cyriaco lopes & terri witek & rusty witek

we photographed book pages that matched the current date in and around the library of the atlantic center for the arts. we each picked one page number in 10 books: pages 1 for january, pages 11 for the day, pages 17 for the year. we did not know what books each picked. the resulting triptychs, which are arranged in the u.s. fashion of month-day-year, are the result of chance and choice.
