Buried
Buried features a collection of photos by Stephen Gill that were buried by the photographer, near where they were taken. Mues used this as her inspiration for the design of the book, and buried each copy before retrieving and presenting them in a clean, blind-embossed slipcase. The result is that each book has different degrees of smudging and deterioration on the cover.
“My relationship with this client has been shaped over the many projects we have done together,” explains Mues. “Stephen is very aware of design that overpowers the content, so his brief was to find a format, material, and treatment for the book that reflected the playful, hands-on approach of this particular project.”
As well as the slipcase, each book (only 750 were printed) comes with a print from the photographic series.
