Double Orbit by Grégoire Pujade-Lauraine. Published by MACK.
I hesitate to say too much about Double Orbit before showing it to friends because I want them to experience its delights themselves, without my interference. Words would overwhelm the modesty of the book’s perfection, which resides equally in the pictures, the printing, and the simple, elegant materials and construction. It’s rare that a photobook feels so completely integrated with all of its components, and remarkable that such restraint in making should result in such a surplus of meaning. It demands to be experienced in person.
