An artist book by Rami Maymon. ‘Further Reading’ both reconstructs and deconstructs a photography exhibition created by Rami Maymon where objets d’art, images, and spreads from art history books are photographed in various poses and compositions, and integrated amongst various other photographs created by the artist. As a nod to the uncertainty of the medium’s empirical authority, Maymon approaches visual history in sculptural and performative terms, infusing his creative process into the already charged stature of the images selected. This edition builds upon this continual translation by collapsing the exhibition into an artist book. The walls of the Museum are transformed into pages, where the viewer zooms in and out of the images, guided by the exhibition’s numerical system, which stands in for the book’s page numbers. In addition, each work receives a new layer of meaning through a series of philosophical aphorisms written by Raphael Zagury-Orly and Joseph Cohen, which deviate entirely from the work’s original context, situating the project as a visual meditation on the many ‘archaeological’ layers of time, genre and space. 23 X 30 cm, 110 pg EnglishISBN 978-1-988689-00-5May 2018
