As part of Ann Hamilton’s O N E E V E R Y O N E series, she created these freely circulating newspapers to explore issues that were central to her project, such as touch, empathy, and seeing and being seen. The discussions of these issues are paired with images.
Hamilton states:
“The O N E E V E R Y O N E series began when a chemist placed a skin-like film into my hand with a note: ‘I think you will find this interesting.’ I did. Its soft rubber-like membrane was thin but extremely tough. I was immediately captured by this paradox, as well as the optical quality of its milky surface rendering only what touches it—in this case, my fingertips—in focus while obscuring everything else…The way it makes touch visible seemed magic to me.”
