The Heart is a Sandwich is a profound and visually rhythmic monograph by American conceptualist Jason Fulford. Published by MACK, the book represents a significant shift in Fulford’s practice, weaving together a decade of color photography captured in Italy, Japan, and America. Moving through 320 pages of atmospheric sequences, the work acts as a fictionalized diary that elevates the mundane—oil stains, domestic interiors, and fleeting street encounters—into a sophisticated study of human connection. The “sandwich” of the title serves as a metaphor for the book’s structure: a dense, layered accumulation of observations that reveal the hidden, often surreal, beauty found between the bread of everyday life.
