Pre-order "Closure" Published by Documento
Hi, my name is Michaëlis Moshe, I'm a photographer, graphic designer and independent publisher for the most part. I'm originally from Congo, but I live in Barcelona now since 2001. I've met so many people in my life, so many girls, that I created the photos you'll see in this book. Its 4 years of work that I would like to close sharing this book with you, a flood of memories that will never be lost. Closure is the first editorial book project published by documento, an upcoming independent publishing house based in Paris and Barcelona. This book project was thought to establish "documento" as a future independent publisher, after 6 years of working with Nhudes magazine and other different projects, I thought it was time now to start something new. I've worked with so many artists since I founded Nhudes magazine that I thought it was only natural now to create a structure where I could publish each artists individually in a brand new platform, and thats how "documento" came into form, but before releasing any projects with those artists I already came in contact with, I thought that the best way to start was to release this book, with my own works, to generate enough funds that will help me create this structure which the first goal is to publish other artists. About "CLOSURE" "Closure" is my first book as a photographer. A poetic view of my most recent photographic work mixed with a few pictures taken 4 years ago. Closure as the word suggest closes 4 years of trying to understand myself as a photographer, trying to define my style, and now as a designer it gives me the opportunity to start thinking my work in a different way, more technically and in a more profound way; emotionally.
Book Manufacturing! The book will have 168 pages — Cover included. I would like to print it on a Munken A 150 g/m2 Munken Pure Rough paper — Which in my opinion is a good paper for film photography. The cover is soft, but will be protected by a Coated Matt cover jacket. The idea is to print 200 copies of the book About the Pre-order: By pre-ordering your copy of "Al Atlas", you help the fundraising to progress, and the project to potentially be published. The funds will be used to finance all the different stages of the project: printing, sending of the counterparts. I really hope to reach the 100 pre-orders needed, which would make it possible for "CLOSURE" to be published. If we exceed the target, it will allow us to make the book known to a larger number of people and to distribute it in bookshops specialized in art photography. The books will be delivered in September 2022. See you Michaëlis
