Hardcover. Condition: New. Janne Lehtinen's bleak yet arresting photographs of his hometown in the south of Finland are reproduced in this slim, elegant volume. In this new autobiographical project, Lehtinen takes us to Lehtiskyla, where the locals believe that everyone who comes to stay will meet with a sad, usually sinister and absolutely inevitable fate. The images and their accompanying memories--his sick uncle's little bottles of pills, a corpse floating in the river, the last meal eaten by his old horse, a schoolmate's accident--do not promise better things to come, yet there is a certain beauty to the 'curse' of Lehtiskyla. This very personal, melancholy album of photographs records the journey of Lehtinen and his cousin to their childhood house and other places of their youth. Preface by Jan Kaila. Text by Juha Lehtinen, Oiva Lehtinen. SEALED COPY.…

Published on the occasion of the exhibition "Christian Boltanski: Night in August," 22 August -- 4 October, 1998, at the Helsinki Festival. Fine. Christian Boltanski changed everything for a period of time in the 1970s and 1980s. That he continues to contribute meaningfully to the dialogue surrounding accumulation, archives, and loss is somewhat remarkable. His assembled collections, not quite typologies, demonstrate a humility and sensitivity to the suffering of, for instance, Jewish people devastated by the holocaust. He created shrines of remembrance, tacit souvenirs, where in their wake were only numbing statistics. Although Boltanski never really addresses the issue of anti-Semitism directly -- it is always oblique and general in interviews -- his work assumes a collective responsibility for some of history's greatest atrocities.…
