Same Sum, a new photobook by Peter Happel Christian, playfully explores observation, chance, and the everyday magic of ordinary life.
The included photographs are part of an ongoing, expansive project of the same name that began as intentional exercises in observation. The result is a vast collection of subjects and situationsâsome found, others constructedâthat occur in parallel to Happel Christianâs daily life. The title takes inspiration from an Italo Calvino essay wherein experience is fluid and meanings are flexibleâthat within the finite is an infinite. Similarly, the images in Same Sum have no fixed sequence, allowing for the possibility of seemingly endless experiences of the same images.
The bookâs interactive design is inspired by card games and magic tricks; the double coil bound format creates two decks of photographs to riffle shuffle, creating a unique set of image combinations determined by chance with each read.
