"In the artist book 'Yard', Christopher WOOL blends photos of chaotic backyard camps with dusty streets, of Texan desert land with found, sculpture-like everyday life.
Two realities interpenetrate each other, and their temporal planes interleave into an artistic reality beyond the moment captured by the artist's camera.
The images convey the story of their own creation and sound with the sound that we know from WOOL's black and white paintings.
As with these, he also uses his own works here: The photographs that provide the starting material for Yard, are artist books 'Road' and 'Westtexaspsychosculpture'." (freely translated publisher note, © Holzwarth, 2018)
