Les premiers colons ont surnommé la Californie, le Golden State et le pays du lait et du miel. Aujourd'hui, il y a les ironies évidentes - l'étalement, les jonctions de spaghetti et la rangée de dérapages - mais l'endroit n'est pas si facilement distillé ou visualisé, que ce soit comme un paradis cliché ou comme sa disparition. Il y a une étrange harmonie quand tout est vu ensemble - le sublime, le psychédélique, l'autodestructeur. Comme tous les endroits, c'est imprévisible et contradictoire, mais à des extrêmes. Cultures et histoires coexistent, le beau s'assoit à côté du laid, le rédempteur à côté du désespoir, et le tout sous une lumière étrange et singulière, aussi transcendante que dure. Les images de ce livre commencent dans le désert à l'est de Los Angeles et se déplacent vers l'ouest à travers la ville pour se terminer dans le Pacifique. Ce mouvement général vers l'ouest fait allusion à une soif d'eau, ainsi qu'à l'expansion originelle de l'Amérique, qui est née à l'Est et qui s'est précipitée avidement vers l'Ouest jusqu'à atteindre le Pacifique, accomplissant ainsi son destin «manifeste». Les personnes, les lieux et les animaux du livre existaient avant l'appareil photo de Halpern, mais il a cousu ces photographies dans une œuvre de fiction ou de fantaisie - une structure, une séquence et un montage qui, comme Los Angeles lui-même, vacille au bord de l'effondrement sous le poids de sa propre masse aux formes étranges.

Hardcover. Etat : New. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Unique copy of Gregory Halpern's "ZZYZX." *Includes archival inkjet print hand-stamped by the artist.** Signed and pristine condition. Widely considered one of the most important photography books of the last decade. From publisher's desicription: "The early settlers dubbed California 'The Golden State' and 'The Land of Milk and Honey'. Today there are the obvious ironies sprawl, spaghetti junctions and skid row but the place is not so easily distilled or visualised, either as a clichéd paradise or as its demise. There's a strange kind of harmony when it's all seen together the sublime, the psychedelic, the self-destructive. Like all places, it's unpredictable and contradictory, but to greater extremes. Cultures and histories coexist, the beautiful sits next to the ugly, the redemptive next to the despairing, and all under a strange and singular light, as transcendent as it is harsh.".

Hardcover. Etat : New. Orderbook - WWB - ZZYZX: GREGORY HALPERN. MACK, London, 2016. 130 pp. With 76 col. Ills. 30 x 25 cm. ISBN 9781910164655 In English. Chiefly pictorial. Publisher's description: The early settlers dubbed California The Golden State, and The Land of Milk and Honey. Today there are the obvious ironies - sprawl, spaghetti junctions and skid row -- but the place is not so easily distilled or visualized, either as a cliched paradise or as its demise. There's a strange kind of harmony when it's all seen together -- the sublime, the psychedelic, the self-destructive. Like all places, it's unpredictable and contradictory, but to greater extremes. Cultures and histories coexist, the beautiful sits next to the ugly, the redemptive next to the despairing, and all under a strange and singular light, as transcendent as it is harsh. The pictures in this book begin in the desert east of Los Angeles and move west through the city, ending at the Pacific. This general westward movement alludes to a thirst for water, as well as the original expansion of America, which was born in the East and which hungrily drove itself West until reaching the Pacific, thereby fulfilling its "manifest" destiny. The people, places, and animals in the book did exist before Halpern's camera, but he has sewn these photographs into a work of fiction or fantasy -- a structure, sequence and edit which, like Los Angeles itself, teeters on the brink of collapsing under the weight of its own strangely-shaped mass.
