Synopsis:
In the imagined world of Scotlandfuturebog, photographers Nicholas Kahn and Richard Selesnick elegantly document a world both gloriously absurdist and sublime. The subjects of their images are mute bog dwellers, and the sole inhabitants of a postapocalyptic Earth. In the romance of this historical vacuum, common logic has no relevance. The viewer must relinquish the desire to contextualize, as creating rational pretexts for the masked characters and their strange rituals is futile. Eerie and stylish, these inventive images blur the line between fact and fiction and skew our sense of historical photographic truth as they explore the nexus between discovered and invented history. In this deluxe, limited-edition book, a number of the artists' stunning panoramic images are printed on vellum. The transparency of the material and the overlapping it creates between images reference the delicate separation between worlds real and imagined, past and future, us and the strange inhabitants of Kahn and Selesnick's world.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Signed by the Photographers slight bump to one corner.\n\nalthough sign this does not come in the slip case the numbered copies did.\n\nScotland Future Bog Published by Aperture Lavishly printed and well presented in Red Cloth with illustrated Dust Wrap In an imagined world, photographers Nicholas Kahn and Richard Selesnick construct a strange and beautiful environment that they describe as being of infinite promise that cannot possibly be described or communicated except by direct experience. The characters we meet are bogdwellers, sole inhabitants of a planet emptied by an apocalyptic event. Left to perform obscure ceremonies in a terrain that is as intriguing as it is uninviting, the bogdwellers exist in a historical vacuum. Scotlandfuturebog skews our sense of photographic truth as it explores the nexus between discovered and invented history. Nicholas Kahn and Richard Selesnick, born in New York City and London, respectively, have been collaborating for more than a decade. They have exhibited internationally, in such galleries as Monique Knowlton, New York, Pepper Gallery, Boston, and The Royal Photographic Society, Bath, England. Their work is held in the collections of The National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian Institute, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, as well as many private collections. ISBN 0-89381-935-2.
