Participation is the first monograph by Jordan Weitzman
It was initially edited by Jason Fulford.
Louis Fratino made the drawing for the cover.
It has 38 color photographs.
Jordan, at the time of publishing, is also 38.
The pictures were made between 2017 and 2021, with the exception of one taken in 2012.
The pictures are of people, places, and things.
The compositions are strange and the colors are bright.
The pictures were shot inside, and also outside.
There is no essay in the book.
And while this is not the essay for the book, Weitzman did have this to say:
“I was obsessed with the idea of transformation. In the sense of how a very simple, everyday thing, by way of gesture, combination or layering, could create a new and mysterious meaning. Like when someone turns a certain way, and their limbs form a figure-eight, or the way two rocks gently hold a hard shadow.”
