Anno Domini presents...
BLOODWORK: BODIES exhibition and book release by
Analog Tattoo Arts Kolectiv (CA)
Anno Domini is proud to present the third and final installment of the tattoo arts documentation project by the global tattoo community of the Anaglog Tattoo Arts Kolectiv.
In 2008 San Jose tattoo artist/producer adrian Lee and photographer Max Dolberg released FULL COVERAGE, an exhibition and book that covered the work of 33 back pieces by 8 tattooers over a 2 year span. In 2009 Lee and Dolberg furthered the project with the release of BLOODWORK: SLEEVES. An exhibition and book which offered a unique and singular view of the sleeve that had not yet (nor since) been put forth.
BLOODWORK: BODIES is yet again an unprecedented, artistic and historic project 4 years in the making by 53 tattooers completing 119 backpieces & bodysuits from 5 continents presented in 360˚ interactive views. A 360˚ concept was developed in response to a common issue when viewing a photographed tattoo. That is, alone a photo often struggles to capture the fourdimensional aspects of large scale tattooing. “It looks amazing but I wish I could see it in person,” is a common phrase spoken by tattooers, who often are not visually satisfied until they can physically move around or handle the tattoo being observed. It’s a true statement from any sincere connoisseur. One really does need to follow the flow around and into the multi-dimensional aspects of a tattoo to completely understand what the tattooer is trying to convey.
In response to this desire to visually move around a large tattoo Analog sought, and accomplished, to manifest the 360˚ rotation. The 360˚ images are intended to compliment the project and allow for a deeper appreciation of each tattoo. Taken as a whole, the two volume book of exquisite photos and accompanying 360˚ library make for an invaluable reference tool for both tattooers and collectors of this and future generations. Each copy of BLOODWORK: BODIES comes with a code that will grant the owner access to the vast 360˚ galleries. Once logged into the 360˚ galleries, the holder will have unrestricted access to the entire 360˚ rotation reference library. Here the viewer will be able to see the BLOODWORK: BODIES contributions from any angle on a rotating axis.
