Fathomless uses depth and movement in space to engage with questions around the opacity of memory and the fluid scale of the passage and presence of time. The concept is inspired by the idea of “time depth,” a term used in multiple disciplines to enable a spatial imagining of our relationship to time both as individuals and societies.
Featuring laser-printed transparency film and a modified tunnel book structure, Fathomless evokes the turbulence and vastness of the time we inhabit as individuals and the mechanics of changing memory.
Fathomless was published as a part of the Small Plates Imprint through the San Francisco Center for the Book. This book was designed, printed, and bound by Paul Oh with the assistance of Chad Johnson and SFCB volunteers.
