I Search For You Still is a photo book collaboration between Melbourne-based photographer Dominic Xavier and graphic designer Yarron Frauenfelder. The book showcases photographs from the often misunderstood Middle Eastern nation of Iran, focusing on the beauty of the daily rituals in which its culture protects. An accompanying poem by Kaveh Akbari explores what it means to be a part of the Persian diaspora.
The cover is bound by a linen cloth with foiled type, to bring tactility to the reading experience. A loose and detached typographic structure alludes to a sense of wandering and discovery, mimicking the narrative sequence of the photographs. The book is set in Gza.
240×310 mm, linen hardcover, 92 pages, first edition of 150.
