Abandoned Chairs is a 64-page book containing 60 full colour photographs of abandoned chairs from around the world. This is the culmination of an open submission photography project organised by artist Paul Kuzemczak. The first set of photographs in the book where selected from the submissions, which resulted in 300 entries from across the world, with over 750 photographs being submitted. A selection panel chose the work of 39 artists to show alongside Kuzemczak’s images (the second set of photographs in the book). The images document traces left by people’s interactions with chairs, either intentional or not. The works capture the humanity of ordinary everyday scenes that where chosen for their immediacy and humour.

There is an introductory essay written by the artist and curator Kaavous Clayton.
