Each image features a single book on a black background, with the pages ablur between the illustrations, cover, and end page art. The photographer shares that she finds inspiration in Abelardo Morell’s camera obscura work, challenging her to “explore the myth of the photographic truth and… create a new way of looking at childhood icons.” Cantor seeks to capture the pleasure of losing oneself within the page of a book, a tactile experience that has become more rare with the advent of e-readers and the competing content on smartphones.

Inszenierte Realität ‒ Mit seinen Fotos des nächtlichen Paris hat der in Ungarn geborene Fotograf Brassaï wesentlich zur Ikonografie des letzten Jahrhunderts beigetragen. Eine Besprechung von Thomas Wörtche. Zwischen 1929 und 1934 hat Gyula Halász (1899–1984), der unter dem Namen Brassaï weltberühmt werden sollte, eine ganze Serie von Schwarz-Weiß-Fotos gemacht, die allesamt das nächtliche Paris zum Thema hatten. Veröffentlich in drei Fotobänden: „Paris de nuit“ (1932), „Voluptés de Paris“ (135) und dann – mit erheblicher Verspätung „Le Paris secret des années 30“ (1976). Jetzt haben Sylvie Aubenas und Quentin Bajac das gesamte Material zu einem großen Band zusammengefasst und kommentiert. […]

Bauhaus - 1920/30
A sense of confinement pervades Kylli Sparre’s most recent photographic works, which center on figures trapped in clear vessels, encircled by narrow pools, or enclosed in empty concrete rooms.
