Items related to Yuri Dojc Last Folio
The first country to adopt Nazi Germany's anti-Jewish policies, Slovakia transported three-quarters of its Jewish population to concentration camps in a matter of months, including Yuri Dojc's grandfather. Many years later, Dojc returned to his ancestor's home, camera in hand. Serendipity led him to an abandoned Jewish school in eastern Slovakia, where time had stood still since the day in 1943 when all those attending were taken away to the camps. What he found inside, as well as in the abandoned synagogues and cemeteries he visited, were the remnants of a dynamic culture that disappeared in an instant. These haunting photographs of decaying books, fragments of the Torah, splintered gravestones and the vacant, crumbling building, evoke a lost way of life. The photographs' vibrant colours, exquisite detail and near abstract composition tell us more about how the people lived than how they died. Among the many hundreds of books and fragments, one stands out especially, one which miraculously found its way from dusty pile to its rightful heir, a book once owned by Yuri's grandfather, Jakub. Beautifully reproduced in this volume, Dojc's exquisite images are both artistically and historically powerful.

Book Description gebunden. Condition: Neu. Neu -Vor mehr als zehn Jahren besuchte der mittlerweile in Kanada lebende Fotograf Yuri Dojc erstmals seinen Heimatort im Osten der Slowakei. Er begab sich dort auf Spurensuche nach den Wurzeln seiner jüdischen Familie und traf mit Überlebenden der Shoa zusammen. Auf der Suche nach Zeugnissen dieser verschwundenen Welt fand er eine verfallene jüdische Schule, die seit dem Abtransport der Schüler und Lehrer die Zeitläufe vollkommen unberührt überdauert hatte. Auf den Tischen und in den Schränken lagen die Schulbücher und Hefte, konserviert von einer zentimeterdicken Staubschicht. Unter diesen vielen hundert Büchern entdeckte Yuri Dojc durch Zufall ein Buch, das einst seinem Großvater gehört hatte. »In den Büchern liegt die Seele aller gewesenen Zeit.« (Thomas Carlyle) (Text dt., engl.)\\nErscheinungsdatum: 27.04.2015 Schlagwörter: holocaust, slowakei, judentum, synagoge, jüdische emigration, jüdische geschichte, pogrom, genozid, ausschwitz, kz, tora Autor: Yuri Dojc, Katya Krausova Sachgruppen: Geisteswissenschaften, Kunst, Musik, Kunst, Fotografie, Film, Video, TV Preisänderung: 01.04.2023 Anzahl Seiten: 128 Format: 32,00 x 30,00 x 3,00 cm VergleichspreisMax: 39,95 128 pp. Deutsch, Englisch.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. NEW! Large (12.5 inches tall x 11.5 inches wide) and heavily color photography illustrated, this book shows us how truly ancient books fade away. The statement on the back says it well: "Books in these photographs are not merely objects. As they disintegrate into dust, the camera illustrates how that moment of disintegration is also a moment of intense energy and movement, one last glorious statement of defiance, resisting both death and oblivion." At 3 pounds, extra postage outside the US will be needed. The jacket does have a small tear at the top back edge, appears to have happened during shipment to here, hence listed 'AS NEW'.
