Nuit Ovale

Juli Susin

Composed of 48 uncaptioned photographs and an
elaborate cover in the rondo-cubist style printed
in gilt, the book is conceived as an anonymous
object from Juli Susin’s photographic archive (over
500 images) selected and laid out by Julia Rublow.
Transformed into a variant of vintage photo albums,
diaries, the book is based on autobiographical facts.
The printing of the images in Risography and their
very neutral layout adds a distance from the standard
facsimile reproduction of photographs, asserting a
further refusal to “stick” photography to reality by
means of an apparatus of references.
