Brazil-based Dutch photographer Erik van der Weijde has published over 50 books and zines since 2003, mostly under his imprint 4478ZINE . These slim photozines and simply produced brochures have been a mainstay at New Yorks Printed Matter, Inc. Using both original and borrowed images, van der Weijdes publications present inventories of the non-spectacular and common images of our daily life, gathered as both aesthetic objects and as social commentary. This Is Not My Book for the first time provides an overview of van der Weijdes work, which constitutes one of the most important artistic positions at the interface between photography, design and independent publishing. Imaginatively produced and presented in large format, the book showcases the lines of connection between van der Weijdes various publications, fetishistically laid out on green, red, yellow and blue fields of paper. Illuminating conversations with Spector Books co-founders Anne KoNnig and Jan Wenzel are joined by van der Weijdes publishing manifesto and texts plus generous color illustrations.
