six
editorial | photography
“Six” is a book exploring the idea of mess. An image-based book meant to slow the user down, and to read images rather than simply skimming through them. The omission of text within the book was done with intention, adding a six-dot grid to allow the book to be read universally, without the use of typical alphabet-structured literacy.
Each image is initially shown intact, then in the following pages broken down into a grid made up of six sections, allowing the user to re-read and re-examine each image closer up.
The book is split up into four sections, each based around a central image. Each image is a “messy” space, containing an array objects within it. As each section progresses, it shows spreads of close ups of the images based on the grid, to allow for further digestion and deeper inspection of the images. Following the grid view of the images, objects from within the image were organized to match in groups based on their relation to each other, and photographed out of context of the space.
