“As Far as You Can See, presented by COMMERCE, is the first comprehensive collection of Erik Kessels’s books, spanning from 1997 to today - including his latest, Incomplete Encyclopedia of Touch. This richly illustrated volume traces over two decades of Kessels’s artistic, editorial, and photographic explorations. Internationally known for his work with vernacular photography and visual storytelling, Kessels has crafted a body of work that captures the human, the everyday, and the absurd - one book at a time. The publication includes a new text by critic and curator Francesco Zanot, structured as a series of concise reflections - one for each book - offering a fragmented yet cohesive insight into Kessels’s evolving visual language. This is the debut editorial project by COMMERCE, marking its commitment to bibliographic research and the editorial practices of contemporary image-makers.”
A photo-documentation of the many books by Erik Kessels, with a text by Francesco Zanot, bibliography in the back.
