Things I looked at on eBay Today, Volume 1
£17.00
A project by Annie Collinge
Edited & designed by Claire Huss
Things I Looked at on eBay Today is a publication about strange and unusual objects found for sale on eBay during lockdown (between March and June 2020). This bewildering artist book is a collaboration between photographer Annie Collinge and art director Claire Huss. It showcases a selection of 56 screenshots carefully chosen by Huss amongst the collection of objects that drew Collinge’s attention. The format of the publication and the yellow spiral binding at the top are a nod to the mobile phone, and the way we scroll through images.
