Announcing the publication of the book about a Ten-Day Capsule Relationship portrayed in photography and writing by Ellie Brown and Zach Webber. Artist Ellie Brown and writer Zach Webber engaged in a ten-day capsule relationship that began with a meeting, went through the stages of love, marriage, pregnancy and ended in divorce.

The projected, conceived by Webber and documented photographically by Brown, is exploring and questioning socialized norms in the realm of coupling off in adult life. Neither party feels that he or she fits into this role of social expectancy it seemed fitting to try out a normative relationship conceptually. The grit and emotional complexity of the project entered when the conceptual couple fell into a real relationship, due mostly to the scripted relationship. They fell into the very thing that they were looking at critically. The appeal of the project is the crossover and tension between the real and conceptual.

Brown is looking for publishers for a final version of the book along with art venues to show photographic and audio documentation of the project that coincide with each project day.

If there is any interest in publishing or exhibition opportunities, please contact Ellie Brown.
