Our second publication here at Ampersand coincides with an exhibition of photographs by John Ryan Brubaker. Brubaker first showed me the photographs he shot last spring while traveling through Vietnam in the form of a small artist book he had made by hand. The result of a design & publishing collaboration between Ampersand & Brubaker, this version of Strange Cities has been published in an edition of 100 copies, printed here in Portland & hand-sewn by the artist, the first ten of which include two gelatin silver prints. Shot on 35mm film, the photographs record the tangled chaos, the wounded patterns & the congested horizon, street & railway lines that comprise any strange city a traveler gets lost in.
Brubaker has also made a special edition of five handmade copies comprised of archival pigment prints sewn in signatures, which also includes two gelatin silver prints (purchase here).
