Reinier Gerritsen The Last Book
December 13 – February 7, 2015
Reception and book signing, Saturday, December 13, 3-6 pm
For almost a decade Gerritsen has been working in the New York City subways. Here he explores the act of reading as it occurs in public spaces, the cramped and jostled environment of a subway car. It began as a series of modest observations and transformed into a collection of vivid documentary portraits, set against a visual landscape of best sellers, classics, romance novels, detective thrillers, and every kind of printed book, as diverse as the readers. Conceived as an elegy to the end of bound books, in a positive twist it has now become evident that people are moving away from electronic reading devices and that the printed book is alive and well!
