Published at the very end of 2017, it is a compendium of the first 138 (more or less) installations. Presenting them first visually and then in text only form--and for the first time in story order. There will be numerous events around this release in 2018--watch the events section.
There have been other Kcymaerxthaere books, including two travel guides. Volume 4 concerns what we would call linear Europe. Volume 6 concerned sites in the linear US.
Demetrios' best known book is An Eames Primer, a thematic biography of legendary designers Charles and Ray Eames (who were also his grandparents), which is now into its 2nd edition and multiple printings.
His work is in a number of private collections and that of University of Georgia. His film and video works have shown at numerous museums and festivals: Library of Congress, Gulbenkian (Portugal), Smithsonian Institution, MOCA (LA), LACMA (LA), Meguro Art Museum (Tokyo), Film Forum (LA), Sundance Film Festival, Cairo Film Festival, and dozens more.
Demetrios has worn a number of different hats since graduating from Harvard, including multimedia work, consulting, exhibition design, and his ongoing role as director of the Eames Office.
In addition to his 10 books, Demetrios has contributed to many more and gives talks internationally (in 50 countries spanning 6 continents). He has made over 70 films and videos of various lengths over the past 30 years or so. Themes and topics include a fiction feature on homelessness, a documentary on Sambo Mockbee’s Rural Studio, and the Malibu/Old Topanga Fire.
