Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. "Contact Sheet No.159: Archipelago - Private Mental Spaces in Personal Relationships" by Yolanda del Amo. It was published by Robert S. Menschel, Light Days Media Center as Modern Photography Gallery Exhibition, which ran from December 1 to December 23, 2010. From the Introduction by Mary Goodwin : |> Lives lived together can grow closer or more distant in the vast space opened up by silence. In moments when words become superfluous, thoughts, reactions, and feelings do the work of keeping people together or driving them apart. Artist Yolanda del Amo explores the tender terrain between people in her series "Archipelago", a sophisticated suite of images that brings the importance of these moments of emotional connective tissue to light. She photographs family, friends, and acquaintances in various settings around the world as they perform scenes that suggest a universal narrative of human relationships. |> In naming her series, del Amo uses a metaphor that describes the turbulent nature of intimacy. Concerned with the geography of human interaction, del Amo depicts the natural forces that lie just below the surface of relationships between people - their conflicting needs for intimacy and connection, independence, and individuality. In "Archipelago", these competing forces seem to have reached a temporary stasis. Del Amo's beautiful images show people completely submerged in their own inner worlds even when they are in the presence of others, in private rooms and public spaces.<| SERIES : Contact Sheet ( No. 159) TITLE : Archipelago AUTHOR / PHOTOGRAPHS / TEXT EXCERPTS : Yolanda del Amo GALLERY EXHIBITION DATE : December 1 - December 23, 2010 INTRODUCTION : Mary Goodwin (Associate Director, Light Days) IMPRINT : Robert B.
