I Did Fuji
Emilie Harrak
The book explores the idea of owning the experience of visiting
a place through the photographic image.

The book presents a leporello (popular with the late Victorians) showing an impossible landscape, a vertical panorama, made
up from postcards (the most populist way of marking an
achieved journey through an image).

The impossibility of the landscape reflects the impossibility of capturing the physical experience of being in a place, the act
of looking and actively connecting with an environment.

It is also inspired by Hokusai’s 100 views of Mount Fuji.
