Since 2014 Hans Gremmen has been picking up abandoned playing cards from the streets, hoping to once complete a deck. He followed two simple rules: 1. only single cards can be taken / 2. if there are more cards from the same deck on the street: only take the first card I see + (if there are any) the Jokers. The cards where found during walks in: Amsterdam, Utrecht, London, Sankt Johann, New York, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Venice, Lille, Paris, Heelsum, Arnhem, Rotterdam, Uden, Landskrona. In ‘The Incomplete Deck’ Gremmen shows in a playfull way the history of playing card design. This zine is a postscript to pages 77 and 147-150 of the publication In Between, and Incomplete Index (2001-2026). Each book contains a random playcard.
