I LOVE this. I’ve been a big fan of ‘zines, artist books, ephemera. Usually this sort of thing has been a contemporary art world practice (think Fluxus Editions, or the collection of David Platzker) but it’s great to see this crossover in the world of photography.
The limited edition Postcards From America box set is a collection of objects – a book, five bumper stickers, a newspaper, two fold-outs, three cards, a poster and five zines, all in a signed and numbered box – that collectively document the experience. Edition of 500, signed by all five photographers and the writer. $250 (Price will go to $350 on February 1, 2012.)
