U.K. Photographer Ritualizes Famous Reggae Album Covers

Alex Bartsch's project is coming to Art Basel Miami Beach and a bookstore near you.

This is such a fun idea.

Alex Bartsch, a photographer based in London, has for the past few years retraced the locales used around his city for famous reggae album covers shot in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. At each location, he holds up and photographs the cover in a way that superimposes, most often seamlessly, with the original shooting location.

Bartsch plans to share some of this work at December’s Art Basel Miami Beach as well as turn the collection of reggae artifacts, with notes, into a book to be published around June 2017.
