"invite new readings; at times absurd or humorous, at others unsettlingly violent or erotic"
"Here, they can be viewed in an alternative way and different meanings can arise."
"emerged through the book's sequencing process itself, where certain images naturally found their place and others were set aside, to serve the narrative and overall flow"
"memory played a central role, as particular images resurfaced in our minds along the way as ideal pairings or counterpoints"
Carl collated found instructional photographs into a photobook titled Static Motion, published by LL'Editions and designed by Lundgren+Lindqvist. The publication removes original instructions and reframes the imagery to encourage new readings. Detached from utilitarian origins, the photographs invite absurd, humorous, unsettlingly violent, or erotic interpretations. Strategic pairings across spreads establish dialogues between unrelated images and generate novel meanings through contrast and juxtaposition. The designers used an intuitive sequencing process guided by memory to select and place images. The book intentionally preserves variety across subjects, gestures, body parts, genders, colours, and layout to emphasize ambiguity and contradiction.
