| Item Description: | "It took a while to find the right form for this work. I wanted something that would echo my encounter with a city as well as with a new person, the intimacy of the photoshoot and the meandering through Madrid's streets and art galleries. I tried several options until everything came together in the accordion folded book, which is also known as a leporello. Leporello is the name of Don Giovanni's manservant. When his master asks for a catalogue of his lovers, the list is so long it falls open like a concertina unravelling. Up until the 1950s, it was common to see postcards bound in an accordion fold to reveal glimpses of the city." -- from www.kissandtellpress.com/collections/frontpage/products/luke-madrid (viewed 5 May 2017). |
