Karlin in Bed

Using daily photographs that document the required time that the author must spend with her feet elevated, Karlin in Bed speaks to the invisibility of older adults through a frank and humorous look at the realities of age. While laying in bed one day, Karlin began to read My Life in Book Art, by Richard Minsky. When she got to a chapter featuring his 1988 artist’s book titled Minsky in Bed, inspiration struck. Minsky in Bed is described as an “autobiographical excursion,” which Karlin takes as a euphemism for his adventures in bed with various women in his life. Karlin’s book, loosely inspired by Minsky’s, is a photographic retelling of her own adventures in bed.
