ACCIDENT as a photographic series was created for a column running monthly in 1969 in the magazine Asahi Camera. The publication of ACCIDENT is the first time this series has been realized as a bookwork. ACCIDENT takes the photobook and edges it closer to the artist's multiple. The individual spreads of the book are silk-screened prints that have been affixed together and folded to form an accordion that is twenty metres in length when fully extended. The choice of printing the entirety of the book in silk screen is meant to give the images a materiality through the reproduction process.
