“Back in 2015 the Richard Prince 1234 Instagram account was a new daily dope. Richard Prince had just shown his « New Portraits series » at Gagosian New-York and started his new account @richardprince1234 on Instagram. As its content was ephemeral, I was missing all of his posts, so i got this idea of setting up some automatic recordings. Two years passed away then the account shut down. I suddenly realized I had recorded a historical concert, a _free concert _ played by Richard Prince himself. Time has come for an analog conversion and restitution of these 2 years of recordings : 2664 posts gathered into 12 chronological books of 48 pages, each one housed in a record sleeve. These are the Richard Prince 1234 / Instagram recordings.” - Sebastien Girard
