Design by Christopher Lawson Ltd. Production by Book Works, London
Folio of concordances extracted from newspaper reportage in the printed version of The Guardian. Repeated every five years between 2005 and 2025, on two days of each selected year, to produce ten vast, alphabetised verb lists, the majority of which begin with ‘TO ABANDON…’ and end with ‘TO WRITE…’.
The essay Camera Consciousness, by Margaret Iversen, is published in the book and can be downloaded here.
‘Compelled to Count’, an essay by Sadie Plant, describes the concordance work midway through the project.
