Photographer Juliette Tang creates unique literary portraits by constructing specific atmospheres and character attributions corresponding to each individual book.
“You made me confess the fears that I have. But I will tell you also what I do not fear. I do not fear to be alone or to be spurned for another or to leave whatever I have to leave. And I am not afraid to make a mistake, even a great mistake, a lifelong mistake and perhaps as long as eternity too.” -James Joyce, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man.

My book is based on the idea that all literature is inspired and influenced by the books that came before it. The text on the outside and inside covers is a short selection from a monologue I wrote about a girl who, in her twenties, sits in a room brimming with books, memories, and ghosts from her childhood. On the accordion spine are miniature versions of existing books by writers such as Nick Flynn and James Joyce, complete with quotes that were particularly influential to me while creating this work. It was printed with an inkjet on book cloth, binder’s board, cardstock, and photo paper, then bound as a flag book. 22.5 x 16 x 1.75 cm.
