The series, “No More No Less”, born from the encounter between Koike and Sauvin. Silver prints made from the album’s original negatives from the collection of Sauvin, were then submitted to Koike’s sharp imagination, who, with a simple blade and adhesive tape, deconstructs and reinvents the images. Since the collaboration resulted in such interesting output, it was difficult to accept the idea that No More No Less should end with Koike’s completion of the final piece.
Koike and Sauvin decided to make not one, but multiple publications. In mid-February 2018, they reached out to Italian publisher Skinnerboox, French publisher the(M) éditions, and Chinese publisher Jiazazhi Press, sending them files of Koike’s completed prints, as well as scans of the original album. Providing them with no information besides these visuals, the duo gave all three publishers free reign to do whatever they wanted with the material. There were only two rules: 400 copies had to be ready for the beginning of November 2018, and the publishers could not contact Sauvin or Koike about their concept or design.
Nine months later, Sauvin and Koike arrived at Polycopies during this year’s Paris Photo for the grand unveiling of the three books. To their excitement, all three publishers had created phenomenal objects, each one incredibly distinct from the next. The grand reveal was a testament to the importance of collaboration, and to the potential of trust and confidence in joining creative forces.

《不多不少》系列源于苏文与小池的相遇。从苏文收藏的原始底片相册里洗出来的照片，被小池以敏锐的想像力，使用简单的小刀和胶带解构并重塑。不过，这些纯粹的手工介入都遵守着一条规则: 不删除任何内容, 不添加任何内容，即“不多，不少”。 合作造就了如此有趣的成果，故而很难接受《不多不少》项目仅以小池完成的作品而告终。
小池和苏文打算不只制作一本，而是做出多本出版物。"我们想要一个意大利的出版商，因为 小池在意大利; 一个法国的出版商，因为我在法国; 还有一个中国的出版商, 因为原材料来自中国。" 苏文解释说。2018年2月中旬，他们联系了意大利出版社Skinnerboox、法国出版社 the(M) éditions 和中国的假杂志出版社，将小池完成的作品以及原相册里的扫描件发给了三家出版社。除了这些影像资料之外，二人没有提供任何其他信息，任凭三家出版社自由地处理这 些材料。仅有两个规则: 400份副本必须在11月初准备好; 出版社不能联系苏文或小池讨论他们的概念和设计。
九个月后，2018年11月7日，苏文和小池在当年的巴黎摄影展期间来到Polycopies 参加了 三本书的盛大揭幕仪式。令他们兴奋的是，三家出版社都创造出了非凡的杰作，每一本都与众不同得令人难以置信。盛大的揭幕仪式见证了合作的重要性，也见证了信任和信心在联合创作中的潜力。
