Side by Side is the 2012 reissue of the first of Gilbert & George's 'living sculpture' books which first appeared in 1971. Writing to address the reader, they write; "We beg you not to criticise this, our work, as this could only result in unhapiness for both the reader and ourselves. And so, we leave you now with this, our simple book".
