Swoon Book

We are massive fans of the work of street artist Swoon and don't know why we haven't come across this publication before this. While not exactly new, the book was published in October 2008 by Deitch Projects to accompany Swoon's "Swimming Cities of Switchback Sea" fall 2008 exhibition at Deitch's Long Island City project space. We have only just stumbled upon it recently on Amazon.

While the main focus of the photography in the book is Swoon's gallery work, it does feature a small section of street work including some of Swoons very early street work before she began creating the beautifully elaborate cut-out pieces that we now know her for. Also in the book is a short eassy written by Swoon about how and why she started to work on the streets.
