Publisher's Description
Winner of PhotoBook of the Year for the 2015 Paris Photo-Aperture Foundation PhotoBook Awards
“Illustrated People” is the translation into book form of a performance by Thomas Mailaender. He applied to the skin of models 23 original negatives selected from the Archive of Modern Conflict’s collection before projecting a powerful UV lamp over them, thus revealing a fleeting image on the skin’s surface. Maileander then photographed each of his models before the sun made the image disappear. The book comprises the resulting shots combined with a series of photographic documents found in AMC’s collection.
Unfortunately the publisher of Illustrated People is out-of-stock. We apologize for any inconvenience and will be contacting all customers who currently have the book listed as a back order.
