Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. Very large folio-sized book. Excellent condition in fine dust-wrapper, with detachable mylar archival covering. B&w photos. A fine copy of this very scarce book. ~~~ "TELEX: IRAN is an extraordinarily personal document of a public event.The photographs Gilles Peress took over a five-week period during the 1979/80 seizure of the American embassy in Tehran form neither a study nor an analysis. Peress didn't plan to go to Iran: the instant imagery, the caricatures of "fanatics" on his TV got to him. He felt the need to understand for himself the apparent madness about which the Western media could only generalize.Peress's photographs do not purport to tell the story-any story-but are the nearly seismographic record of the photojournalist's perceptions, encounters, and, not least, his emotions, as he moves through the city and countryside of a nation in upheaval. Involved one day, alienated the next; insightful in Tabriz, at sea in Qom; attracted to one subject, repelled by another, Telex: Iran beats out the raw rhythms of Iran's dislocations, historical and individual. The book is a virtually cinematic montage of events laced with evidence of the now skeletal requirements of one continuing, individual, Western life." ~~.

Edition originale Signé
First French edition, published simultaneously with the American edition of the photojournalist's first book. Folio, original stiff photographic wrappers, photographic endpapers. Inscribed by the photographer, Gilles Peress. In fine condition. Peress described his art well when he said, "I work much more like a forensic photographer in a certain way, collecting evidence. I've started to take more still lifes, like a police photographer, collecting evidence as a witness. I've started to borrow a different strategy than that of the classic photojournalist. The work is much more factual and much less about good photography. I don't care that much anymore about "good photography." I'm gathering evidence for history, so that we remember" (U.S. News). "Telex Iran chronicles the crisis in United States-Iran relations in late 1979 and early 1980 when militant Iranian students seized the American Embassy and held its inhabitants hostage. Peress book is oversized, graphically bold and provides numerous perspectives on an extremely sensitive political problem Along with reportage of major political events, Peress pictures record mundane spaces, places, people and moments of Iranian life in order to emphasize the incomprehensibility and confusion of the environment before his eyes. In this way the photographer is able to visualize precisely the culture gap that made such a historical misunderstanding possible. It is a brilliant tactic" (Roth, 28). Open Book, 330; Parr and Badger II, 252.
