Krass Clement: Drum

Krass 'Clement's Drum', photographed in an Irish pub on a single evening with only three and a half rolls of film, is now considered one of the most important contributions to the contemporary Danish photobook. Revolving around one principal character — a hunched, weather beaten old man who sits alone with his drink, 'Drum' comments on community, the outsider, alienation and the terrors of being alone. Books on Books #16 presents every page spread from Clement's masterwork with an essay by the photo historian Rune Gade.
