Fjord is a multilayered compilation of works by Baronina in which the originals are mixed with reproductions of other projects that are intertwined and reproduced in various media. The book comprises several chapters, and through them the reader makes a symbolic journey through the elements of air, earth, and water.
Fjord is a hotel in Montenegro that has been abandoned. The building, like the geographical feature which gives it its name, has become a formative metaphor for the visual narrative constructed by the artist.
Each page of the book is made of several layers of paper and card stuck together, with reproductions of Baronina’s works glued on top. The pages are arranged within the cover of a volume of Gogol’s collected works published in 1956.
The book was created as part of the Garage Library project Single Copy.
