Krass Clement’s Drum, photographed in an Irish pub on a single evening with only three and a half rolls of film, is now considered one of the most important contributions to the contemporary Danish photobook. Revolving around one principal character – a hunched, weather beaten old man who sits alone with his drink, Drum comments on community, the outsider, alienation and the terrors of being alone. Books on Books #16 presents every page spread from Clement’s masterwork with an essay by the photo historian Rune Gade called Halting, Without Halting: On Krass Clement’s Photobook Drum. The photographs were shot in 1991 on his visit to Ireland, where he stayed in Monaghan and travelled to Dublin often. Drum’s photographs were shot specifically at a pub in Drum in County Monaghan where the artist was doing a residency at the Tyrone Guthrie Centre.
