Hardcover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. First edition, first printing. Two volumes. Ciel Tombé: Signed in black ink, dated "22 Feb. 2012" and inscribed "Tokyo" on the front free endpaper by Hatakeyama. Hardcover. Photographically illustrated paper-covered boards; no dust jacket as issued. Photographs, illustration and text (in French, English and Japanese) by Naoya Hatakeyama. 48 pp., with 30 four-color plates. 7 x 12-1/8 inches. The Astrologer: Hardcover. Photographically illustrated heavy boards; no dust jacket as issued. Text (in French, English and Japanese) by Sylvie Germain. 64 pp. 8-7/8 x 4-1/4 inches. New. In his book Lime Works, Hatakeyama wrote, "mines and cities are like the negative and positive of a single photograph." Ciel Tombé features Hatakeyama's haunting 2007 images of an underground quarry located 17 meters below the Bois de Vincennes, in Paris. Reminiscent of Nadar's 19th-century images of subterranean Paris, the "fallen sky" in these images refers to the collapsed ceilings of the quarry, visible as ruins beneath the forest above. Germain's book was written especially in response to Hatakeyama's images. From Naoya Hatakeyama: "Newton's apple stopped as it fell on the ground but this is not the end point of gravity. The earth's surface is merely a hand held out in the middle of a fall and gravity penetrates this, leading further down towards the center of the earth. It is said that in the ancient times, there were people who worried that the sky they looked up to would fall some day. Though it is difficult for us living in an age of science to imagine the view of 'the sky falling down,' if we consider this as meaning that 'the sky' is a place above us resisting gravity, we can imagine the anxiety of ancient people. The blue sky above was probably not an 'empty sky' but a 'place' for them. And the sky fell down. It penetrated vertically through cities, architecture and our bodies, falling underground. The sky has now become an ancient layer of earth permeating below the city [in which] we live." Signed by Author.

Limited to 500 copies2010. Used. Statemen from Stephen Gill: "Photography, birds, animals all merged for me as a teenager as I was fascinated with those things. I spent much time photographing birds when I was around 13 years old sitting patiently waiting for a bird to land in a spot where I had placed food and carefully set up my Dixons Miranda camera and long air cable release running into the kitchen. Through photography and with the help of the Observer's book of birds I got to know the different species that visited our garden. About 20 years later after spending more time making work inspired by cities (mostly East London) I decided to re visit the subject of birds. This time in the city and built up areas. I wanted to make a study of how birds fit and mould their lives around ours and adapt to what we have created. I was also very interested to hear that scientists found that birds in towns and cities sing louder or use higher frequencies compared to the same rural species so they can be heard above the man-made noise.".

From Alec Soth: "I went to New Oreleans for Mardi Gras but couldn't handle all of the communal joy. I decided to spend Fat Tuesday alone in my hotel room watching TV. I left the room for the midnight police sweep of Bourbon street, the official end of Mardi Gras--then photographed the aftermath. Ten years ago I photographed Adelyn on the morning after Mardi Gras. 'Just cigarette ashes,' she'd told me. Adelyn agreed to meet me again outside of St. Louis Cathedral. On the way back to my hotel, I stopped at the casino. I ran into a women I'd photographed earlier outside of the cathedral. She agreed to come to my hotel room to be photographed." Signed by Author.
