About this Item

Z : 20,5 x 26 cm, Hardcover, dust jacket, 112 Seiten/pages, 64 color & 11 b/w ill.) - In his both visually seductive and irritating photographic and filmic works, Elad Lassry (born 1977 in Tel Aviv, lives and works in Los Angeles) explores canonical ideas about the use of images as influenced by various technologies and the history of the media. Elad Lassry's photographs everyday and design objects, fruit and vegetable still lifes, human and animal portraits, landscapes and cityscapes allude to visual features and image constructions that have been used in photography, advertising, magazines and illustrated books, and in films. What interests him in this context is analogue source material and duplication methods, and the development of different types of images in the history of the image before they were incorporated into the digital flood of the now omnipresent archive of available images. His photographic works, which do not usually exceed the format of a magazine or printed material, comprise either collages of acquired printed matter or newly-composed photographs.

About this title

Synopsis

Drawing on the language and conventions of media and advertizing, Israeli-born artist Elad Lassry (born 1977) focuses his attention on the surfaces and histories of the things and people he captures. The first monograph devoted to his work, this volume surveys Lassry's visually seductive photographs and films, which thematize the relationship between the image and the picture as an object.
