Melbourne : M.33, 2013. Quarto, pictorial cloth, pp. [28], illustrated. Limited to 50 copies signed and numbered by the artist. "These photographs were taken by Yanni Florence not on assignment but as an aside and as a participant in the weekly shopping trip to the SOUTHLAND shopping centre. A brightly lit and colourful place seen in dark, full bleed black and white photographs. Printed on thin glossy paper that references retail junk mail and contrastingly bound in hardback with the cover printed on textured cloth. The photographs depict advertising spruiking ?infinite happiness?, ?good life?, and ?style guides? But they show alienation, loneliness and anxiety. Nevertheless, through this appear people striving for community, under one roof; eating together, sitting together, walking together and being together. Trippy carpet patterns, blurred lights and endless mirrors alongside liver spots and crying babies. It?s a book about people versus architecture." - the publisher.

Melbourne : M.33, 2015. Quarto, decorated cloth, pp. [28], illustrated. Limited to 25 copies signed and numbered by the artist. " ?Immolation? is a book of photographs by Yanni Florence of people on fire. Not in flames running down the street screaming but quietly burning. There is smoke coming from a man seen from behind as he waits to cross the road at the traffic lights. It looks like he is on fire. Self-combusting. Slowly burning up from the inside. He and others in this book are giving off smoke signals. ?Immolation? is a studied selection of 19 photographs from hundreds of photographs that were taken to decipher these signals." - Trove.
