This book of multivalent narratives began with a simple premise: the collection of sheets of paperâripped from booksâfeaturing multiple photographs and inlaid narratives. Across a decade of working on other projects involving pulling images apart from one another, excising them from the page and recontextualizing them as new sets, American artist Carmen Winant (born 1983) diligently collected disparate sheets, skimming them off the top of her other ongoing collections. The book that has resulted from that work is wide-ranging in terms of subjectâwith sheets depicting rabbinical study, dog training, surgical birth, methods of tantric sex, patterns of the sunsetâyet specific in approach and application. Her constructed pages trouble how the idea of âthemeâ operates as the engine of a book, instead taking the act of arranging, both in discrete pages and as a whole, as its own meaningful subject.
