EYE-D is a photobook by Anna Gabriel (Peter Gabriel's daughter).
Published in Italy by Rizzoli Lizard on 19 October, the book features Anna’s close-up eye pictures of a host of well known names, including David Byrne, Helena Christensen, Willem Defoe, The Edge, Noel Gallagher, Annie Lennox, Susan Sarandon, Benjamin Zephaniah, Peter Gabriel and many more.
"To photograph an eye is to see into another world, a deeper emotional world. These photographs are like small windows into houses that we pass every day but never look inside.
In a time where people are looking at screens and experiencing less eye contact with each other, I am happy to put out this book that takes a deeper look into the eyes of these famous faces.” - Anna Gabriel.
You can order the book at amazon-uk. More info is available on the book's website.
As part of the promotion, Anna and Peter Gabriel are currently in Milan. Yesterday there was a private event with about 30 people at Fondazione Sozzani, where some photos were taken. The book was signed (Peter did not sign any CDs etc), a few photos were taken but there was no round of talks. Peter was very relaxed though and posed for photos as well. You can see some of these photos in this news item (see below).
Today they continue with the sold out public event at Santeria. This is to be held in English and most likely, there will also be some sort of press conference by Anna and Peter. About 100 guests are expected to attend. Info about the public event will be added here tomorrow.
