Picture Summer on Kodak Film is a brilliant and evocative photography monograph by the American conceptualist Jason Fulford. Published by MACK, the book gathers a decade of color photography captured during Fulford’s travels across North America, Europe, and Asia. Eschewing a traditional travelogue format, Fulford uses the “visual rhyme” to create a sensory experience of summer—one filled with bright light, vibrant colors, and a sense of quiet wonder. The book explores the materiality of film and the way a specific brand of stock can shape our collective memory of a season. Through 144 pages of silent imagery, it invites the viewer to slow down and find the poetic, often surreal, beauty hidden within the sun-drenched mundane.
