Teju Cole. Golden Apple of the Sun (Signed). London, MACK Books, 2021. 257:195mm. 136S. Durchgehend farb. illustr. Or.-Ln. Text und Fotografie von Teju Cole. "Teju ?Cole?s juxtapositions of form and content ? words and pictures ? make us freshly see the genres, places, and everyday occurrences we thought we knew.? (Los Angeles Review of Books).From September 28 to November 3, 2020 "Teju Cole began to photograph his kitchen counter in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Working in the still life tradition of Chardin, Cezanne, and the Dutch masters, as well as such contemporary photographers as Laura Letinsky and Jan Groover, he photographed every day over the course of five weeks. Unlike those illustrious forbears, Cole left his arrangements entirely to chance, ?the bowls and plates moving in their unpredictable constellations.? What emerges is a surprising portrait, across time, of one kitchen counter in one home at a time of social, cultural, and political upheaval. Alongside the photographs is a long written essay, as wide-ranging in its concerns?hunger, fasting, mourning, slavery, intimacy, painting, poetry and the history of photography?as the photographs are delimited in theirs. The text and photographic sequences are interspersed with an anonymous handwritten eighteenth century cookbook from Cambridge. Exemplar von den Künstler signiert. ". Seller Inventory # 190127
