The Altogether
The Altogether is the latest book by Chris Coekin. The photographs were produced in a factory that began manufacturing copper wire in 1834. Unfortunately, the factory recently closed and the entire workforce was made redundant. The Altogether is a multi-layered project that investigates the notions of art, work and struggle.

The photographs are reproduced on hand-folded gatefold pages running concurrently through the book including a text written by Coekin. The cover illustration is foil printed and embossed onto cloth, these processes pay homage to the craftsman.

The Hitcher
Like a latter-day beatnik, Chris Coekin has been hitchhiking around the United Kingdom off and on for the past six years. Using a cheap compact camera to produce snapshot aesthetic images as unpredictable as his journey – and a medium format camera for his driver portraits – Coekin has captured his adventures, the landscapes and the people he has encountered. The layout of the book interweaves Coekin’s images along with hand written text and his travel ephemera.
