From the publisher: "Inspired by Chekhov's short stories, Paul Graham's a shimmer of possibility comprises 12 individual books, each volume a photographic short story of everyday life in today's America. Most of these books contain small sequences of images, such as a man smoking a cigarette while he waits for a bus in Las Vegas, or a walk down a street in Boston on an autumn afternoon. Often two, three or four sequences intertwine in a single book, like separate but related lives co-existing in suburban America. Sometimes the quiet narrative breaks unexpectedly into a sublime moment - while a couple carry their shopping home in Texas a small child dances with a plastic bag in a garden; as a man cuts the grass in Pittsburgh it begins to rain and the low sun breaks through to illuminate every raindrop. These filmic haikus avoid the forceful summation we usually find in photography, shunning any tidy packaging of the world into perfect images. Instead, life simply flows around and past us while we stand and stare, quietly astonished by its beauty and grace. Whilst the twelve books are all an identical size, they vary in length from just a single photograph, to 60 pages of images made at one street intersection. The radical form of this multi volume book embraces the unique nature of Graham's work, giving the flow of life precedence over conclusiveness, where nothing much happens, but nothing is foreclosed either, where everything shimmers with possibility.".

paperback. Etat : As New. 12 volumi. Fotografie a colori di Paul Graham . Cm 32x24,5. pp. 376. . Perfetto (Mint). . Prima edizione di 1000 copie (First Edition of 1000 copies). . Pubblicato per la prima volta alla fine del 2007, ?A shimmer of possibility? di Paul Graham è considerato "uno dei punti di svolta nella pratica fotografica contemporanea? La prima edizione ha ridefinito il concetto di fotolibro.E' composto da 12 singoli libri con copertina rigida, in un'edizione di 1.000 copie. Liberamente ispirato ai racconti di Cechov, ?A shimmer of possibility? comprende una serie di racconti fotografici della vita quotidiana nell'America di oggi. Ogni storia è una piccola sequenza di immagini: un uomo che fuma una sigaretta mentre aspetta un autobus a Las Vegas, o una passeggiata per strada a Boston in un pomeriggio d'autunno. Spesso due, tre o quattro sequenze si intrecciano in un unico capitolo, come vite separate ma collegate che coesistono nell'America suburbana. A volte la tranquilla narrazione è interrotta inaspettatamente da un evento particolare: mentre una coppia porta a casa la spesa in Texas, un bambino balla con un sacchetto di plastica in un giardino; mentre un uomo taglia l'erba a Pittsburgh, inizia a piovere e il sole basso irrompe per illuminare ogni goccia di pioggia. Questi haiku visivi evitano la forte sintesi che di solito troviamo nella fotografia, rifuggendo da qualsiasi idea di un mondo fatto di immagini perfette; la vita scorre semplicemente intorno e davanti a noi mentre stiamo in piedi e la fissiamo, silenziosamente stupiti dalla sua bellezza e grazia. La forma radicale di quest'opera si riflette nelle sequenze del libro, dando la precedenza al flusso della vita, dove non succede molto, ma nemmeno nulla è precluso, dove tutto brilla di possibilità. Prima edizione di 1000 copie (First Edition of 1000 copies). N° de réf. du vendeur bc_229701

Hardcover. Etat : As new. First Edition, First Printing. SIGNED SET - A Shimmer of Possibility. Photographs by Paul Graham. SteidlMack, Gottingen, 2007. 12 vols. Large quarto (13 1/2 x 10 3/4 in./ 24 x 32 cm). Limited edition of 1,000 sets. All hardcover with no dust jacket, as issued. Each bound in a different colored cloth. 360 pp. total. 160 color reproductions. Cited in Par & Badger, Vol. 3. SIGNED on Volume 1. Condition: New/Fine. All 12 vols. SIGNED. Shimmer of Possibility was shown at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in the spring of 2009 in a show organized by Susan Kismaric, Curator, Department of Photography. As the Museum's publicity material described, "Each simple but structurally inventive series includes varying numbers of pictures, from one to more than ten, and provides a vivid glimpse into unheralded moments in the lives of individuals Graham encountered on his travels." "I have been taking photographs for 30 years now," Graham said: "and it has steadily become less important to me that the photographs are about something in the most obvious way. I am interested in more elusive and nebulous subject matter. The photography I most respect pulls something out of the ether of nothingness? you can't sum up the results in a single line. In a way, 'a shimmer of possibility' is really about these nothing moments in life.". Signed. N° de réf. du vendeur 366
