"My neighbor June believes in Zeus" is the arresting opening sentence of Jason Fulford's latest photo book. At once humorous and full of reverence, Hotel Oracle is a sustained visual meditation on the cosmos--what constitutes it, what its future might be and how to reconcile the world of the supernatural with the world of the 99-cent store. Fulford's photos of everyday scenes and people search out the clues and signs of the prophetic and the numinous, readily mingling them with the banal and the preposterous. The pictures in Hotel Oracle were taken in the US, Canada, Italy, Greece, the Czech Republic, Poland, South Korea, Japan, Hungary, India, Bermuda and Germany. Fulford is a photographer, cofounder of J&L Books and a contributing editor to Blind Spot magazine. His books include Sunbird (2000), Crushed (2003), Raising Frogs For $ $ $ (2006) and The Mushroom Collector (2010). Limited stock available.

Nato da un viaggio in Grecia che ha portato l'autore a riflettere su come i significati di un luogo possano essere puramente convenzionali, quindi su come si possano fare acquisire significati diversi a cose o a immagini a seconda della nostra volontà e capacità di raccontare storie, Hotel Oracle si presenta come la ricerca di indizi profetici tra il banale e l'insensatezza quotidiana.Jason Fulford, fotografo e co-fondatore di J&L Books.
