Last Fall, the International Center of Photography (in conjunction with the ICP Triennial) was kind enough to publish my first artist’s book.  Titled “Love…Hate…Nature (Max)”, which essentially represents one of my grid works published, page by page, polaroid by polaroid in an unfolding narrative.

We’re happy to offer a few of the artist’s proofs of the book (limited to 25 and not all are available) through the studio.  We believe that the museum still has some copies as well, tho we’re not sure!  Below is the text used by ICP to describe the book.  If you’re interested in any of the artsit’s proofs, please contact the studio through the contact section of the website.  They’re $95 plus shipping (variable based on country ect…)

“Love… Hate… Nature…” , 2009

By Jeremy Kost

This is Jeremy Kost’s first book and he has chosen as his subject Max and a loving, stuffed tiger. The unguarded intimacy that characterizes Jeremy’s work is portrayed in this series of 62 images taking the viewer on a voyeuristic romp packed with erotic wallop. Jeremy chooses to work with a Polaroid camera, this obsolescent device is less furtive than the digital cameras of more recent vintage, and seems to disarm people with its promise of an immediately tangible picture. Kost enjoys working within the Polaroid’s technical restrictions which limits his control and results in the images marred by uneven luminosity and fuzzy contours.

The book is limited to 150 numbered copies and each includes a signed original inkjet print ( the first in this post).
