A Place Both Wonderful and Strange
ClientFuego Books
Idea An anthology that brings together the work of 13 international photographers in a narrative that is both wonderful and strange, inspired by Twin Peaks and the work of David Lynch. The design of this photobook published by Fuego Books shows the concept of duality so present in the Lynchian universe . And it does so from something as primitive as the sensory experience of its covers, through the contrast of simultaneously touching the roughness of sandpaper and the softness of red velvet, both a visual icon of the series.
« «The bet of Fuego books has paid off. The book is engaging, with no weaknesses that might have led to losing perspective. In fact, it remains as a whole in the formal that, the truth, I did not expect. It's definitely due to the smart decisions that have been made regarding which artists to involve»
