Tirant son nom d'une ligne du poème de Wallace Stevens «The Grey Room», le dernier livre d'Alec Soth est une exploration lyrique des limites de la représentation photographique. Bien que ces photographies couleur grand format soient réalisées partout dans le monde, elles ne concernent pas un lieu ou une population en particulier. Par un processus d'engagement intime et souvent prolongé, les portraits et les images de Soth de l'environnement de son sujet impliquent une enquête sur la mesure dans laquelle une ressemblance photographique peut représenter plus que la surface extérieure d'un individu, et peut-être même sonder les profondeurs de quelque chose d'inconnaissable à la fois la gardienne et le photographe. «Après la publication de mon dernier livre sur la vie sociale en Amérique, Songbook, et une rétrospective de mes quatre projets américains à grande échelle, Gathered Leaves, j'ai traversé une longue période de repenser mon processus créatif. Pendant plus d'un an, j'ai arrêté de voyager et de photographier des gens. J'ai à peine pris des photos. Quand je suis revenu à la photographie, j'ai voulu dépouiller le médium jusqu'à ses éléments primaires. Plutôt que d'essayer de faire une sorte de récit épique sur l'Amérique, je voulais simplement passer du temps à regarder d'autres personnes et, espérons-le, brièvement entrevoir leur vie intérieure. Afin d'essayer d'accéder à ces vies, j'ai fait toutes les photographies dans les espaces intérieurs. Bien que ces pièces existent souvent dans des endroits éloignés, c'est seulement pour souligner que ces images ne concernent aucun endroit en particulier. Qu'une photo soit faite à Odessa ou à Minneapolis, mon objectif était le même: passer simplement du temps en présence d'un autre cœur qui bat. » - Alec Soth

Cette nouvelle série d'Alec Soth tire son nom d'un poème de Wallace Stevens, The Gray Room. Après son exploration récente de la vie sociale américaine dans Songbook, il propose ici une série de portraits grand format en couleur. Toujours saisis dans des lieux clos mais partout dans le monde, il y explore la notion d'intimité de manière lyrique, avec une volonté de se mettre en retrait de l'agitation.

Firma autografa dell'Artista al frontespizio (Signature of the Artist on the title-page). Ottimo (Fine). . Prima edizione (First Edition). . Prendendo il nome da un verso del poema di Wallace Stevens "The Grey Room", l'ultimo libro di Alec Soth è un'esplorazione lirica dei limiti della rappresentazione fotografica. Queste fotografie a colori di grande formato sono realizzate in tutto il mondo e non riguardano un particolare luogo o popolazione. Attraverso un processo di ricerca intimo e spesso molto lungo, i ritratti di Soth danno vita ad un'indagine per la quale una somiglianza fotografica a volte può rappresentare meglio di ogni altro mezzo un individuo, e forse anche scandagliare le profondità di qualcosa di inconoscibile sia per il modello che per il fotografo."Dopo la pubblicazione del mio ultimo libro sulla vita sociale in America, Songbook, e una retrospettiva dei miei quattro grandi progetti americani, Gathered Leaves, ho passato un lungo periodo di ripensamento sul mio processo creativo. Per oltre un anno ho smesso di viaggiare e fotografare persone. Ho fatto appena qualche foto. Quando sono tornato alla fotografia, volevo spogliare il mezzo per raggiungere i suoi elementi primari. Piuttosto che cercare di fare una sorta di narrativa epica sull'America, volevo passare semplicemente il tempo a guardare le altre persone e, si spera, a dare una breve occhiata alla loro vita interiore. Per provare ad accedere a queste vite, ho fatto tutte le fotografie in interni. Forse queste stanze esistono in luoghi remoti, ma in questo lavoro non riguardano nessun luogo in particolare. Se un'immagine è stata fatta a Odessa o a Minneapolis, il mio obiettivo era lo stesso: passare semplicemente il tempo in presenza di un altro cuore pulsante". Book. N° de réf. du vendeur bc_216453

Hard cover. Etat : New. Signed by the Photographer Interview with Alec Soth by Hanya Yanagihara Coincides with four solo exhibitions in New York, San Francisco, Minneapolis, and Berlin. Taking its name from a line in the Wallace Stevens? poem ?The Gray Room,? Alec Soth?s latest book is a lyrical exploration of the limitations of photographic representation. While these large-format color photographs are made all over the world, they aren?t about any particular place or population. By a process of intimate and often extended engagement, Soth?s portraits and images of his subject?s surroundings involve an enquiry into the extent to which a photographic likeness can depict more than the outer surface of an individual, and perhaps even plumb the depths of something unknowable about both the sitter and the photographer. ?After the publication of my last book about social life in America, Songbook, and a retrospective of my four, large scale American projects, Gathered Leaves, I went through a long period of rethinking my creative process. For over a year I stopped traveling and photographing people. I barely took any pictures at all. When I returned to photography, I wanted to strip the medium down to its primary elements. Rather than trying to make some sort of epic narrative about America, I wanted to simply spend time looking at other people and, hopefully, briefly glimpse their interior life. In order to try and access these lives, I made all of the photographs in interior spaces. While these rooms often exist in far-flung places, it?s only to emphasize that these pictures aren?t about any place in particular. Whether a picture is made in Odessa or Minneapolis, my goal was the same: to simply spend time in the presence of another beating heart.? ?
