RISK (Svensk Bokproduktion, 2012)

Galleri Thomassen, Gothenburg. August 2012 FIVE BOOKS PHOTOGRAPHED, PRINTED AND BOUND IN FIVE DAYS On the opening day (August 14) the gallery space was completely empty. All the material and tools needed to create the show had been delivered and placed on the street outside. The invited visitors helped bringing everything inside the gallery, which became the three artist's studio during five days, open for anyone to come by and watch the progress. As part of the show photographer Per Englund documented the working process and produced five 24 page booklets in five days inside the gallery. He also documented the documentation by pointing a surveillance camera towards himself, which broadcasted live on the publisher's website (svenskbokproduktion.se). On August 19 the public was invited back to take part of the the finished result of the five days work. The handmade booklets were displayed and sold in a slipcase in an edition of 25 numbered copies.
