In & Out is a collaboration between Robert Gardner and Fanny Howe. In 1981, while filming Ika Hands, Gardner shot a series of 87 Polaroids (one every twenty seconds) that captured the activity in the doorway of an Ika dwelling. In 2009, the images were given to Fanny Howe, who shuffled them, and wrote short poems that weave the images together in a new way.
The inside of the book jacket displays a grid of all 87 images in chronological order. We also created patterns inspired by the Ika mochilas which are used to carry and trade cacao, a reoccurring element in the film.
