From the bottom of the chin to the top of the head

This is a publication with the Artist Patricia Sousa. The booklet is a space of expression of the norm of the passport pictures and regulations. The grid is the norm and the type evolves through the book in order to fill in the space of the spread, as the face should fill in the space of the photography. The 300 copies, like the passports, present a common state, personnalized by the hand glued colored pictures. With Texts by Sophie Nield and Raqs Media Collective.

DAI PUBLICATIONS is a collection of artist’s books issued by the Dutch Art Institute (DAI) and designed in collaboration with the Werkplaats Typografie (WT). The 2011 edition consists of 16 publications. In close collaboration with one or more guest authors, artists team up with designers to produce an artwork in the form of printed matter. From very diverse perspectives they reflect on publishing as a versatile medium.
