Synopsis
Fig. features over 80 still lives, portraits and landscapes by London-based photographers Adam Broomberg and Oliver Chanarin. Tracing connections between photography and British colonial acquisitiveness, they unearth and document weird arcana from Victorian collections in various public museums. As Broomberg and Chanarin themselves have observed: "the history of photography is intimately bound up with the idea of colonial power. Documentary photographers today have a worrying amount in common with the collector/adventurers of past eras. As unreliable witnesses, we have gathered together 'evidence' of our experiences and present our findings here; a muddle of fact and fantasy." The items photographed range from bizarre objects found at the Booth Museum of Natural History, Brighton, such as a merman's body and a unicorn's horn, to ancient waxworks and a dodo skeleton; or from floral arrangements found in the rooms of Hotel Rwanda to a single leaf blown from a tree in Tel Aviv by a bomb blast.

hardcover. Condition: Perfetto (Mint). Prima edizione (First Edition). Testi di Gordon MacDonald e Julian Stallabrass. Fotografie a colori . Cm 21,5x17. pp. 144. . Perfetto (Mint). . Prima edizione (First Edition). . Fig. presenta oltre 80 nature morte, ritratti e paesaggi dei fotografi londinesi Adam Broomberg e Oliver Chanarin. Tracciando connessioni tra la fotografia e l'aggressività coloniale britannica, documentano strani arcani dalle collezioni vittoriane in vari musei pubblici. Come hanno osservato gli stessi Broomberg e Chanarin: "la storia della fotografia è intimamente legata all'idea di potere coloniale. I fotografi documentaristi di oggi hanno una quantità preoccupante di cose in comune con i collezionisti/avventurieri delle epoche passate. Come testimoni inattendibili, abbiamo raccolto le 'prove' delle nostre esperienze e presentiamo qui i nostri risultati; un groviglio di fatti e fantasia". Gli oggetti fotografati vanno da oggetti bizzarri trovati al Booth Museum of Natural History di Brighton, come il corpo di un tritone e il corno di unicorno, ad antiche statue di cera a uno scheletro di dodo; o da composizioni floreali trovate nelle stanze dell'Hotel Rwanda a una singola foglia fatta saltare da un albero a Tel Aviv dall'esplosione di una bomba.
