Condition: New. 1st Edition. Rare Book/ out of print. Condition is new. Ships from Maine, USA. ---------- Dolezal and Shipley return to their home region of the Ozarks in the American Midwest, where locals persist in their search for a legendary floating orb of light that can only be seen from the Devil's Promenade. It's a lushly wooded road in an area where wanderers flock to seek possible redemption, or just to escape the boredom and darkness of ordinary rural life. Subtle but revealing portraits are mixed with archives and reinterpretations of mythical, folkloric tales. It's a nuanced, mysterious and tender representation by photographers returning to the place where they grew up, but also reveals the current, stark realities of a remote place in America.…

paperback. Condition: Fine. Testo di Lara Shipley ("A Strange Light", The Kansas Star, 1964). Fotografie a colori di Lara Shipley & Antone Dolezal e fotografie d'archivio . 8vo (23x18 cm). pp. 44. Firme autografe degli Artisti (Signed by the Artists). Ottimo (Fine). . Prima edizione di 125 esemplari (First edition of 125 copies). . In SLC vol. 2 artists Lara Shipley & Antone Dolezal transport the viewer past Spook Light Road to explore an old relic once known as the Spook Light Museum. This shack in the woods, a museum only in the loosest of definitions, was a legendary hang out for generations of teens. It had a series of owners, all of whom adopted the name and identity of 'Spooky,' making them impossible to distinguish in the stories locals still tell. The stories often elevate the man to myth. He is sometimes referred to as the Phosphorescent Man, both as an ode to his knowledge of Spook Light history and for his own ethereal nature. 'Spooky would often roam the road fully nude, murmuring his song Come See the Spook Light Tonight and sway to the sound of his own voice. I swear some nights he was calling on the Devil himself,' revealed one Ozark man, referencing a common feeling that if the Devil was a real flesh and blood entity, seeing him out on the backwoods road at night wasn't too far fetched. In SLC vol. 2 gli artisti Lara Shipley e Antone Dolezal trasportano lo spettatore oltre la Spook Light Road per esplorare un'antica reliquia un tempo nota come Spook Light Museum. Questa baracca nel bosco, un "museo" solo nella più vaga delle definizioni, è stato un luogo di ritrovo leggendario per generazioni di adolescenti. Ebbe nel tempo una serie di proprietari che adottarono il nome e l'identità generica di "Spooky", rendendoli impossibili da distinguere nelle storie che la gente del posto racconta ancora.Le storie spesso elevano l'uomo a mito. A volte viene indicato come l'Uomo Fosforescente, sia come un'ode alla sua conoscenza della storia di Spook Light sia per la sua stessa natura eterea. "Spooky spesso vagava per la strada completamente nudo, mormorando la sua canzone 'Come See the Spook Light Tonight' e ondeggiando al suono della sua stessa voce. Giuro che alcune notti chiamava il diavolo in persona", ha rivelato un uomo di Ozark, riferendosi alla sensazione comune che se il diavolo è una entità in carne e ossa, vederlo lì di notte sulla strada dei boschi non era troppo inverosimile.

paperback. Condition: Fine. Fotografie a colori di Lara Shipley & Antone Dolezal, fotografie d'archivio, riproduzione di documenti. Testi in inglese degli autori e un saggio di Lara Shipley . 8vo (23x18 cm). pp. 60. Firme autografe degli Artisti (Signed by the Artists). Ottimo (Fine). . Prima edizione di 125 esemplari (First edition of 125 copies). . In SLC vol. 3 ? We always lie to strangers ? artists Lara Shipley and Antone Dolezal take the viewer further down the winding road and past the Spook Light Museum to meet the enduring dwellers who continue to pass down traditional Ozark folktales. In the backwoods community often wary of outsiders, the artists have encountered an eclectic mixture of lonely souls hiding in the shadows and prospering characters living an independent life off the land. Shipley and Dolezal have spent the past three years meeting these locals and collecting a variety of Ozark folktales that are presented in a series of photographs and nonfiction personal accounts in vol. 3 In a place where tall-tales are still passed around campfires and Sunday morning prayers can be heard drifting through the rolling hills, it's hard to dismiss the importance of the Ozark folkloric traditions. To discard these stories as just another yarn conceived of by country folk, is to ignore the unique culture that makes this region distinct ? where the desire for myth can provide a reprieve from the realities of life, as long as people keep telling the tales.By the end of that volume, the question is answered. The reason she or he keeps coming back to the dark woods of the Ozarks is the Spook Light, a light that comes out at night to haunt the locals. What is this Spook Light? Is it a natural, man-made or supernatural phenomenon? Is the mysterious light that floats along the Bible Belt hotspot of Devil's Promenade really Satan in disguise, or is it car lights from Route 66 reflected through the forests and the glades, or is it a manifestation of the spiritual baggage that weighs so heavy on the few souls who live in this isolated corner of the United States? In SLC vol. 3 ? We always lie to strangers ? gli artisti Lara Shipley e Antone Dolezal portano lo spettatore lungo (e oltre) la strada tortuosa dello Spook Light Museum per incontrare gli abitanti che continuano a tramandare i racconti popolari tradizionali di Ozark. Nella comunità dei boschi, spesso diffidenti nei confronti degli estranei, gli artisti hanno incontrato un miscuglio eclettico di anime solitarie che si nascondono nell'ombra e personaggi che vivono una vita lontano da quella terra. Shipley e Dolezal hanno trascorso gli ultimi tre anni incontrando le persone del posto e collezionando una varietà di racconti popolari di Ozark che sono presentati in una serie di fotografie e racconti personali nel vol. 3. In un luogo in cui si raccontano ancora storielle intorno ai fuochi da campo e si possono ascoltare le preghiere della domenica mattina tra le dolci colline, è difficile ignorare l'importanza delle tradizioni folcloristiche di Ozark. In questa regione il desiderio del mito può fornire una tregua dalla realtà della vita, almeno finché le persone continuano a raccontare storie.Il motivo per cui lei o lui continua a tornare nei boschi oscuri degli Ozarks è la Spook Light, una luce che si manifesta di notte per inseguire la gente del posto. Cos'è questa luce spettrale? È un fenomeno naturale, artificiale o soprannaturale? La luce misteriosa che fluttua lungo l'hotspot della Bible Belt di Devil's Promenade è davvero Satana travestito, o sono le luci delle auto della Route 66 riflesse attraverso le foreste e le radure, o è una manifestazione del bagaglio spirituale che pesa così pesantemente sulle poche anime che vivono in questo angolo isolato degli Stati Uniti?
