Melbourne : Anajah Press, 2016. Quarto, lettered silver felt cover, pp. [72], illustrated. An artist’s book by Melbourne creator Theo Strasser, limited to 30 numbered and signed copies.

“‘Today’ is an artist book with an ambiguous silver cover, that denies its appearance as a metallic object, as it is skin smooth, with a soft under cover of felt. Today lies in the present time but borders the past with the future. The present time lies inside the book, it is continuously contemporary. This is an abstract discourse on our perception of the present time. All the pages are art works that have been scanned on two different grades of paper, that reference the format of newspapers. This is a book that crosses a zine with a newspaper. A transient book of fleeting visions….”  – Artist’s statement.

Held in three Australian collections (NLA, SLV, University of Melbourne) as well as the Bibliotheca Librorum apud Artificem.
