Thank you all for coming, it was cool.
We and Erik (thank you too, Erik, you are a legend) are really happy with your support.

The exhibition ERIK KESSELS, AS FAR YOU AS YOU CAN SEE will remain open until July 15.

For those who missed it:
COMMERCE presents As Far as You Can See, the first comprehensive collection of all the books created by Erik Kessels from 1997 to today, culminating with the latest publication Incomplete Encyclopedia Of Touch. A visual journey through more than two decades of artistic, editorial, and photographic research. Erik Kessels is internationally recognized for his work in vernacular photography, visual appropriation, and storytelling through printed images. As Far as You Can See is much more than a simple catalog: it is a map of his vision, an overview of the human, the everyday, and the absurd, composed book by book.

As Far as You Can See is a new chapter of BIBLIOGRAPHY, a set of displays showcasing the work of all publishing players through the presentation of their editorial artefacts to date.

As Far as You Can See is also the first editorial off-set printed project curated by Commerce.

BOOK LAUNCH
PAOLO ZERBINI
FLORIDAYS

12.06.25 H18.30

Floridays is a multifaceted portrait of a synthetic society, gleaming and hyperreal on the surface, twitching with distortion underneath. It shines with a kind of nervous confidence, like something trying too hard not to break. Paolo draws from the overloaded aesthetic of the ’90s to depict a world deafened by its own shrillness, numbed by its own bad taste.Graphically, the book leans into repetition. The same subjects recur throughout, shifting slightly with each appearance, performing, glitching, multiplying across the spreads. Identity becomes a loop, not a line. Floridays is both love letter and critique, a chrome-plated guilty pleasure, polished, packaged, and unapologetically supersized.
