Another in the wonderful 6dream project in which artists' are paired with illustrating six dreams recounted by young people who live in varied locations and countries. In this case the illustrations and design have been done by Agata Marchlewicz and the young authors (9-11 years old) all come from Cacalotan in Mexico.

If you search for "6dreams" on this blog you'll find a bunch of others in this series.

5 double-sided pages, individual pages 8.25" x 7.75", and fully open at 3ft 2.75".

Edward Steichen and me, 1900

A fun tongue-in-the-cheek photographer's in-book about photography & photographers that's introduced by a detourned cover image depicting Wieser posing with the famous photographer Edward Steichen from 1900! The inside of this postcard accordion format work depicts photographs of the following photographers (left to right): Alfred Stieglitz, Frank Eugene & Stieglitz, Man Ray, J.H. Lartigue, Ralph Gibson, Fred Boissonas & Paul Nadar. All hot choices I'd have to say.

9 double-sided pages, individually 6" x 4", and when fully open 3 feet.
