Book Description: Brooklyn, New York, U.S.A.: Power House Books, 2004. Hardcover. Book Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. Offered here SIGNED by the Artist and in AS NEW condition is Bill Burke's "Autrefois, Maison Privee," published in 2004 by PowerHouse Books. This is a hardcover book with a pictorial dust jacket, upon which is written "Was a Catholic School, now a sports club for party youth." It features an essay by Bernard Fall and a letter by Prince Sirik Matak. 184 pages with 98 color plates, coated with a tinted varnish, printed by Steidl. The book measures 10.5 x 13.75 inches. Bill Burke's extensive knowledge of the Indochina region evolved into a unique attenuation to the area's history. That he was still an outsider enabled him to objectively observe the reflection of that long and troubled past as seen in the architecture and cultural landscape. He set out to document the changing (and rapidly decaying) homes and buildings as a subtle, enduring, and untainted record of transformation, focusing on the re-purposing of private homes for public and governmental use.

Book Description: powerHouse Books,U.S., United States, 2004. Hardback. Book Condition: New. Bill Burke (illustrator). 198 x 129 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. Photographer Bill Burke has taken annual trips to Indochina ever since he first traveled to Asia in 1982. Although he usually photographed the people, Burke became aware of how the architecture absorbed as much as reflected the region's history. Transfixed by buildings like the municipal offices built by the French in the 1860s, the vaulted railroad stations and post offices of the 1930s, and the art deco fantasy cinemas of the 1960s, Burke saw the region as an architectural museum, rotting in the humidity and untouched by economic ambition, and began to trace the cultural changes in the area through its architecture. In "Autrefois, Maison Privee"--the title means "once a private house," and refers to the prevalent reappropriation of once private houses for municipal and government use--Burke captures the dramatic history of the area, from the influence of French colonialism through the rise of communism and the devastating effects of the Vietnam War, to the repopulation of Cambodia after the fall of Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge and the opening of the area to capitalism. Burke's first entree into Indochina occurred during the period of Soviet control, a period of recovery that allowed for the current explosion of capitalism, which has already begun to devastate an architectural heritage that was well preserved in the deep freeze of socialism. What the B-52s and tanks didn't destroy during decades of war, developers from neighboring countries are busily replacing and defacing with their shrines of commerce. "Autrefois, Maison Privee" is the only book to delineate this transformation; featuring Burke's signature gritty layout and design, "Autrefois, Maison Privee" is a marvel livre deluxe of history, architecture, and photography.

Book Description: powerHouse Books, 2004. Hardcover. Book Condition: New. Dust Jacket Included. 1st Edition. First edition, first printing. Signed in black ink on the half-title page by Burke, with his personal red 'Actual Signature' and black 'Bîhn Foto' stamps added. Hardcover. Fine dark blue cloth, with title stamped in gilt on spine, with dust jacket. Photographs and Afterword by Bill Burke. Essay by Bernard Fall. Letter by Prince Sirik Matak. 184 pp., with 98 tritone (some quadratone) plates (with variations of tinted varnish applied to each image), beautifully printed by Steidl, Göttingen, Germany. 10 5/8 x 13 5/8 inches. This first edition was limited to 2500 hardbound copies to be distributed in North America. CONDITION: New in publisher's shrink-wrap (opened only for signature). Since the early 1980s, Bill Burke has photographed extensively in Southeast Asia, focusing primarily in Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam. Burke's haunting and layered examination of the landscape and people is informed by the collective political and social conscience galvanized by the United States' lengthy occupation and annihilation of these regions before, during, and after the Vietnam War. His lifelong desire to connect personally and viscerally to the people he meets sets his work in an altogether separate category from most artists who photograph outside their circumscribed "experience." Neither overtly political nor proscriptive, Burke's work instead recognizes the personal is indeed political. Gone are the cultural stereotypes we have long seen in images of Southeast Asia. Instead we are able to experience the intensity of the individual through Bill Burke's idiosyncratic and careful observation. He obliterates the notion that the "documentary photograph" is a vehicle for "truth" and compellingly shows the viewer that it is always a form of personal or political propaganda. Burke's new book, 'Autrefois, Maison Privee' (meaning "once a private house") is somewhat of a departure from his previous titles. The book is a collection of photographs made in Cambodia of primarily French-influenced architecture. While published in the form of a 'monograph' and a seeming departure from Burke's more autobiographical books, the individual images in 'Autrefois, Maison Privee' often contain strange, apparently contradictory and disturbing references to Cambodia's history, as seen through Burke's unique perspective of the region's architecture. Printed by Steidl Verlag in tritone 'Autrefois, Maison Privee' is exquisite, and should be one of the very best books published of the year!
