Add to basketMelbourne : Anajah Press, 2015. Octavo, handpainted card wrappers, pp. [48], illustrated. An artist's book of photomontaged text and poetry by Melbourne creator Theo Strasser, limited to 50 numbered and signed copies. 'An artist's book by Theo Strasser, compiled from altered and montaged photographs which have been digitally rep…roduced, and acrylic and gouache paintings on heavy and light paper stock. The title, Scavi (meaning excavation in Italian), refers to uncovering the distant past to enable a vision of the future. It is made from experiences in Italy with photographs taken at sites in vaulted tombs, and of uncovered earthen walls and ancient Roman sculptures. The book digs into other layers both personal and physical. It is a book that is aware of itself in its construction, being bound with black thread in a stitched pamphlet-style booklet with heavy felt covers that suggest the colour of pumice, with the title on a tipped-on paper label, with the text in Roman square capitals, like those used for the inscription at the base of Trajan's Column, against a photographic background image of hand-scratched graffiti. The painting content is inspired by Pompeii'. - the artist. Held in four Australian collections (NLA, SLQ, NGA, University of Melbourne).

Add to basket[Melbourne] : Masterthief, 2009. Folio (510 mm tall), lettered cloth, hand-painted endpapers, pp. [44], original screenprints and painted pages with overlaid text. Limited to 10 copies plus 3 artists proofs signed by the artists. This is copy number 8. "Composed by the two creators of Eyewitness (2008) in collaboration with the…poet Colvin, Remembrance is constructed in imposing form, the initial impact of the front boards recalling a tombstone or war monument. The interior, bracketed by the dark whorls of Strasser's acrylic endpapers, freeze-frames post apocalyptic thoughts of an inhumane future grounded in our own reality. In doing so, the artists remind the reader of the consequence of action, specifically in reference to current military actions which while aiming to liberate, actually consecrate suffering" - artists' statement. Six copies held in Australian Libraries (NLA, SLV, SLQ, SLNSW, Monash, Melbourne Uni).

Add to basketMelbourne : Anajah Press, 2016. Quarto, lettered silver felt cover, pp. [72], illustrated. An artist's book by Melbourne creator Theo Strasser, limited to 30 numbered and signed copies. "'Today' is an artist book with an ambiguous silver cover, that denies its appearance as a metallic object, as it is skin smooth, with a soft un…der cover of felt. Today lies in the present time but borders the past with the future. The present time lies inside the book, it is continuously contemporary. This is an abstract discourse on our perception of the present time. All the pages are art works that have been scanned on two different grades of paper, that reference the format of newspapers. This is a book that crosses a zine with a newspaper. A transient book of fleeting visions." - Artist's statement. Held in three Australian collections (NLA, SLV, University of Melbourne) as well as the Bibliotheca Librorum apud Artificem.
