Synopsis
Initially conceived as a personal project on the walls of Sorrenti's New York loft, the material in Draw Blood for Proof eventually found its way onto gallery walls as a large-scale installation piece in 2004. Papering the site from floor to ceiling with layers of collected snapshots, contact sheets, prints, Polaroids and ephemera drawn from over 15 years of work, Sorrenti's collection was a unique look into the artist's diaristic creative process, going beyond ideas of public and private production. Re-photographed as a series of 8x10 Polaroids and reconstituted here, Sorrenti's montage finds yet another incarnation in book form. Here the images are both documentation and personal exploration, and the layout repositions Sorrenti's photographs in a series faithful to their placement on the walls of the gallery. This gives the viewer a sense of the impact of the original installation but also creates new visual relationships between images as they move across spreads, redefining themselves and one another on the pages. Images obscured in one layout may appear fully and with renewed force on the next. The result is a free-associative experience like memory or dreams, rooted in Sorrenti's methods but drawing on his cache of personal associations, and the act of perception becomes part of the work.

Folio. pp. 336. . Perfetto (Mint). . Prima edizione (First Edition). . "Inizialmente concepito come un progetto personale sulle pareti del loft newyorkese di Sorrenti, il materiale in Draw Blood for Proof alla fine ha trovato la sua strada sulle pareti della galleria come un'installazione su larga scala nel 2004.La collezione di Sorrenti č stata uno sguardo unico nel processo creativo diaristico dell'artista, andando oltre le idee di produzione pubblica e privata. Rifotografato come una serie di Polaroid 8x10 e qui ricostituito, il montaggio di Sorrenti trova un'altra incarnazione in forma di libro. Qui le immagini sono insieme documentazione ed esplorazione personale, e l'impaginazione riposiziona le fotografie di Sorrenti in una serie fedele alla loro collocazione sulle pareti della galleria".
