Blazing Light is published to coincide with Mimi Plumbs first solo museum exhibition of the same name (High Museum of Art, Atlanta, Georgia) and brings together three of her major bodies of workThe White Sky, Landfall and The Golden City, and The Reservoirthat collectively contemplate the anxieties of American life in the waning years of the Cold War and its aftermath.In the 1970s, Plumb began photographing as a teenager in the San Francisco suburb of Walnut Creek at a time marked by rapid development of the land coupled with global political and economic instability. Her early artistic life was defined by a burgeoning awareness of global warming, the AIDS epidemic, violent conflict in Latin America and the Middle East, and a looming threat of nuclear war. This atmosphere attuned Plumb to the evidence of such forces in the land, the built environment, and the ways people carry themselves and relate to one anotherconcerns that continue to abide in her work to this day.Plumbs photographs foreground the presence of people, lending her images a greater degree of pathos and even notes of humorous absurdity. Though the artist embraces realism, her photographs are more ambient and enigmatic, inviting conjecture rather than providing documentary information.

Hardcover. Condition: New. "From 2021 to 2023, I photographed around two reservoirs in the Central Valley of California experiencing a twenty-three year megadrought. The Reservoir weaves together images of the drying lakes and people seeking a leisurely day at the beach. They bring their dogs, babies and baby carriages, inner tubes, kayaks, rafts, umbrellas, coolers, and tents. As the summer progresses and the waterline recedes, families walk over a mile to reach the beach. At times, the sky is colored with smoke from nearby forest fires. The photographs in The Reservoir are part of an ongoing exploration in my work of how droughts, climate change, and ever-present anxiety collectively maps onto life in the American West." Mimi Plumb\n\nIt could be the last of our days, the way the water is receding, and the sun unrelenting. The reservoirs, once vast and overflowing, shrink before our eyes; the distance to reach the lapping shores growing vaster with every page. Humanity traveling that distance, what was once yards, now a mile or more. Mimi Plumb, in her new book, The Reservoir, follows the trail of people dotting the parched landscape, recording the plight, the pilgrimage, and the reward. The light is magical. The scenes are sublime. The moments are suspended. The sequence of images leads us to the water's edge and lets us decide if we want to keep going or not.\n\nMimi Plumb is part of a long tradition of socially engaged photographers concerned with California and the West. She received a 2022 Guggenheim Fellowship in support of her current project, Reservoir.\n\nPlumb will be the subject of a solo exhibition organized by the High Museum of Art, Atlanta in 2026. Her photographs are in the collections of the High Museum of Art, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Art Collection Deutsche Börse in Germany, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Pier 24, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Daum Museum of Contemporary Art, and the Yale University Art Gallery. She currently lives in Berkeley, California.\n\nISBN: 978-1-59005-614-1\n\nHardcover, 11.5x13 inches, 68 pages, 41 duotone plates.

Tapa Dura. Condition: New. 1ª Edición. La impresionante nueva monografía de Mimi Plumb, Megalith-Still, es una meditación sobre lo sublime dentro del indómito paisaje estadounidense.Envío a todo el mundo el día del pedido.Cada verano, desde finales de la década de 1990 hasta principios de la de 2000, la aclamada fotógrafa viajaba desde su casa en San Francisco hasta Kings Canyon, un desierto donde se comunicaba con una manada de caballos. Plumb vendría a producir Megalith-Still, una serie de retratos del rebaño, imbuidos de una profunda ternura, y de un poderoso peso físico.?Los caballos duermen acostados, con las patas moviéndose, la boca envuelta alrededor de las briznas de hierba. Las moscas se sienten atraídas por sus ojos húmedos y parpadeantes. Estoy lo más cerca que puedo enfocar, examinando sus rostros, colas, pezuñas y vientres, hechizado por la sensualidad del caballo y el lugar.?Estoy en un prado en lo alto de Sierra Nevada. Los canales del río San Joaquín se entrelazan a través de la espesa y exuberante hierba. Me quito los zapatos y los calcetines, me subo los pantalones y camino por las aguas poco profundas hasta donde ahora comen los caballos. Trazan un patrón, misterioso para mí, alrededor y alrededor del prado, comiendo, beBiendo y durmiendo.?A última hora de la tarde, los caballos abandonan abruptamente el prado en una sola línea. Corro tras ellos a través de un pantano de lodo espeso y árboles y ramas muertas que me arañan los brazos. Trotan y galopan, moviéndose más rápido de lo que se han movido durante todo el día. No puedo alcanzarlos. Cuando llego al borde de la orilla principal del río, veo al último de los caballos entrar con cautela en las aguas profundas y rápidas y flotar lentamente hacia el otro lado? -Mimi PlumbEncuadernado en tres cuartos en un papel de lana fibroso excepcionalmente táctil (producido con excedentes de la industria de la moda) e impreso por expertos en tritono, Megalith-Still de Mimi Plumb es una publicación verdaderamente atemporal.
