Add to basket(Photography) Lutter, Vera. A Ghost Still is Like a Place. Aspen: Meridian Printing for Baldwin Gallery, Aspen. 2011. 1st Edition. 9 1/8 x 10 1/8. [5], 24, [4] pp. Gray cloth lettered in silver. Illustrated with photographs by Lutter. Fine copy issued without a dust jacket. Signed by Vera Lutter on the title page. The poem Black Cat by Rainer Maria Rilke, from which the title of the book is taken, is printed on a page prior to the photographs. New York Times Magazine, September 26, 2021, article about her latest work in the ruins of Rome is included. Vera Lutter works with several forms of digital media, including image projection installation, film, and sound recording. In the early 1990s, the artist undertook her first experiments with the medium of pinhole photography. To capture a direct imprint of her environment, Lutter transformed the loft in which she lived into a camera obscura. Through the aperture of a pinhole, rather than a carved lens, an inverted image of the outside world was projected onto mural-sized sheets of photographic paper. Refraining from the reproducibility warranted by conventional photography, the artist retained the unique negative print in an effort to maintain the immediacy of her images. Lutter?s most prominent work utilizes a room-sized camera obscura to capture large black and white negative images. The subject matter of her images varies greatly between urban centers, industrial landscapes, abandoned factories, and transit sites, such as shipyards, airports, and train stations. Many of her images present locations in and around New York, including various views of Manhattan, the Pepsi Cola sign in Long Island City, Queens, Ground Zero in Lower Manhattan, and the former Nabisco factory in Beacon. Lutter has also worked internationally, making images at the Frankfurt airport, of the Battersea power station in London, Venice, and RheinBraun strip mining in Germany. More recent projects have focused on Ancient Greece (See September 26, 2021 New York Times Magazine), the Pyramids of Egypt, the Maria Laach Benedictine Abbey in Germany, and a series of images documenting the evolution of a construction site seen from her studio window. Shipped in a well-padded box.
