Hardcover. Condition: As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. Unpaginated. Published in 2005. Retrospective collection of photographs. One of the greatest photography books of our time. Limited Edition of 1500 copies. Published simultaneously with the Deluxe Edition. Both editions are now rare. A brilliant production by Stephen Gill and Melanie Mues: Regular-sized volume format. Blue pictorial cloth boards with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Photographs and brief text by Stephen Gill. 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 "Hackney Wick". Still his best, iconic book, from which all of his subsequent, ground-breaking (as it were) work derives. "I first came across the area in January 2003 when I was photographing the back of advertising billboards. Although I had lived in London for nine years and thought I knew East London well, Hackney Wick threw me. It completely changed my mental map of this part of London. Over the next two years (2003 through 2005), I visited Hackney Wick again and again. Hackney has long provided a refuge for immigrants and asylum-seekers from all over the world and for me, Hackney Wick especially reflects the great diversity of London" (Stephen Gill). To capture its distinctive flavor, ambience, and human face, Gill used a "low-tech" camera, in a defiant gesture of resistance to the pervasive (and soul-less) "hi-tech" digital camera favored by professional as well as amateur photographers. A pitch-perfect, poignant realization of the "object-in-relation-to-place" motif that runs throughout Stephen Gill's work. An absolute "must-have" title for Stephen Gill collectors. This is a copy of the Limited Edition of 1500 copies. It is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed in blue ink-pen on the front pastedown by Stephen Gill. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. The signature beautifully matches the book's blue-dominant boards. This title is a great photography book. 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: Stephen Gill did NOT sign most copies of the Limited Edition. A rare signed copy thus. 100 color 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.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. 1st Edition. 83/100 First Special Edition Signed to C.K. No Print Stephen Gill Hackney Wick Nobody, 2005 H230mm x w230mm Hardcover in Slipcase Hackney Wick sits in east London between the Grand Union Canal, the River Lea and the Eastway A106. Stephen Gill first came across the area at the end of 2002 when he was photographing the back of advertising billboards. His first visit was on a Sunday, to the vast market that used to take place in the old greyhound/speedway stadium. At first glance, apart from few pot plants, most of the items on sale looked like scrap, exhausted white goods, mountains of washing machines and fridges, copper wire and other metals stripped from derelict buildings, piles of old VHS videos. Stephen bought a plastic camera for 50p. It had a plastic lens and no focus or exposure controls, and he started making pictures with it at once. Over the next two years he visited Hackney Wick again and again. The market closed in July 2003, and the remains of the old stadium were demolished weeks later as part of the preparations for the 2012 Olympic Games. Signed by Author(s).

I first came across the area at the end of 2002 when I was photographing the back of advertising billboards. Although I had lived in London for nine years and thought I knew East London well, Hackney Wick threw me; it completely changed my mental map of this part of London. My first visit was on a Sunday, to the market which used to take place in the old greyhound/speedway stadium. The vast market was like no other I had seen before. At first glance, apart from few pot plants, most of the items on sale looked like scrap. It was not a market for luxury goods; it seemed to exist for people who were struggling to keep afloat themselves: exhausted white goods, mountains of washing machines and fridges, copper wire and other scrap metals stripped from derelict buildings; piles of old VHS videos which had been forced out of people's homes to make way for DVDs.\nThat day I bought a plastic camera at the market; it had a plastic lens with no focus or exposure controls. I immediately felt compelled to make pictures and for the next few years was carried by and drawn to the place itself, this time, unlike other works I had made to date, the parameters to the work were not around narrow concept or pursuing a singular interest, obsession or idea that was already forming in my mind, but more of a geographical pull and fascination with place and those who inhabited it. Though not a "concept" as such I enjoyed the thought that this camera would now get to work within the very place and its surroundings where it was sourced. Hackney has long provided a refuge for immigrants and asylum seekers from all over the world and for me Hackney Wick especially reflects the great diversity of London.\n\nThis new encounter with place coincided with a time in my life I started to have less trust information loaded and images and realised that when information is dialled down, denied, or obscured, somehow other feelings remain This series encapsulated what I believed at the time was an ideal amount of information to invoke the spirit and feeling of the place.\n\nThe market closed on 13th July 2003; it had been going for seven years. According to the Trading Standards inspectors it had been swamped with stolen and counterfeit goods. The remains of the old stadium were demolished weeks after the closure as part of the preparations for London's bid for the 2012 games. There is another side to Hackney Wick. Away from the noise and chaos nature has somehow managed to find and keep a place for itself. The canals and rivers and secret allotments (known only to their dedicated gardeners) are home to many birds and animals. These hidden paradises have a vibrancy of their own which will soon be muted by the dust that will cover them.\n\nOver the next several years to come I visited Hackney Wick again and again making other series in the Borough including Archaeology in Reverse, Hammer and Blackberry, Warming Down, Hackney Flower Portraits, Hackney Flowers, A Series of Disappointments, Off Ground, Talking to Ants and Best Before End\n\nStephen Gill \n\nEdition of 100, signed and numbered\nHoused in rubber-stamped slipcase made from record sleeve\n1 c-type print, signed\n155 x 208 mm\nISBN 978-0-9549405-2-0.
