This project is a direct translation of an essay film, Lost Book Found by Jem Cohen, into a book: a typo-translation, as Andrew Lister called it.

Fully transcribed and containing every image of the entire film, this book tries to achieve the following: to invite the viewer into a retrospection about the notion of flanerie.

The book contains two different narratives that crossover each other. One narrative deals with Jem Cohen, who is a flaneur himself wandering around the streets of New York in this film; the other deals with other flanuers throughout the history. Guy Debord, Charles Baudelaire, Walter Benjamin, Robert Brownjohn, Eugene Atget […] and many more are included in this parallel visual narrative.
