Synopsis
In the early 1990s Collier Schorr began working on and off in Southern Germany, compiling a documentary and fictional portrait of a small town inhabited by historical apparitions. Combining the overlapping roles of war photographer, traveling portraitist, anthropologist, and family historian, Schorr tells the interwoven stories of a place and time determined by memory, nationalism, war, emigration, and family. August employs Polaroids made by Schorr in Schwäbisch Gmünd and in this period to explore the liminal space of images that were never intended to persist beyond the immediate moment. Looking back some twenty years, August both historicises the work and examines the devices of making, revealing the mistakes in attempting to merge contemporary Germans into their past, implicitly exposing the distance between artist and subject, and between the subject and costumes. Aware of the demons and pitfalls of historical authority, Schorr probes at the space between identification and critique – a German boy in a feather boa, posed after Liliana Cavani’s The Night Porter, underscores her interest in the performative history of fetishism and uniform, and the way history shifts between documentary and fictionalization, distance and desire. August is the third volume in a series of books entitled Forests and Fields (Wald und Wiesen), following Neighbors/Nachbarn (2006) and Blumen (2010). Forests and Fields is intrinsically about book making, an ongoing suite of artists books that utilizes traditional notions of category to create different points of view. Each publication is part diary, photo annual, palimpsest, and scrapbook, and involves a process which constantly expands and contradicts the artist's oeuvre through re-edits of the work to create new views through the material. The books share similar dimensions but each is designed as an independent and unique work in itself. The final volume will be text based, a collection of commissioned and re-published writings inspired by the ideas explored in the pictures.

Collier Schorr [b. 1963] is an American artist and fashion photographer best known for adolescent portraits that blend photographic realism with elements of fiction and youthful fantasy. Her work explores a multitude of themes, including history, nationality, and war, with an emphasis on identity and gender. All Polaroids for this book were made with a Graflex Crown 4x5 camera between the years of 2001 and 2006. Primarily handheld. This book is a photo-documentary of sorts of the history and present of a small city in Germany. The Title, August, may be an homage; the photographer states: "I felt both a documentarian like August Sander and a war photographer from any time period." August is the third volume in a series of books entitled Forests and Fields (Wald und Wiesen), following Neighbors/Nachbarn (2006) and Flowers/Blumen (2010). 'Forests and Fields' is intrinsically about book making, an ongoing suite of artist's books that utilizes traditional notions of category to create different points of view. Each publication is part diary, photo annual, palimpsest, and scrapbook, and involves a process which constantly expands and contradicts the artist's oeuvre through re-edits of the work to create new views through the material.

hardcover. Etat : As New. Forests and Fields Volume 3. Fotografie a colori e in bianco e nero di Collier Schorr . Cm 30,5x25,5. pp. 104. . Perfetto (Mint). . Prima edizione con targhetta firmata dall'artista e incollata all'interno della quarta di copertina (Signed first edition with a slip signed by the artist and glued into the inside back cover). . All'inizio degli anni Novanta Collier Schorr ha iniziato a lavorare saltuariamente nella Germania meridionale, realizzando un ritratto documentario e fittizio di una piccola città abitata da apparizioni storiche. Combinando i ruoli sovrapposti di fotografo di guerra, ritrattista itinerante, antropologo e storico di famiglia, Schorr racconta le storie intrecciate di un luogo e di un tempo determinati dalla memoria, dal nazionalismo, dalla guerra, dall'emigrazione e dalla famiglia. August utilizza le polaroid realizzate da Schorr a Schwäbisch Gmünd e in questo periodo per esplorare lo spazio liminale di immagini che non erano destinate a rimanere oltre il momento immediato. Guardando indietro di circa vent'anni, August storicizza l'opera ed esamina i dispositivi di realizzazione, rivelando gli errori commessi nel tentativo di fondere i tedeschi contemporanei nel loro passato, esponendo implicitamente la distanza tra l'artista e il soggetto, e tra il soggetto e i costumi. August è il terzo volume di una serie di libri intitolata Forests and Fields (Wald und Wiesen), dopo Neighbors/Nachbarn (2006) e Blumen (2010). Forests and Fields è una serie di libri d'artista che utilizza le nozioni tradizionali di categoria per creare punti di vista diversi. Ciascuna pubblicazione è in parte un diario, un annuario fotografico e un album, e comporta un processo che espande e contraddice costantemente l'opera dell'artista attraverso rielaborazioni del lavoro per creare nuovi punti di vista attraverso il materiale. I libri condividono dimensioni simili, ma ciascuno è concepito come un'opera indipendente e unica in sé. Il volume finale sarà basato su testi, una raccolta di scritti commissionati e ripubblicati ispirati alle idee esplorate con le immagini. Prima edizione con targhetta firmata dall'artista e incollata all'interno della quarta di copertina (Signed first edition with a slip signed by the artist and glued into the inside back cover).
