Group Effort is an experimental publication produced by Sean Suchara and published by Brooklyn based publisher TXTbooks. Rebounding off of Gaston Bachelard’s "The Poetics of Space", Group Effort seeks to explore the phenomenology of books, their architecture, and our relationships to them through the words of Artists and Writers throughout history. Corresponding illustrations establish a conversation between text and image on the page wherein the reader is invited to be the third voice in the discussion. We live in books, their covers are the walls that keep us safe, the words are furniture that shapes the space, the bibliography and footnotes are the exposed foundation in the basement, and images are the corners we daydream into.
