    There has been talk of the demise of the book and the demise of photography for quite some time now. It is unlikely, at least for the immediate future, that books and photographs will disappear, but it is a fact that those objects are no longer what they used to be, and that our relationship with the knowledge, truth power they articulated for centuries has changed. One of the changes most often spoken about is that there has been a democratization regarding who makes and collects both electronic texts and images. Millions with access to computers and certain infrastructural needs like electricity and Internet without having to think of themselves as writers of photographers. This kind of public literacy has demystified the ways in which power, knowledge and truth had been naturalized as intrinsic to technically produced and reproduced texts and images. Today everyone now knows that there is no scientific objective truth behind any printed word or any photograph -only the assurance that a specific point of view was adopted.

    Max Steven Grossman's Bookscapes question these transformations. Printed large enough to pass as an actual library, these images point to the gradual loss of paper books, especially those that inhabited homes and fostered learning, dreaming, escapes. These surface only libraries are now commodities of the art world, that can be purchased according to themes-art, film, music, fashion- and literally reproduce both the classic cataloguing systems of libraries, as well as the fantasies and desires of their owners, collapsing the distance between public and private libraries. Yet these images are composites, collages in Grossman's own words. The books in every image have never quite been placed in that way except in the virtual space of his computer. Grossman photographs some of the books in bookstores he visits, others he finds floating in the sea of Internet images. He builds collections and then chooses from his own image banks. When looked at from a close distance, you can see that each book spine has a distinct image quality, revealing their different provenance, their composite or collage character.

    French Blue Edition 04 of 15

    Art No: 29

    Artist: Costa Christo

    Date Captured: July 2022

    Location: France

    Inspiration: “French Blue" was captured on a hot summer day - specifically Bastille Day in Nice, France, in the summer of 2022. It was the first fully open and traditionally celebrated Bastille Day since the tragic 2016 terrorist attack. Emotions ran high around the city. The blue umbrellas at the beach club really captured that sense of innocent summer fun and I stood there for a while before capturing the shot. What I love about this Image is that you see all these glimpses of people arms, legs, feet but never anyone’s face. It’s all about the atmosphere.

    Artist: Costa Christ

    Date Captured: July 2015

    Location: Greece

    Inspiration: "Thalassa," which means "ocean" in Greek, has a deeply personal backstory. It was taken in 2015 in Nafpaktos, Greece, during the week of my wedding to Jackie. We were on a ferry leaving town to pick up her family that had flow in, and I just captured the water rushing under the propellers. It was never meant to be part of any series, but it’s become one of my top sellers, especially on Porsche hoods.

    Inspiration: "One Fire" was taken in Praiano, Italy. While everyone else was dancing during the beach club’s famous "melon time," I quietly captured a peaceful moment as the afternoon unfolded. It’s an Image that turned from a personal snapshot into another top seller.

    Life, Love and Experience, Myths and Legends Collection 2025: Inspired by the sweeping grandeur of classical mythology, I wanted to reimagine these eternal stories through my underwater lens, where bodies swirl in motion like oil paint on a tempestuous sea. Photographed underwater at night, my works inhabit a realm where darkness and light converge where myth and reality intertwine. Beneath the surface, movement slows, gestures expand, and the boundaries between the physical and the spiritual begin to dissolve.
