As Far as You Can See by Erik Kessels
A monograph by Dutch artist Erik Kessels.
‘As Far as You Can See’, presented by COMMERCE, is the first comprehensive collection of Kessels’s books, spanning from 1997 to today – including his latest, Incomplete Encyclopaedia of Touch. This richly illustrated volume traces over two decades of Kessels’s artistic, editorial, and photographic explorations. Known internationally for his work with vernacular photography and visual storytelling, Kessels has crafted a body of work that captures the human, the everyday, and the absurd―one book at a time.
The publication includes a new text by critic and curator Francesco Zanot, structured as a series of concise reflections – one for each book – offering a fragmented yet cohesive insight into Kessels’s evolving visual language. Designed by Cabinet Milano, the book features a modular layout that integrates video stills made in collaboration with Riccardo Ruffolo and Enrico Zanetti, also part of the accompanying exhibition.
