Synopsis
"Material is what we start with and material is what we are left with. It is all there is." Peter Fraser uses photography to investigate the physical substance of the world and to question the way in which we perceive our surroundings. Material contains two of his most recent series in which he invokes the camera's democratic way of looking to analyze the different kinds of materials from which the world appears to be constituted. He has cast himself in the role of an explorer gathering evidence of another world, selectively documenting the mundane and the extraordinary. The first series of photographs was made in the laboratories of an applied physics department where he photographed the tools designed to measure the nature of matter, the very exploration of which he is engaged in with his camera. The second series gives form to the everyday mess and grime which permeates our surroundings, the detritus and decrepitude which is the ultimate destination of all organic matter and the antithesis of the sterile high-tech laboratories.
The combination of these two series in Material creates a book which probes, with conceptual acuity, the notion that matter is the primary substance of all living and non-living things."About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.

Hardcover (Printed Boards). Condition: Very Good. Peter Fraser [Photographs] (illustrator). First Edition. "Material is what we start with and material is what we are left with. It is all there is." So says Peter Fraser, who uses photography to investigate the physical substance of the world and to question the way in which we perceive our surroundings. Material contains two of his most recent series, in which Fraser evokes the camera's democratic way of looking in order to analyze the different kinds of materials from which the world appears to be constituted. Casting himself in the role of an explorer gathering evidence of another world, Fraser selectively documents the mundane and the extraordinary. Made in the laboratories of an applied physics department, the first series included herein depicts the tools designed to measure the nature of matter, the very exploration of which Fraser is already engaged in with his camera. The second series, and the antithesis of the first, gives form to the everyday mess and grime that permeate our surroundings, the detritus and decrepitude that are the ultimate destination of all organic matter. As the sum of these two bodies of work, Material probes the notion that matter is the primary substance of all living and non-living things. Illustrator: Peter Fraser [Photographs].

Peter Fraser: Material
Seller: Loring art (Barcelona), MÁLAGA, MA, Spain
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Encuadernación de tapa dura. Condition: Nuevo. Dust Jacket Condition: Aceptable. El libro está nuevo, sin embargo la materia del cartón de la cubierta ha sufrido el paso del tiempo. "Lo material es con lo que empezamos y lo material es lo que nos queda. Es todo lo que hay". Así dice Peter Fraser, que utiliza la fotografía para investigar la sustancia física del mundo y cuestionar el modo en que percibimos nuestro entorno. Material contiene dos de sus series más recientes, realizada en los laboratorios de un departamento de física aplicada, la primera serie incluida aquí muestra las herramientas diseñadas para medir la naturaleza de la materia. La segunda serie, y la antítesis de la primera, da forma al desorden y la suciedad cotidianos que impregnan nuestro entorno, el detritus y la decrepitud que son el destino final de toda la materia orgánica. A través de estos dos conjuntos de obras, Material, pone a prueba la noción de que la materia es la sustancia primaria de todas las cosas vivas y no vivas. Seller Inventory # ABE-1671627546219
