Defragmentering. En fotobok om fragment

Abstract

How do you reed a book? Do you start at the beginning, or do you begin with the end or maybe in the middle? In my exam project I elected to work with a photographic publication about fragments of pictures combined in different ways, changing the context of the photographs and making the reader search for the whole picture, literary. During the project I tried to create a method for folding which would make the pictures communicate differently depending on how they where stacked against each other. I wanted to explore new ways to read the photo book, and how the format could be transformed by folding, to be able to show the pictures in a larger scale. Working with the material from an earlier project about defragmentation, I wanted to create a book that would correspond to this and figure out how it would work.
