David Benjamin Sherry's 'Pink Genesis' Artist Book Features Cameraless Photograms

David Benjamin Sherry's 'Pink Genesis' is a special artist's book that came out in 2022, showcasing twenty-nine unique large-scale color photograms made without a camera. There are only 750 signed copies available, marking the first full collection of Sherry's cameraless art. Drawing from influences like Josef Albers and Robert Rauschenberg, these darkroom pieces incorporate geometric designs along with the artist's own figure. The work, inspired by the 1971 film 'Pink Narcissus' by James Bidgood, explores themes of queer imagination. Lucy Gallun from MoMA contributes an essay about how Sherry uses his darkroom to investigate identity. The hardback book measures 11 x 14.5 x 0.75 inches and has ISBN 9781683952428. Sherry is known for his vivid analog photographs of Western landscapes and has exhibited at prominent venues like MoMA PS1 and is featured in major collections. The design was crafted by A2/SW/HK in London.
