Focus

1991 Books

For this first focus, we have chosen to highlight the work of 1991 Books. For several years, Matteo Verzini and Etienne Vergier have been attached to DIY publishing practices and publish together books in very small runs with the photographers and artists around them.


Frequent contributors, they published with us the book Pan & Scan / Class of 1991 during a live performance at our annual Rolling Paper Book Fair. Their latest publication, A dreamer is still asleep by Kamilya Kuspanova, is available on both our website and at the bookstore.


More information about their work here.
