Photo Book! Photo-Book! Photobook! A4 Arts Foundation, Cape Town, 2022
Two recent photobook projects grounded in experiment introduced Sean O’Toole’s exhibition Photo book! Photo-book! Photo-book!. The first, Patrick Waterhouse and Mikhael Subotzky’s Ponte City (2014), published by Steidl, was shown together with a site-specific installation composed by the artists at A4, featuring various book dummies and related residue generated between 2008 and 2020. The installation took the casual title: ‘Ponte’ dummies and prototypes toward the book.
