Synopsis
- Features three visual essays by Swiss photographic artist Andreas Greber, exploring aesthetics and properties of analogue photography in the digital age
- First monograph on this artist
- Text in English and German
Light Scripture collects three photo essays by Swiss photographer Andreas Greber. Created over the course of two decades, Greber's photographs show simple scenes, such as fragments of a wall, translucent portraits, and wooded landscapes. Yet they are enigmatic and unsettling in that, while visible, their subjects escape the determination of shadow and light. For Greber, this is the essence of photography: inscribing with light.
Presented in a dual English-German edition, Light Scripture brings together thirty-three of Greber's photographs in a beautiful, large-format book. It takes readers through the artist's process in the creation of the series, which explores the aesthetics and properties of photography, with a special focus on how recent shifts in photography during the digital age call for a re-evaluation of its classic analogue variety. Greber's photographs are complemented by an essay by art critic Konrad Tobler.
Text in English and German.

Hardcover. Condition: Sehr gut. 1. Auflage. Z : 20.5 x 33 cm, 88 Seiten, 25 farbige und 8 s/w Abbildungen - Der Bildband vereinigt drei Fotoessays, die der Fotograf Andreas Greber in den letzten zwanzig Jahren entwickelt hat. Der Untertitel Analoge Reflexionen deutet an, dass im Zeitalter der digitalen Fotografie die Ästhetik und die Möglichkeiten der Fotografie neu befragt werden. Zu sehen sind ganz einfache Dinge wie Mauerfragmente, transparente Porträts und klassische Waldstücke. Alles erscheint in einer irritierenden Rätselhaftigkeit Grebers Bilder bewegen sich in einem Feld des sichtbar Unfassbaren. Sie entziehen sich jeder Fixierung, wie das Spiel von Schatten und Licht. So geht es hier um den Kern der Fotografie: um das «Schreiben» mit Licht. Ein Text von Konrad Tobler begleitet die Bildessays des Künstlers. Seller Inventory # ABE-1634113400747
