Synopsis
Beautiful, Still. is the first monograph from photographer Colby Deal, documenting the people, objects, and environments of everyday life in the Third Ward neighbourhood in Houston, Texas, where the artist grew up. In this ongoing project, currently consisting of over a thousand negatives, Deal sets out to provide a visual record of overlooked communities and the cultural characteristics gradually being erased by gentrification, as well as a depiction of communities of colour whose members are often portrayed with negative connotations. Through these instinctive black-and-white photographs, Deal’s down-to-earth approach to his subjects is made apparent; at times candid and blurred, other times poised and sharply focussed, the series builds to convey the dynamism and vibrancy of family, community, and individual life in the Third Ward. The scratches and dust left on the negatives reflect the marks of lived life and simultaneously suggest the fragility of these documents and the corresponding precarity of the fabrics of social life they often depict. Deal’s almost conversational tone ― the anthesis of media portrayals of the neighbourhood ― invites his viewers in with a sense of joy and intuitive playfulness. From these alternately staged and documentary images, a new narrative emerges about a reductively and oppressively narrativized place, celebrating the agency and freedom that the photographic medium can offer.

hardcover. Condition: As New. Prima edizione (First Edition). Un saggio di Garry Reece e una poesia di Hakeem Furious. Fotografie in bianco e nero di Colby Deal . Cm 28x24. pp. 160. . Perfetto (Mint). . Prima edizione (First Edition). . Beautiful, Still è la prima monografia del fotografo Colby Deal, che documenta le persone, gli oggetti e gli ambienti della vita quotidiana nel quartiere Third Ward di Houston, Texas, dove l'artista è cresciuto. In questo progetto in corso, attualmente composto da oltre mille negativi, Deal si propone di fornire una documentazione visiva delle comunità trascurate e delle caratteristiche culturali che vengono gradualmente cancellate dalla gentrificazione, nonché una rappresentazione delle comunità nere i cui membri sono spesso ritratti con connotazioni negative. I graffi e la polvere lasciati sui negativi riflettono i segni della vita vissuta e suggeriscono contemporaneamente la fragilità di questi documenti e la corrispondente precarietà dei tessuti della vita sociale che spesso ritraggono. Da queste immagini, che si alternano a messinscene e documentari, emerge una nuova narrazione di un luogo riduttivamente e oppressivamente narrato, che celebra la libertà che il mezzo fotografico può offrire.
