A performative exercise and masterclass in “photo-bookmaking,” Cover to Cover follows artist Michael Snow through a series of disorienting, domestic images.
Cover to Cover is a seminal artist book by Canadian conceptual artist and filmmaker Michael Snow, first published in 1975. The work is a performative exercise in 'photo-bookmaking' that explores the mechanics of visual perception, the materiality of the book, and the boundaries between still and moving images. It presents a two-way photographic narrative that takes the reader on a psychological and physical journey through domestic spaces, often described as a 'quasi-movie.' By utilizing sequential photography, Snow cleverly exploits the conventions of the book to create a cinematic experience, making it a landmark in the history of conceptual art and the photobook medium.
