Fallow

Artist Germaine Koh made two presentations of the same work – in Berlin and Vancouver. For the accompanying publication, the goal was to have it read more as a book than a standard exhibition catalogue. Full page images in continuous spreads lend to an unobtrusive design to give a sense of Fallow’s scale. The second half of the book includes texts by Cate Rimmer, Lisa Robertson, and the artist. Co-published by Emily Carr University Press and Charles H. Scott Gallery.
