A propos de cet article

Hardcover. In the imagined world of Scotlandfuturebog, photographers Nicholas Kahn and Richard Selesnick elegantly document a world both gloriously absurdist and sublime. The subjects of their images are mute bog dwellers, and the sole inhabitants of a postapocalyptic Earth. In the romance of this historical vacuum, common logic has no relevance. The viewer must relinquish the desire to contextualize, as creating rational pretexts for the masked characters and their strange rituals is futile. Eerie and stylish, these inventive images blur the line between fact and fiction and skew our sense of historical photographic truth as they explore the nexus between discovered and invented history. In this deluxe, limited-edition book, a number of the artists' stunning panoramic images are printed on vellum. The transparency of the material and the overlapping it creates between images reference the delicate separation between worlds real and imagined, past and future, us and the strange inhabitants of Kahn and Selesnick's world. This limited-edition publication is limited to 1500 copies. Each book is signed and numbered and presented in a cloth slipcase. When opened, the book extends to display panoramic spreads almost three feet wide. Eight four-page velum inserts are interspersed throughout, the transparency of which emphasizes the delicate separation between worlds real and imagined. In the world of "Scotlandfuturebog," photographers Nicholas Kahn and Richard Selesnick construct a strange and beautiful world that they describe as being of "infinite promise that cannot possibly be described or communicated except by direct experience." The characters we meet are bogdwellers, sole inhabitants of a planet emptied by an apocalyptic event. Left to perform obscure ceremonies in a terrain that is as intriguing as it is uninviting, the bogdwellers exist in a historical vacuum. The viewer's imagination will soar, creating personal pretexts for the masked characters and the strange rituals they conduct. Nicholas Kahn and Richard Selesnick, born in New York City and London, respectively, have been collaborating for more than a decade. They have exhibited internationally, in such galleries as Monique Knowlton, New York, Pepper Gallery, Boston, and The Royal Photographic Society, Bath, England. Their work is held in the collections of The National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian Institute, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, as well as many private collections. "Scotlandfuturebog" also features an original work of fiction by Ben Marcus. Marcus's second novel, "Notable American Women," was published in March 2002 by Vintage. Contributions to "BOMB, Harper's, McSweeney's, "and the "Village Voice" have establishedhim as one of the most exciting and imaginative writers working today.
