Gordon Matta-Clark, best known for his large-scale installations and architectural interventions, created the book "Walls Paper" after his 1972 work of the same name. After photographing the interiors of derelict and partially demolished tenement buildings on New York’s Lower East Side and the Bronx, he printed his photographs on long strips of newsprint and installed them at 112 Greene Street in New York City. That installation, much like the buildings in the photographs, eventually fell to pieces and was destroyed. The design of the "Walls Paper" book underscores the fleeting and ever-changing nature of cities; the independent maneuverability of the upper and lower halves of the book allows the reader to flip through the pages, changing the urban landscape at will.
