Theorem
Theorem
Antonia Contro + Elizabeth Bradfield
In Theorem, spare images, distilled text, and the resonant space between investigate the legacy of secrets acquired in childhood and held through a life.
The edition is a very limited edition of 30. Hand-bound, letterpressed, held in a unique wrap, with original hand working of each book, Theorem represents a subtle yet dynamic conversation between text and image. Because both image and text have their own stories to tell, the two are not often on facing pages. Rather, the reader must turn a page to move from each to each, then turn back to consider the resonance of what came before, what follows. The book is large—12.5" x 12.5"—and each of its five sections reduces slightly in size. The effect is a tactile and emotional winnowing.
