Synopsis
Photographs of a deserted cosmos in a beautifully printed and elaborately designed book this is the fourth title from the young Dutch photographer Cuny Jansen. Her photographs recall the work of Wolfgang Tillmans in a very personal diary (of a place). Cuny Jansen travels frequently to Prince Albert, South Africa, to the middle of the Great Karoo an ancient seabed formed millions of years ago. It is this severe dry landscape that Jansen explores with her camera and upon which she projects stark portraits of local young people. Indeed it is the balance between fresh, young lives and unspoiled and harsh nature that lends this body of work a highly contemplative feel. The essay by Craig McEwan is a poem, an elegy for the archaic land written in geological time.

Hardcover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. First edition, first printing. Hardcover. Photographically illustrated paper-covered boards; no dust jacket as issued. Photographs by Cuny Janssen. Text (in English) by Craig McEwan. Unpaginated (56 pp.), with four-color plates throughout. 10 x 14-7/8 inches. New. Portraits and landscapes taken in Prince Albert, South Africa in 2005. From the publisher: "'Creaking Groaning Folding Rock . continental lift, tilt and breakup--the beginning of the end for the great continent Gondwana. New mountains form--Swartberge, Witteberge. Extremely old Archaen seabed, layer upon layer of river and lake shoved upright--black, brown, pink, rippled rock ridges and walls marching across torn and devastated landscapes. Eroding floods, mud laden escaping waters tearing across the old glacier produced Dwyka Karoo. Trapping, entombing survivors of the great Permian-Triassic green death, to add another layer to the richest fossil beds in the world. Volcanic devastation and lava flows complete the Karoo rock strata. Our ancient ancestors, leathery brown, hunting and gathering, entering the Karoo with its good years and its bad, its wet and its dry. Eyes across the endless rock, coarse bush, occasional grass and the mighty herds of antelope. Wandering far and wide, populating the world.' The young Dutch photographer Cuny Jansen was Thomas Struth's assistant; she is living in Amsterdam once more and has just had a baby daughter (2007) after a six month-long sojourn in South Africa, taking photographs of a very own deserted cosmos and processing them in a wonderful, beautifully printed and elaborately designed book.".
