A NOT B

A NOT B was published and designed by Julia Born. The book showcases a selection of still-life photographs of various collections of domestic objects. Alternating art historical references and optical illusions with ‘spot-the-difference’ puzzles, the images display Eisenreich’s distinctive play on logic and common sense. As a rule, Eisenreich solely works with everyday objects that can be found in any given living room or kitchen – eggs, matches, paper, ladybugs – that have no functional relationship whatsoever. However, the objects are organized in a way that seems ‘logically’ cohesive. The depicted scenes are carefully photographed from an exact angle, the click of the camera their long awaited moment of release. Short captions accompany the photographs. To go along with a bruised peach and a deflated football: ‘What did the football say to the peach?’. A title that reads like a typical what-did-the-so-and-so-say-to-the-so-and-so gag.
