SIGNEDFrom an interview with Jorg Colberg: "I really see the book as an art work. I like that you don’t need to show those photographs on the wall, because this project is quite an intimate collaboration between me, my intern and the patients who had their birthdays. Lang Zal Ze Leven("happy Birthday To You")is the result of Anouk Kruithof's three-month residency at a psychiatric institution. Instead of doing a standard documentary, Kruithof held a birthday party for ten patients, commemorating each event through photographs and words. "There is a parallel in how I use the medium photography and the book. Both deal with a fixed frame, like a photograph itself as a result of what you frame. A book is a bit like that, you know. It always has pages, it has a beginning and an end. I love to work within these frames but at the same time I want to escape from them. That’s why I make those more tactile, physical objects where there are pages of different sizes, or they are fold-out pages that come out of the frame of the book. I think in my own photography I also do that."CHECK OUT OUR STORE FOR MORE HARD TO FIND, RARE AND SIGNED PHOTOGRAPHY BOOKS, PHOTOGRAPHS AND ART
