The Inventaire Déraisonné is a visual archive work. The images, here juxtaposed in a form of automatic writing, come exclusively from found books and then cut out, the artist thus creates 420 pages made up of 2427 images. Anatomical details, ancient sculptures, industrial architectures…These shots come mostly from encyclopedias, dictionaries, as many books that have become obsolete at a time when knowledge seems accessible from any screen. These images constitute a hinterland, a cartography of representations archived by the mind.

We are delighted to announce that Sunmin Park’s Out of (Con)Text is listed as 2021 The Most Beautiful Books in Korea.

Designed by Dokho Shin and published by the Floorplan, this book represents Park’s artistic practice in the last 25 years, which is organically connected, with its delicately structured format. We hope you enjoy Out of (Con)Text, not only the hitherto most representational introduction to Park’s artistic trajectory but also the beautiful book as itself.
Also, we would like to thank all who were involved in making this book including the artist, writers, translators, and Jongkil Jeong of the Samwon Print, and share this joy with designer Dokho Shin and editor Youngju Lee, who make the books of the Floorplan together, and our readers.

15 Horror Stories by Women Workers is an artistic documentary project by Kristina Bozhurska, consisted of 15 testimonies by women workers accompanied by drawings made by the author herself. The book is with dimensions of 11×16 cm and 64 pages representing a pocket edition that can fit in the upper pocket of a worker’s coat. In this sense, design and content-wise, this book becomes a sort of a symbolic pamphlet that disseminates the voices of these women and develops a method for the artistic engagement to gain a new, re-elaborated form and realistically contribute to the issue it thematizes. In the book design we are using the Harour font from Alias Collection, designed by Gareth Hague, as well as the strong blue Pantone – two elements that contribute to the atmosphere from the title itself and the stories told by the women.

This book is an unconventional autobiography. It retraces one year in the life of Rob Pruitt through the quotidian objects that the artist once loved, consumed, then felt he didn’t need anymore. An extension of the real-world flea markets, that he has been organizing since the early 1990’s, this particular collection of belongings sold on eBay from September 23 2013- September 23 2014 unearths precious fragments of Pruitt’s life while revealing his most material desires.
