“Weeping” is an artist’s book by Panayiotis Terzis, published in 2010 by Mega Press as part of the “After Modern History” series.

The publication features a curated selection of newspaper clippings from the “New York Times” and the “Wall Street Journal” that specifically depict people crying. Using Risograph printing, Terzis transforms these journalistic images into high-contrast compositions with a coarse screen pattern. The use of vivid spot colors such as deep blue and violet lends the original black-and-white press photos an artificial, almost sacred intensity.

The book explores the commercialization of grief in the mass media. The characteristic texture of the Risograph process and the striking “WEEPING” typography emphasize the tactile nature of the publication, thereby contrasting it with the transience of daily news. This book, which is typically published as a limited, handmade edition, remains a prime example of how the print culture of the early 2010s bridged the gap between social commentary and experimental aesthetics.
