As part of this inaugural commission, French-artist Sylvain Couzinet-Jacques purchased a small, historical schoolhouse in Eden, North Carolina, intending it as a site for the exploration of ideas of property, ownership, and image-making.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne of his first activities was to scan the entire exterior of the house, resulting in more than 1,000 scans reproduced in these pages.
