Slept in Beds is a book produced by Evil Twin Productions in 2003, with photography by Nick Zinner. He may be better known as the drummer for the band Yeah Yeah Yeahs. However, Nick's work was one of the initial reasons why I got into Photography. This series displays beds the morning after, of hotel rooms, friends houses, random locations. Most are ruffled from a nights sleep, while others are still made suggesting one never made it to bed. There is an intimacy added because of the limited production (only 1000 copies of the book ever made). Nick took most of these images during the course of travels with the band.
Nick attended Bard College for Photography.
I've also included the link to Evil Twin Productions for more details.
"Uniuqe artists book produced in a limited edition of 1000 numbered copies. The luscious color photographs are reproduced on slick glossy paper, the text is screen printed on fabric, the binding is handsewn."
After rediscovering this publication, and realizing it had officially sold out I found a seller on amazon, and purchased a copy. I'll bring it to class when I receive it in the mail.
These are amazing! Did he ever exhibit his work?
