A continuation of Downsbrough’s series of books condensing and conflating the relationship between images and text, experience and interpretation, immersion and abstraction. This small edition uses two vertical bars to repeatedly divide various photographs of landscapes, interiors and urban street scenes. The images then drop periodically from the books rhythm, and in their place short staccato word phrases are introduced – developing a grammar that is both spatial, textual, and imaginary.--from Printed Matter
Published in 1972, Notes on Location is an early example of this prolific output. In this book Downbrough’s signature minimalism thrives on indication: text gently nudges the reader’s eye from top to bottom or side to side of each page, suggesting paths of harmony or conflict, moving through potential space.--from Printed Matter website
