Book Description
Combining fragments of personal history, of memory and imagination, 'Oobanken' builds photographic narratives through constructions and performances. The spaces created are different in character from their wider surroundings, as if confined in an enclave or compound, revealing an attentiveness to what lies beyond the threshold of this self-imposed isolation.00Made while living in Yangon, Myanmar, this series derives from Jerome Ming?s early interest in built structures and interventions. While 'Oobanken' may direct us to inquire about the function of objects and the actions presented, Ming?s photographs also mirror the context in which they are made: that is, during a time of transition, in a place once isolated, a place once suspended in time.

Author: Joanna Piotrowska
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781910164105
Category : Photography, Artistic
Languages : en
Pages : 48
Book Description
Joanna Piotrowska's uncomfortable album, a series of staged family shots, insists upon the fundamental anxiety at the heart of the family: its system of relationships, adamantine bonds that are equally oppressive and rewarding. Her images display intimate family scenes - cosily paired bodies, meeting and converging, in images which teeter on the verge of a dysfunctional moment. In one snapshot, two adult brothers lie together on a Persian carpet wearing only white briefs; in another, the black-clothed bodies of two embracing women merge, suggesting the atavistic overlap of mother and daughter. The title itself, which denotes a warm or stuffy atmosphere, captures the paradoxical nature of the family: frowsty spaces are both cosy and claustrophobic, intimate and airless. The images are carefully staged: Piotrowska asked her family subjects to pose in almost sculptural gestures, re-enacting moments of intimacy - repeating spontaneous instants of tenderness, in performances which are imbued with a plethora of new meanings. Influenced by the philosophy of the German psychotherapist Bert Hellinger, Piotrowska integrated movements and gestures from Hellinger's therapeutic method Family Constellations, which attempts to expose and heal multi-generational trauma. Her black-and-white images, intentionally nostalgic for lost moment of happiness, are shrewd observations of the tension of self that pervades every family dynamic - Provided by the publisher.

Book Description
12 Hz--the lowest sound threshold of human hearing--suggests imperceptible forces, from plate tectonics to the ocean tides, from cycles of growth and decay in the forest, to the incomprehensibility of geological spans of time. The photographs in Ron Jude's '12 Hz' allude to the ungraspable scale and veiled mechanics of these phenomena, while acknowledging a desire to gain a broader perspective, beyond the human enterprise, in a time of ecological and political crisis. '12 Hz' consists of images of lava tubes and flows, tidal currents, glacial ice and welded tuff formations: pictures describing the raw materials of the planet, those that make organic life possible. The images were made in multiple locations--from the high lava plains, gorges and caves in the state of Oregon, to the glaciers of Iceland and lava flows of Kilauea in Hawaii. Jude's photographs don't attempt to tell us how to live or what we've done wrong, nor do they reduce the landscape to something sentimental, tame and possessable. Rather, they endeavour to describe and reckon with forces in our physical world that operate independently of anthropocentric experience. The photographs in '12 Hz' work in service to a simple premise: that change is constant, whether we are able to perceive it or not. By stepping back to look at the larger system of flux--of which we are only a small part--this book evokes us to find our own pulse, as it were, and assert an appropriately scaled sense of being within the hierarchy of this system.

ISBN: 9781913620189
Category : Iran

Pages : 0
Book Description
On the islands in the Strait of Hormuz, off the southern coast of Iran, there is a common belief that the winds can possess a person, bringing illness and disease. The existence of similar convictions in some African countries suggests that the cult may have been brought to Iran from southeast Africa through the Arab slave trade. This history is rarely spoken about but these winds and the traces they have left on the islands and their inhabitants are the touchstone for Hoda Afshar's Speak The Wind. Through her subtle and perceptive images of the extraordinary landscapes, the people and their rituals, Afshar's beautiful and complex book attempts to picture the wind and its psychic entanglements, to form a visible record of the invisible.

Mrs. Merryman's Collection
Author: Anne Sophie Merryman
Publisher: Mack Publishing Company
ISBN: 9781907946257
Category : Artists' books
Languages : en
Pages : 112
Book Description
Anne-Marie Merryman collected postcards between 1937 and 1980, a collection inherited by her granddaughter, Anne Sophie Merryman. The book, Mrs. Merryman's Collection, presents the postcards which together form the story of two intertwined lives - one life lived travelling the world through the postcard images, the other a child and then adult whose life and relationship to her own history and her future were influenced by the collection. While Anne-Marie and Anne Sophie never met, both their lives were inspired by the postcard collection - a relationship that was born, and continues to flourish, in the realms of the imagination. Mrs. Merryman's Collection is the winner of the First Book Award 2012, an award by the National Media Museum and MACK to support the publication of a book by a previously unpublished photographer.

Glitter in My Wounds
Author:
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781913620363
Category : Photography, Artistic
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The result of a series of chance encounters, 'Glitter in My Wounds' embraces accident and improvisation in the face of the restrictive categories that pervade art and life. The book is shaped around a series of portraits of the transgender activist and actress Gersande Spelsberg made by the artist and educator Adam Broomberg. Spelsberg sat for Broomberg and together they made 100 photographs, shot on 5x4 negative and lit only using the sun and mirrors--the same distinctive lighting technique employed in Helmar Lerski's remarkable series "Metamorphosis Through Light". Spelsberg's story of transitioning reflects on and questions the many toxic pre-existing conditions that shape contemporary gender roles. CAConrad's book '(Soma)tic Poetry Rituals', serves as a roadmap for confronting identities that had previously felt fixed and immutable and in this collection Broomberg encountered the poem "Glitter in My Wounds", with its sparkling echoes of the portraits Broomberg and Spelsberg had made. A prismatic reflection on identity and encounter formed in the meeting of three uncompromising artists, 'Glitter in My Wounds' confronts rigid conventions with an iconoclastic combination of portraits and poetics.
