Salvaging deteriorating photographs held in museums and archives as a Zen technique
Recalling the Zen technique of Kintsugi, in which breakage is regarded as part of the history of an object, rather than something to be disguised, Spanish photographer Joan Fontcuberta (born 1955) salvages fragile photographic materials. This elegant volume features Japanese binding stitched with golden thread.
