Perfect bound photo book by Joshua Berg (Covington KY) and Mark Albain.

Mark Albain and Joshua Berg present Digressions a book that weaves through an unspecific space that unfolds through experiences, relationships, and histories growing up and living in the Midwest. Anchored in the liminal, Digressions is structured around written correspondence and recorded conversations between Berg and Albain (as well as friends, family, and colleagues).

It reveals the intricate and interwoven nature of day-to-day domestic life. Rooted in the personal and familial spheres, these voices delve into the mundane yet profound aspects that contribute to a broader understanding of the Midwest. This attempt at documentation encapsulates moments of transition, uncertainty, and the in-between, mirroring the essence of the unspecific yet deeply personal space that shapes the lives of those who call the Midwest home.

Joshua Berg (b.1991) is a photographer based in Covington, Kentucky, at the Ohio and Licking Rivers confluence. In a place bound by the rhythm of two rivers, Joshua’s work is centered on boundaries of thought and its relationship to landscape. His books (Tall as the Grass is Blue and Basin in the Shade) explore the impossibility of untethering body, place, and the endless dialogue of unraveling the actual.
