The three volumes contain photo sequences taken in Times Square in New York on 5.5.2014. A cinematic sequence is created when the volumes are leafed through in parallel.
The volumes are preceded by a motto by Roland Barthes from "La chambre claire. Note sur la photographie" in front of it: in volume 1 in the original French, in volume 2 in German and in volume 3 in English translation. Photography, design and book printing: Ines von Ketelhodt.
The photographs were digitally printed on opaque paper, and the texts were letterpress printed from polymer clichés on glassine paper. Three cardboard covers with fabric spine in a slipcase (cardboard with black lacquered wooden bars), title embossed.
20.5 x 31.2 cm, 24 pages each, 40 numbered and signed copies. Flörsheim/Main 2014
