"Chess Grand Masters"

This book is a comprehensive archival project that documents every chess grandmaster from 1950 to 2023. Drawing from one of Wikipedia’s longest and most data dense pages, the work systematically lists each player’s name, birth and death dates, place of birth, gender, and related details. By translating an overwhelming digital database into a printed, structured format, the book emphasizes scale, repetition, and the labor of documentation. The project explores how information, authority, and history are constructed through accumulation rather than narrative.
