Crash has been beautifully designed by James Langdon and is now available and being distributed by Cornerhouse Publications at a bargain price of £10!
The 44 page hard back publication comprises of a single image which flows across each spread and uses japanese binding techniques to allow the image to physically continue across the outside edge of the pages. The effect that is achieved is similar to ‘concertina’ folding however, the key difference is that the viewer is NOT able to open out the folds in order to see the entirety of the image.
It has been published by New Art Gallery Walsall, supported by Arts Council England and Coventry University.
