À propos du livre
I wanted to explore here the clues and mysteries intrinsic to the back of the head: that part of us which we never directly see, and to which we pay little attention.
How do we decode a headshot that omits the face? What do we look to for information when there is no expression to see? Clothing, hairstyle, posture and background take on new meaning.
You can't have a front without a back- so what does our back say about us?

À propos du créateur
One Week One Book is an experimental series created by artist Stephen Schaub in 2013. Each book was conceived of, executed, and sent to print in the course of a single week. A total of twelve books were made in the series. Documentary in style, they combine a visual wit with a strong aesthetic sensibility. Artist Stephen M. Schaub's works have been described as "art dreaming about itself." In them, rather than experiencing a literal place or a linear story, we encounter something akin to the fragmentation of an emotional memory- or the illogic of a dream. Depicting scenes of unresolved narrative, these images seem to have been subjected to the vagaries of perception and the passage of time. Schaub is an innovator whose works defy classification. In his Vermont studio he combines monumentality of scale with light-sensitive techniques and the presentation of works on paper, to create each singular, unique work of art.
