"Since 2014, Alessandra Sanguinetti has been returning to the small town of Black River Falls in Wisconsin, creating the photographs that would come to form the stark and elliptical series Some Say Ice. The same town is the subject of Wisconsin Death Trip, a book of photographs taken by Charles Van Schaick in the late 1800s documenting the bleak hardships of the lives and deaths of its inhabitants. Sanguinetti first came across this book as a child, and the experience is engraved into her memory as her first reckoning with mortality. This encounter eventually led her to explore the strange relationship of photography and death, and ultimately to make her own visits to Black River Falls. The austere, sculptural scenes and ambiguous, uneasy portraits that make up Some Say Ice depict a place almost outside of time. Presented unadorned by text or explication, the photographs are touched with the spirit of the gothic as well as the unmistakable tenderness familiar from Sanguinetti’s series The Adventures of Guille and Belinda. By bringing undercurrents of doubt and darkness to the surface of her images, Sanguinetti alludes to things absent or invisible, playing on atmospheres both real and imagined, as well as the ghostly possibility of undoing death through the act of photography. With its title inspired by Robert Frost’s famous poem equivocating on how best one’s inevitable death might be met, Some Say Ice is a humane look at the melancholic realities underpinning our lives, seen with glacial clarity by one of the world’s foremost photographers."

hardcover. Etat : As New. Fotografie in bianco e nero di Alessandra Sanguinetti Editing: A. Sanguinetti & Jim Goldberg. Cm 28,5x31,5. pp. 148. . Perfetto (Mint). . Signed first edition with a slip signed by the artist and glued into the inside back cover / Prima edizione firmata con targhetta firmata dall'artista e incollata all'interno della quarta di copertina. . Dal 2014 Alessandra Sanguinetti è tornata nella cittadina di Black River Falls, nel Wisconsin, realizzando le fotografie che sarebbero andate a formare la serie cruda ed ellittica Some Say Ice. La stessa cittadina è il soggetto di Wisconsin Death Trip, un libro di fotografie scattate da Charles Van Schaick alla fine del 1800 che documenta le desolanti difficoltà delle vite e delle morti dei suoi abitanti. Sanguinetti si è imbattuta per la prima volta in questo libro da bambina e l'esperienza è rimasta impressa nella sua memoria come il suo primo contatto con la mortalità. Questo incontro l'ha portata a esplorare lo strano rapporto tra fotografia e morte e, infine, a visitare personalmente Black River Falls. Le scene austere e scultoree e i ritratti ambigui e inquieti che compongono Some Say Ice ritraggono un luogo quasi fuori dal tempo. Presentate senza testi o spiegazioni, le fotografie hanno lo spirito del gotico e l'inconfondibile tenerezza che ci è familiare nella serie Le avventure di Guille e Belinda di Sanguinetti. Sanguinetti allude a cose assenti o invisibili, giocando su atmosfere sia reali che immaginarie, nonché sulla possibilità spettrale di annullare la morte attraverso l'atto fotografico. Con un titolo ispirato alla famosa poesia di Robert Frost che si interroga su come affrontare al meglio l'inevitabile morte, Some Say Ice è uno sguardo umano sulle realtà malinconiche che stanno alla base delle nostre vite, viste con glaciale chiarezza da una delle più importanti fotografe del mondo.
