    Summary

    On 4 July 2005, Christian Marclay photographed a marching band at an Independence Day parade in Hyde Park, New York. He then produced eight photographs as large prints, and proceeded to tear them up into more than 40 pieces. The result is this artist's book, which composes Marclay's chaotic photo-fragments into a visual and narrative equivalent of a sound-art work.

    "On 4 July 2005, Marclay photographed a marching band at an Independence Day parade in Hyde Park, New York. He then produced eight photographs as large prints, and proceeded to tear them up into more than 40 pieces. The result is this artist's book, which composes Marclay's chaotic photo-fragments-a foot suspended in midair, cymbals about to crash, a drumstick vibrating, trumpets detached from their players-into a visual and narrative equivalent of a sound-art work. In a further analogy to the artist's process, the book is printed in French folds that the reader must tear open to read. "--Publisher's website.
