Illustrated People

First edition. This book is the translation into book form of a performance by Thomas Mailaender. He appliedto the skin of models 23 original negatives selected from the Archive of Modern Conflict’s collection before projecting a powerful UV lamp over them, thus revealing a fleeting image on the skin’s surface. Mailaender then photographed each of his models before the sun made the image disappear. The book comprises the resulting shots combined with a series of photographic documents selected by Thomas Mailaender in AMC’s collection in London.This book won the price for the best photobook of the year, both at Photo España and at Paris Photo 2015.
