Work // Lost in Translation
Alex Julyan & Bill Gilonis
This book is about twenty second - hand objects that became the subject of an unusual experiment. Its authors: Alex Julyan, an artist in London, and Bill Gilonis, a musician based in Zurich decided to use the geographical distance between them to ask the question: “What happens when the processes of observation and drawing which are usually concurrent, are undertaken by two people living different places?”. A process was devised whereby the selection of each object was made through a chance operation. The object was translated into a description in one country, and the description translated into drawing in another. © Alex Julyan & Bill Gilonis Design by Toby Montague Photographs by Jo Crowther |
