A monograph by American photographer David Gilbert. Set within an unoccupied studio, his photographs—composed from everyday objects and materials—emerge like “empty portraits” that quietly suggest a human presence. Even without following the text, simply turning the pages reveals a subtle and unfolding narrative. The way familiar things begin to softly glow makes this book approachable even for those who don’t usually read.

David Gilbert creates quietly staged scenes in his studio using everyday materials and objects. Though no people appear in his photographs, they evoke a distinct sense of presence and inner life. While grounded in photography, his work also suggests elements of drawing and sculpture, offering new perspectives on the ordinary and gently inviting the viewer’s imagination.
