Earlier this week, Yung Lean revealed the imminent release of his first book. Entitled 256 GB, the book compiles, you guessed it, 256 gigabytes of content from Lean’s iPhone hard drive from 2014 through 2024 – selfies, screenshots, notes, and other candid images included.
Totalling 574 images (and 594 pages from front to back), the book is divided into nine color-coded chapters, with each spanning about 50 or so pages: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink, black, and white.
Housed in a black bound casing complete with red embossed lettering and a matching silk ribbon, the book opens with a title page, on which Lean lists the different iPhone models he shot the contents of 256 GB on: 6, 8, X, and SE. The next page lists out the chapters in order, followed by an entire table of contents of each image included in the book; titles include “F*ck You,” “Holy Trinity,” “Air Jordan 12” and “Boy life in EU.”
To close out, Lean leaves a note that reads: “I buy a lot of phones and lose a lot of phones. I spend more time in hotels than in the places I live in. It feels like collecting these photographs and memories. I hope it will be a bigger photograph of my life and maybe bring some inspiration and love to some. This is what I try to do.”
Take an exclusive closer look at some of the pages of 256 GB in the gallery above and get your hands on a copy while they’re still available at Lean’s worldaffairs website.
