Untitled: the Book as ObjectJoe Gebbia's series "Untitled" is an insight and intervention into the publishing industry.
Taking the blank galley proof and presenting it as a single unique object.
This piece offers a way of looking, at objects, at recycling at the value of error and how artistic intervention brings insight and new value to the world we live in.
Gebbia says "the books are uniquely one-of-a-kind, blank canvases to fill with their own values, creativity, and commentary on what constitutes art and design".
Each book is unique 1/1, devoid of all text and print, it is a pre-production draft from the publishing industry.
By generating only a single book, it subverts mass production practice and becomes a craft object.
These simple and beautiful series of books, with their title and authorship lost, act like an unopened present, leaving the door to your imagination ajar.
By celebrating the vessel-the book as object - Untitled explores new ways of seeing our world and the objects in it, reminding us of the power and beauty of the object and its ability to represent ideas.
