There were two reasons for doing this. First of all, I wanted to test an idea I have been obsessed with: ripping cinema from the screen and stuffing it onto the printed page. This book has a few influences and references that are quite obvious. But I hoped to take those references in a new direction by making a film in book form (perhaps this has already been done in a photo book, but I am unaware of it if it does exist). So, I chose to shoot in black and white as to not interrupt the cinematic experience with color, I break the confines of the page format by having some pictures begin on one page and continue on the next, and I chose not to have any type-set text so that there would always be forward movement to the next frame. The text that appears has been stenciled and then photographed so that it feels more like credits in a movie and the film reel remains unbroken.

This is a serious interview for serious photographers. Much to discuss there.
