In this book the author explores the unique ability of photography to build connections with other artistic forms: sculpture, painting, collage, installation, performance. Photography being two-dimensional can give the illusion of volume, represent the real space or object as illusory universe, resemble documentation of an installation or of the results of a performance, look like a combination of fragments put and glued together, or it can be an abstract image which accentuates the surface of the support as this was made by the modernist painters. The illusion of depth specific to the medium allows to play with the representation or reality.
The book is based on photos taken in the urban space. They refer to constructed, staged imagery, although they all depict found and non-manipulated reality.
The book form is crucial for this project. It is a spatial, three-dimensional object which can be manipulated in a variety of ways. It contains flat images printed on paper that obtain volume when unfolded. The sequence creates visual connection between the photos. The book is “endless”: the end is the beginning. It can become a sculpture when unfolded and placed on a table.

About — They started making self-published books and zines together since 2010, and in 2016 founded Zoopark Collective as an experimental platform for the future editions and collaborative projects. So far they have published more than a dozen of publications which are distributed in specialized shops in Russia, Europe and Japan. In their publications as well as video projects Tatyana and Alexander combine photography, texts, graphics, illustrations, video footage, shot by themselves or found, trying to make statements not only about their personal lives and experiences, but also about wider socio-political contexts they happened to live in.

Zoopark pays special attention to the book form and its possibilities as a medium for conveying their work. They make very limited printed editions, often manually produced and experimenting more and more with inkjet printing. Over the years Zoopark Collective participated in numerous photo&art book fairs and festivals all over Europe and in Russia, in performance and music festivals performing their live video-projections, usually in collaboration with different musicians and sound artists. From June to August of 2018 they founded and managed the Zoopark Studio / Berlin project: an experimental art space / gallery / photobooks & zines & art print shop / concerts / reading groups / artist talks etc. Since 2019 Zoopark leads practical photobook & zine making workshops.
