Summary:
"Sorted Books is many things at the same time: a series of sculptures, or photographs, or site-specific installations; a collection of short stories, or poems, or jokes; a work in which the 'found object' is subject alike to chance and the most painstaking choices; a delicate conceptual game with the horizontal and the vertical. But it is first of all an act of reading."--The introduction, by Brian Dillon.

Publisher Synopsis

"Katchadourian's project - stacking books so that their titles read as droll, poem-like phrases, then photographing the results - takes on a weight beyond its initial novelty. It's a love letter to Read more...
