ONE PICTURE BOOK #85: THE AUDIENCE by Roger Ballen

アメリカ生まれ、1970年代から南アフリカに住み活動している写真家、ロジャー・バレン(Roger Ballen)の作品集。アメリカの出版社「NAZRAELI PRESS」が手がけるプリント付き作品集シリーズ『ONE PICTURE BOOK』の第85巻。

アーティストによるオリジナル作品を手軽に購入できるよう1998年に同出版社によって考案されたこのシリーズは、各タイトル500部限定発行、装丁やページ数が統一された手に取りやすいサイズで作られており、サイン入りのオリジナルプリントが書籍に添付されている。本シリーズは2016年に100タイトルで完結し、続編としてリニューアルした『ONE PICTURE BOOK TWO』へと移行している。

The photograph Audience from Roger Ballen’s book “Asylum of the Birds” has been deconstructed to afford viewers a more intimate look at the pictorial elements contained within it. In Ballen’s contribution to our One Picture Book series, “The Audience”, the individual drawings from the photographs are extruded singularly, presenting the reader with a close-up look at Roger Ballen’s drawings. “The Audience” is limited to 500 numbered copies, and includes an original signed photograph by Roger Ballen.

NAZRAELI PRESS' popular One Picture Book series was conceived in 1998 as a way to make original artwork affordable. The series consists of uniformly designed, modestly-sized hardcover books, comprising 16 pages that serve as a “canvas” for the artist to display one cohesive body of work. Each title is limited to 500 numbered copies and includes an original tipped-in photograph, signed on the verso by the artist. The One Picture Book series ended in 2016 with its 100th title and has now moved to a new upgraded One Picture Book Two series.
