Description
3 volumes : chiefly illustrations (color and b&w). Title from glassine paper band around volumes. "First self-published edition of 30." --band. vol. 1. Elasticity of Time -- vol. 2. Merging of Space -- vol. 3. Layers of Sociality. "Focusing on the overlapped realm of photography and travel, Distant Flash attempts to explore how the photographic practice can intervene and transform our embodied experience, not replace it, with our own initiative at play. The artwork takes its form in a three-volume photobook set. The photographs are deliberately curated and "installed" within the printed mediums, constructing immersive ways of viewing similar to an exhibition in a physical space. Each volume activates one of the three aspects of experience (Time, Space, and Sociality) that are altered under the mediation of the photo-taking act." --Doris Liu. "Reproduction of the author's thesis book on the topic "How Photography Intervenes with and Transforms Our Experience (in Travel)" for her MFA degree at Pratt Institute, Brooklyn [2023]. It includes the full version of an argumentative essay, study on precedents in the art and design field, and the archive of and reflection on relevant projects around the thesis, among which Distant Flash photobook set is a crucial component." --edited from the author's website (designdorisliu) Each volume has reflective silver paper covers and can be read from front and back covers once the text is flipped. Text in English and Chinese.
