Books,kept close.
A compact collection of printed projects from Brian G Vault. Each volume considers the photograph as an object: paced, sequenced and made for sustained looking.
About the collection
Images need room.
The book collection gathers photographic work in a slower format. Sequencing, paper and scale shape how a project is encountered, allowing images to sit alongside one another rather than compete for attention.
Current titles are presented as archive entries. For availability, edition details or general questions, contact Brian G Vault directly.
