The photographs in Stephen Gill’s “The Pillar” encounter birds on their own terms.

One of Gill’s most complicated books was 44 Photographs – Trinidad, published last year. The entire book was manufactured and assembled by hand over a period of four weeks by a small production line of friends in his studio. The edition of 115 copies involved Gill and his team deconstructing a stack of vintage 1964 paperbacks he had found and hand-writing the title page, as well as several other individual processes including letter-pressing and assembling the photographic prints into handmade pockets within the book. It is a work of art in itself.
