Hey, I trying to decide which pieces to put in my book and on my site.
I want to have a few fresh pieces for someone to look at during an interview, but I don't want my site to suffer by leaving out good work. Most people will use your site to decide on seeing you in the first place...
I have a young body of work,( not enough strong pieces to make two piles), so do you think it is okay to show the same work both places?

It is fine to show the same work. Interviewers will not remember everything from your site and may want to discuss things from that once they see it in your book.
Think of your site as a "preview" and think of your book as your life and you just get to show them EVERYTHING. But keep it concise too. So manage the oxymoron.

I have heard from a few people, including teachers in school, that to keep it interesting, you should have a few new things in the book.
I mean, I've been hired when I showed the same work in both places, just looking to fine tune things.

to me it sounds quite mad to have two separate bodies of work
- every presentation i made with projection plus giving the client a print version confirmed that it's good to have both.invisiblechamber
- projection as in projecting the work on the wall 'kind of thing'?menos

you could also have the same work in both but only put the best of the best stuff in the book. so both would be covered.

how did the projection presentation work out invisiblechamber?
Always been curious about that. I would guess it all depends on the personality of the interviewer.
