Elin Hansdottir: path
$28.00
(available to order)
Summary:
Elín Hansdóttir's installation “Path” consists of a narrow tunnel that zigzags through a gallery or a museum. Light enters through vertical and horizontal slits that resemble cracks in the structure; sound effects further add to the disorientation. This volume examines the work, and contains an introduction by Rebecca Solnit, author of Wanderlust and A Field Guide to Getting Lost.

Summary:
This publication is Trevor Paglen's first photographic monograph. Social scientist, artist, writer and provocateur, Paglen has been exploring the secret activities of the U.S. military and intelligence agencies--the "black world"--for the last eight years, publishing, speaking and making astonishing photographs. As an artist, Paglen is interested in the idea of photography as truth-telling, but his pictures often stop short of traditional ideas of documentation. In the series Limit Telephotography, for example, he employs high-end optical systems to photograph top-secret governmental sites; and in The Other Night Sky, he uses the data of amateur satellite watchers to track and photograph classified spacecraft in Earth's orbit. In other works Paglen transforms documents such as passports, flight data and aliases of CIA operatives into art objects. Rebecca Solnit contributes a searing essay that traces this history of clandestine military activity on the American landscape.

Qui a été historiquement réduit au silence, et pourquoi ? Comment les femmes et les minorités sont-elles parvenues à récupérer, ou non, leur parole ? En quoi un changement politique est-il avant tout un changement de récit ?Pour répondre à ces questions, Rebecca Solnit balaye un grand nombre de sujets, de l'histoire des droits civiques et de l'esclavage à la culture du viol dans les campus américains, en passant par la masculinité toxique.On retrouve ici la vivacité d'esprit de l'auteure, son opiniâtreté à déjouer tout ce qui, dans la culture, dans les institutions, dans la sphère publique, entend amoindrir la parole des femmes et réduire leur place. Rebecca Solnit met au jour les normes sous-jacentes contenues dans nos discours.

Summary:
In this book, Rebecca Solnit explores the ways we make our lives out of stories, and how we are connected by empathy, by narrative, by imagination. In the course of unpacking some of her own stories—of her mother and her decline from memory loss, of a trip to Iceland, of an illness—Solnit revisits fairytales and entertains other stories: about arctic explorers, Che Guevara among the leper colonies, and Mary Shelley’s Dr. Frankenstein, about warmth and coldness, pain and kindness, decay and transformation, making art and making self. Woven together, these stories create a map which charts the boundaries and territories of storytelling, reframing who each of us is and how we might tell our story.
