Synopsis
I'm 40 years ol now. Since my early photographs, more than 15 years ago, I have used myself as a model. It's a strange feeling to look back at the work done and to look at that young person I used to be. I am living now what an unknown future for her. What has happened, what has changed ? The apartments, the boyfriends ; the face has grown older. The asthetics of my photography have nevertheless, remained the same. Surprising to realise though, that all of a sudden I'm no longer the youngest one in group shows. At my age my parents were already dead. My health degrades, like for many friends of my age. Some have passed away. I guess it's all these morbid thoughts that led into the idea of this book. I didn't want it to be "just the fourth monograph". It's important to juxtapose images of different times for comparison, investigating age, questionning what we are at a certain moment, where do I see myself now. I wish to show the time warp from 1996 to 2011, to show the line that continues through the work, and to look at the young Elina with a certain amusement, yet tenderly.

Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. 1st Edition. Brotherus emphasis has shifted over the years from a diacritic documentary strategy to larger philosophical questions of life and art. Her deep understanding of art history has a paradoxical effect. You can consider her as a person but also as a model. In her photographs there is a closeness you feel to her but also a cool conceptual distance. This complicates viewing the work in terms of self- portraiture, landscape or a diary. Photographs that can often appear quiet and straightforward on first encounter but become denser and laden with histories as you spend time with them. The 'back stories' which lie behind the beautiful, lush compositions are set in relief as she reaches that somewhat terrifying 'mid career' point and looks back on her life as an artist. Text in English, Finnish and in French. 222 pp. Slight signs of wear on the cover. Overall nice condition. N° de réf. du vendeur 7000

Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. 1st Edition. Text in English (French and Finnish in a separate booklet) 224 pp. I'm 40 years old now. Since my early photographs, more than 15 years ago, I have used myself as a model. It's a strange feeling to look back at the work done and to look at that young person I used to be. I am living now what was an unknown future for her. What has happened, what has changed? The apartments, the boyfriends; the face has grown older. The aesthetics of my photography have, nevertheless, remained the same. It's surprising to realise though, that all of a sudden I'm no longer the youngest one in group shows. At my age my parents were already dead. My health degrades, like for many friends of my age. Some have passed away. I guess it's all these morbid thoughts that led into the idea of this book. I didn't want it to be "just the fourth monograph". It's important to juxtapose images of different times for comparison - investigating age, questioning what we are at a certain moment, where do I see myself now. I wish to show the time warp from 1996 to 2011, to show the line that continues through the work, and to look at the young Elina with a certain amusement, yet tenderly. N° de réf. du vendeur 3240
