Synopsis
Doug Keyes's photographs investigate the ways that knowledge stacks upon itself over time, leaving an impression or ''collective memory.'' In his first monograph, Collective Memory, Keyes's luminous color images of books literally reveal and sometimes conceal this stacking by capturing through multiple exposure the experience of reading the book. The resulting single image is a condensed document of the experience, the ideas contained within, and the physical identity of the book itself. The books Keyes chooses to photograph from art books and works of fiction, to poetry books and books on scientific theory hold personal meaning or remembrance for him and become sites to revisit. Keyes's photographs in fact make visible the pleasure of leafing through a text and the memory of that experience.

Hardcover. Condition: Very good +. First edition. SIGNED. Quarto [28.5 cm] Pictorial paper over boards, with very minor shelfwear to the boards. From the artist's website- "As an artist with a background in graphic design, Doug Keyes is hyperaware of the ways in which information and images are conveyed to the public. He is equally aware of the way knowledge stacks upon itself over time, leaving an impression or collective memory. "Using books and documents from Keyes' own collection as well as friends and relatives personal favorites; the topics cover a broad spectrum of inquiry, invention and expression. Produced with multiple exposures of all the pertinent pages of each book, Keyes' luminous color photographs reveal (or conceal) the entire contents in a single image. The result is a condensed document of the ideas contained within as well as the physical identity of the book itself.". Seller Inventory # 61069
