Sliver brings together photographs by Boris Snauwaert made in natural landscapes, urban environments and the overlooked transitional spaces at the edges of cities. Published by Fw:Books in 2026, the project asks readers to attend to the relationships between photographs. Its subject is not confined to a single kind of place: the publisher describes images that resist fixed definitions and invite more than one reading.
The book places particular emphasis on what happens when one image meets another. A photograph can change the way its neighbour is understood, bringing different qualities of weight, scale and texture into view. In the publisher’s account, these relationships unsettle familiar hierarchies: something small can acquire a monumental presence, while something monumental can seem to lose its weight. The interest lies in following those changes across the sequence, rather than seeking a single explanation for every picture.
This English-language hardcover contains 52 pages and measures 24 by 31.5 centimetres. It is available with four different cover colours, which the publisher distributes randomly. Fw:Books describes each colour as establishing a different visual and emotional tone. The colour variations provide different appearances for the same publication. They sit alongside the project’s stated interest in how visual relationships can affect the reading of photographs.
For a reader interested in photographic editing, Sliver offers a focused way to consider how meaning develops between images. Its emphasis on proximity and comparison encourages a patient approach: looking at a photograph, moving to the next, and reconsidering the relationship between them. The publisher’s description leaves room for interpretation while identifying the visual qualities around which that looking can take shape.
