376 pages
An artist’s book published on the occasion of my exhibition By Hand, on Foot at PEER, London
Each day in 2021, Vlatka Horvat took a photograph while on a walk. These photographs of landscapes and urban locations became the basis for To See Stars over Mountains, a series of 365 works on paper. After printing each day’s photograph on her home inkjet printer, Horvat transforms them manually in different ways; by drawing or collaging on top of it, by making cuts or tears in the paper, by folding the page or relocating parts of the image. This book gathers all 365 pieces that comprise the project, a diary of sorts as well as a thoughtful re-imagining of the landscape and its possibilities.
With an essay by Lauren Elkin
