Acerca del libro
The original, complete book is a relatively plain 116 pages, containing a series of "postcards", topographic photographs extracted from my backfiles, arranged into pairs, and sequenced around six simple, "liveable" questions ("Where On Earth Am I?", "How Did I Get Here?", "Are We Lost Yet?", etc.). For this smaller selection, I chose to embed each pair of facing photographs into a single unifying "illuminated" two-page frame, an approach that suggested itself when creating the twelve images for my 2021 calendar. The pages are presented in the order that they are found in the complete, sequenced book, with their original page numbers, but without the schematic framework of the six questions.
Are these decorative pages a reframing of those original questions, or do they constitute a seventh, more opaque question written in "a very foreign language"? Who knows? But if you're happy to join me on this photographic dérive, then let's get lost.
