About No More No Less
No More No Less is a collaboration between Koike’s genius vision and Sauvin’s incredible archive of Chinese images and documents that he rescued from a recycling plan in the outskirts of Beijing. The resulting images are grounded in Koikes signature style, but the sharpness of the gelatin silver prints cues a more geometric approach to each piece. The new images appear as optical illusions and fragmented expressions. Once this project had taken a life of its own, Sauvin and Koike gave three different publishers free reign to do whatever they wanted with the material, as long as they followed only two rules: 400 copies and no contact bout their concept or design.
