Summary:
This book features images by American photographer William Wylie (b. 1957) taken over the course of five years. The photographs reanimate the ancient city of Pompeii, showing the ongoing cycles of deterioration and preservation that mark it as a living landscape. Wylie captures Pompeii’s former grandeur, including its terracotta reliefs and wall paintings, while also drawing attention to the signs of an active excavation site, from plaster casts in glass cases to ceramic fragments in storage facilities. His elegant compositions and command of light and shadow highlight how natural phenomena, pollution, and human intervention are continually reshaping the city. People, however, are notably absent in the photographs. Wylie beautifully documents Pompeii’s present by engaging with the tenuous relationship that the archaeological site maintains with the past.

Summary:
"With every step forward we leave a backward trace. A footprint in wet sand is ephemeral but photographs fill a drawer and linger and haunt us; letters and journals call out to be read.

Summary:
"With every step forward we leave a backward trace. A footprint in wet sand is ephemeral but photographs fill a drawer and linger and haunt us; letters and journals call out to be read. We don’t really want our lives and the activities and objects that filled them to be lost and forgotten. Not really. It is our sop against oblivion, and out of our desire to be in the company of others that we store and sort and arrange the material evidence of our having been here. The ordering of these artifacts brings sense and coherence to lives that seem fleeting and without conclusive purpose. Our collections—whatever it is that composes them—take an almost imitative corporeal form that we feel may represent us as we are and have been. I am here; this is what I have done; my accomplishments have been assembled and are shown. An Archive."
