Thickness is built on a fixed visual procedure applied to stacks of printed pages.
I photograph a horizontal section taken from the compressed edge of bound or accumulated paper, always under the same conditions.

I do not correct irregularities or try to normalise the material. Variations in density, alignment, and wear are left intact.
The work is not concerned with what the pages contain or with reading as an activity. What remains is a physical measure: thickness, compression, stratification.
Each image is one instance within a closed system. Meaning does not lie in a single photograph, but in repetition and comparison across the series.
