already past and already again there presents work made over a period of three years by Zoë Ghertner and Thomas de Kluyver. Designed by Jonny Lu Studio, it is unbound, and printed on a mixture of coated and uncoated paper stock, to echo the attention to texture in the project. Many of the pages can be unfolded to reveal new expanded sequences, creating moments of amplified discovery.
Presenting a free-flowing series of images that counterpoint the human body with both the natural and ‘hyper-natural’ worlds, the book oscillates between figuration and abstraction. It has an authentic, deeply felt quality which springs from the process with which the images were made – an unbridled creative exchange between Ghertner, de Kluyver and their subjects.
