Kent’s latest installation is one we can all relate to (hopefully!): an exploration of self-help books in a photographic form…
From his artist statement:
“Everything that I wish I could be is an exploration of language, emotions and the desire to change and improve one’s self. There is a self-help book for almost every moment and problem in life; from relationship advice to dealing with the inevitability of death. Each large format photograph, pictures an arrangement of title pages and spines, from up to 100 self-help books that are based around a central theme. Together, the titles create larger narratives, which become portraits of emotions, people and events in life.”
What an interesting study, and how awesome would these prints look in an office or library? (You can email Kent to purchase!)
oh, I think I want these right now :) lovely *
