015 – Summer Wagner

Softcover with card wraparound cover paperback English 48 pages 21 × 16

Description

Summer Wagner’s *015* is the fifteenth title in Setanta Books’ ongoing bi-monthly series devoted to emerging photographers. The series has previously featured artists including Luka Khabelashvili, Margaret Durow, and Teresa Freitas, placing Wagner’s volume within a sustained publishing project rather than presenting it as an isolated debut.

The book is a 48-page softcover with a card wraparound cover, measuring 21 cm × 16 cm and issued in an edition of 350 copies. Its compact format suits an intimate, page-by-page encounter with the photographs. According to the publisher, the series appears every two months and focuses on new and emerging photographic work.

In the artist’s statement quoted by the publisher, Wagner describes much of her work as “a body of visual poems contemplating the way in which we experience consciousness, both linearly and all at once.” She contrasts the linear experience of individuals moving forward through time with the collective building of a vast network of information. The statement also refers to projecting egos onto social platforms such as Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok, and to images and events—such as a 2012 picture and the question of where Kony is—that persist and loop online. These ideas frame the book around memory, selfhood, and networked attention.

The publisher’s listing does not describe the individual photographs or their sequence, so the visual content can only be characterized through Wagner’s statement and the book’s physical format. What is documented is the edition size, page count, binding, and dimensions, along with the series context. For readers interested in contemporary photography and in early-career artists whose work circulates widely online, *015* offers a concise, carefully produced print object. Its limited run of 350 copies makes it a modest but distinct addition to the series.
