256gb is Yung Lean’s first book, tracing the artist’s evolution and continual reinvention. Yung Lean has generated a mass following as a cult icon. Poised between influence and infamy, his outsider status emerged from the internet-based culture of the early 2010s, characterised by its vaporwave aesthetic of nostalgia, surrealism and melancholia.
Collating 574 images shot across iPhone’s 6, 8, X & SE, the book exemplifies Yung Lean’s autonomous artistic production. Intimate, extemporary images stored in a personal photo library are reformulated into a classical book form. Produced in Italy, the book’s material construction draws upon the 500-year-old tradition of bible-making of Legatoria Industriale Artigianale’s premises in Cava de’ Tirreni. Each copy of the book is accompanied by a silver sticker sheet as a token of viral ephemera provoking the book’s classical endurance.
