Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: None, As Issued. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. Unpaginated. Published in 2007. Artist Book. Now considered a contemporary art photography classic. Limited Edition of 3000 copies. An austerely elegant production by Stephen Gill and Melanie Mues: Regular-sized volume format. Brown cloth boards with orange design on the cover and orange titles embossed on spine, as issued. Photographs by Stephen Gill. Text by Iain Sinclair. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper by EBS in Verona, Italy to the highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Presents Stephen Gill's "Archaeology In Reverse". One of three conceptually inventive photography books published simultaneously by the artist/photographer (the other two are "Hackney Flowers" and "Anonymous Origami"). "Stephen Gill has learned this: To haunt the places that haunt him. His photo-accumulations demonstrate a tender vision factored out of experience. Alert, watchful, not over-eager, wary of that mendacious conceit, 'closure'. There is always flow, momentum, the sense of a man passing through a place that delights him. A sense of stepping down, immediate engagement, politic exchange. What I like about Stephen Gill is that he has learned to give us only as much as we need, the bones of the bones of the bones" (Iain Sinclair). Firmly grounded in the great British documentary tradition, Stephen Gill's photographs are honest, telling, and brilliant. His conceptual rigor and intelligence, unsentimental empathy for his subjects, and delicate use of color are astonishingly assured (that is, devoid of artistic vanity and self-indulgence) for a photographer who just started taking photographs (in his early 20's) and already has several published collections and one masterpiece (in his early 30's). The "object-in-relation-to-place" motif runs throughout Stephen Gill's oeuvre, and in this book, is especially moving. An absolute "must-have" title for Stephen Gill collectors. This is a copy of the Limited Edition of 3000 copies. It is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed in pencil on the title page by Stephen Gill. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a contemporary art photography classic. This is one of few such signed copies of the Limited Edition still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Although it is a Limited Edition, Gill did NOT sign most copies of the book. A scarce signed copy thus. 104 plates. Stephen Gill's "Hackney Wick" was selected as one of the greatest photography books in "The Photobook". One of the most brilliant photographers of our time. A fine copy.

Publisher's decorated cloth, as new. Signed by Gill on title. Nobody, in association with the Archive of Modern Conflict, 2007. Square 8vo. [114] pp, one folding leaf, + 12 pp booklet by Iain Sinclair bound in. Colour photobook, with Gill picking up where his 'Hackney Wick' left off. Stephen Gill is a British experimental, conceptual and documentary photographer. Books are a key aspect to Gill's practice. Gill mainly draws inspiration from his immediate surroundings of inner city life in East London and more recently Sweden with an attempt to make work that reflects, responds and describes the times we live in. His work is often made up of long-term photo studies exploring and responding to the subjects in great depth. After working mainly in black and white from 1984, his practice since the mid 1990s was mostly in colour. Until 2003 his work mostly had a descriptive and typographical approach towards the subjects. Eight of his photo studies made between 1997 and 2003 were assembled and published as chapters in a book called Field Studies in 2004, which also toured as an exhibition. In January 2003 Gill bought a Bakelite 1960s box camera made by Coronet for 50 pence at Hackney Wick Sunday market, near where he lived. The camera had a plastic lens, and it lacked focus and exposure controls. Over the next four years he had used the camera to photograph within the extremely varied environment of Hackney Wick, including waterways and allotments, and to make portraits of people at the Sunday market and who lived and worked in the area. The subject parameters to this long-term obsession were geographical rather than conceptual. The lack of image clarity that the plastic camera offered aligned very much with Gill's frame of mind at the time.…
