Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Condition: Wie neu. Photovison. 2011. First edition, first printing. Signed by Ricardo Cases! Martin Parr, Gerry Badger: The Photobook, volume 3, page 236. Paperback. 74 pages. Condition: Outside with slightest trace of use; nearly invisible. Inside new, mint, unread; only opened once for signature. Overall fantastic, near mint condition! Signed by the artist! Collector`s copy! Selected by Martin Parr and Alec Soth as one of the best photobooks in 2011! Third photobook by Ricardo Cases deals with an unusual subject: a unique form of pigeon racing practised in the Spanish regions of Valencia and Murcia. Known as colombiculture, it is a sport with rules and referees. It consists of releasing one female pigeon and dozens of males. Painted in combinations of primary colours, reminiscent of flags or football kits, these pigeons chase the female to get her attention. None ever manage to get too intimate, and consequently the winner is the one that spends the most time close to her. The winner is not necessarily the most athletic, the toughest or the purest in breed but the most courteous, the one that shows most constancy and has the strongest reproductive instinct. This is the one that is seen by aficionados of the sport as the true embodiment of "macho". The pigeon handler invests time, money and hope in his young pigeons. He raises them, gives them names, trains them and has faith in them. When competition day arrives he is full of childlike illusion and uncertainty. The price for young pigeons can reach thousands of euros and betting involves large amounts of money. The male pigeon becomes almost a projection of the pigeon-keeper himself, who embodies its sporting, economic and sexual success or failure in the community. Raising a male champion can bring both prestige and profit. Far from the harsh reality of his daily life, the colombaire has a second life where all is possible - he can reach the top. He just needs a champion pigeon. In Paloma al Aire, Ricardo Cases explores the sport as a symbolic act, a projection and a way of relating to the world. It is an ethnographic documentation as groups of men run through the countryside behind their male pigeons, observing their mating performances, discussing the rules and the decisions. It could almost be a study of the rituals of a remote tribe or of a group of children who, in the process of discovering the world, invent a new game.***************Photovison. 2011. Erstausgabe.
