Blacktop Memento, fragments of erosion — a 160 pages artbook showcasing stills from my medium format archives, a series of 76 playground close-ups collected worldwide for more than a decade. ​​​​​​​​ Introduced by masterful author @jessejohnwashington , Blacktop Memento traces an original cartography of asperities, wrinkles, and color spectra: memories sculpted by the encounters between man and matter. ​​​​​​​​ Entirely printed and fashioned in French workshop @atelierbulk using traditional binding techniques, the book comes with an extra 44 pages booklet explaining the design & printing processes led by @richardbertetic & @lab.eillenoire .​​​​​​​​ Blacktop Memento is co-published by @asphaltchronicles & @acommonpractice in an edition of 1.000 and also comes with a limited-edition concrete sleeve (76 units) built from an ultra-resistant blend of concrete and fiberglass.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ Follow the link in bio to grab a copy before it's too late ! ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ If you are based in the USA/Americas, make sure to visit @acommonpractice for a faster delivery. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​
