Volume 16 of Errata Editions' "Books on Books" series includes "Drum," a collection of works by Danish photographer Klas Clement (1946-). Clement is known as one of the leading figures in Nordic photography, quietly capturing the atmosphere of travel, movement, solitude, and the nighttime city and bar scene in grainy monochrome. He is also an artist who has always valued the photobook format itself, with a road-movie-like sensibility reminiscent of Wenders films and sequences with literary undertones. "Drum," the core of this book, is Clement's masterpiece published in 1996, a legendary collection of works shot in just one night and a few rolls of film in a pub in the small Irish town of Drum. Beginning with the town at dusk as fog descends, the collection follows men gathering in the bar after work, and eventually the gaze converges on the figure of an old man, creating a dense sense of time, much like a film. "Drum," which captures both the warmth of a community and the loneliness and alienation that spills out from it, is highly regarded as an important work in the history of contemporary photobooks. This book includes all pages of that rare work and re-examines the appeal of the photobook medium itself.
