About this Item

Paul Graham, Troubled Land (signed). London, MACK Books, 2022. 234:305mm. Ca 84S. Durchgehende farb. illustr. Or.-Ln. Mit einer eingeklebter farb. illustr. Texte von Paul Graham. Vorwort von Declan McGonagle aus dem Jahre 1987. "Originally published by Grey Edition in 1986. A project made at the height of the ?Troubles? "Troubled Land" deals with the small but insistent signs of political division embedded in the landscape of Northern Ireland. In trying to tackle a project as large as Ireland in the 1980s during the throes of The Troubles, Graham made the cogent decision to visit Ireland, to understand his own colonial ambition in doing so, and to treat the subject matter of the Troubles at arm?s length and often from the car window. Many of the images in Troubled Land are born not from direct experience with the Troubles themselves, but rather from viewing ephemeral markings found on walls, Republican and Unionist painted curbs, disheveled political posters, littered garbage, . while still showcasing aspects of the beautifully constructed country that is expected from photographs.Troubled Land is the third and final book in the trilogy of Graham?s early work "Beyond Caring", and "A1-The Great North Road".""With those three works, "we can find an artist who has paved the way in asserting what is and what is not possible when regarding our desire to read, project on, and disassemble a photographic ima-ge." Zitiert nach Brad Feuerhelm" The signed edition includes a previously unpublished image as a plate signed by the artist and glued into the inside back cover.
