Meistens
macht man die im Haus,
aber im Sommer gehts auch draussen
by Linus Bill
Published by Nieves Books
"Two
years after Piss down my back and tell me it's Raining, Linus Bill's
(Bienne, 1982) second publication for Nieves brings out a new side of
Bill’s art, still a very personal and intimate body of work like the
previous one, but this time around turning the spotlight on himself,
with an introspective look at the thoughts of becoming a father and the
ways to connect and relate with his soon-to-be born child.
The
drawings were produced during a 6 months stay in Paris in 2007, with a
technique Bill calls "light on photographic paper", using self-modified
pocket-lamps on black&white photographic paper, creating very
instinctive works, allowing coincidence, letting accidents happen and
leaving mistakes as they are.
All
works are reproduced in original scale, so that all the details are
clearly visible as they were originally produced by the artist. 100
copies of the book are accompanied by Please Merry Me, a limited
edition zine of Linus Bill's latest photography."
