it published its first two books<\/a>, Hanataba by S\u00f8lve Sundsb\u00f8 and Songen by Julia Hetta. <\/p>\nTrevor Key\u2019s experimental photography spanned over 20 years, from 1972 to 1995. The Sigma Foundation says that over the course of his creative journey, he chose like-mindedly exacting conceptual thinkers, including art directors Jamie Reid, David James and Peter Saville with whom he would imagine, visually problem solve, and take creative risks. <\/p>\n
\u201cWithin the visual heart of this book is Key and Saville\u2019s experimental collaboration that ventured beyond the confines of commissioned album covers into a personal quest that Saville and Key shared to rethink image-making and have a truly independent and speculative creative flow,\u201d the Sigma Foundation says. \u201cIn the book\u2019s conversation between Key\u2019s collaborator and celebrated art director Peter Saville and writer and curator Charlotte Cotton, Saville gives a detailed and deeply personal account of the context, practices and radical shifts in visual culture that he and Key created together. <\/p>\n

\u201cIn the mid. 1980s, Key flipped analogue darkroom conventions and made vibrant and abstract images that are as contemporary today as they were in 1987, and an enduring marker of the freedoms that human-scaled and collaborative processes hold and a route map for creating the visuals of our time.\u201d<\/p>\n
The 244-page book will be available in an edition of 1,500 through this run and includes photographs by Trevor Key, an essay by Charlotte Cotton, and an interview with Peter Saville and Charlotte Cotton. The book is printed by Hakko Bijutsu and will measure 213 x 285 x 24.5mm. The book is scheduled for release \u201caround August.\u201d<\/p>\n
