Soft cover. Condizione: As New. Condizione sovraccoperta: None, As Issued. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 30 pages. Published in 2012. Commemorative Catalog.

In publisher's original, pristine-white envelope. Without DJ, as issued. Presents, in a Commemorative Souvenir format, Erika Diettes' "Sudarios". Heart-rending. "My decision to create this work comes from some questions which have remained from previous photographic series. They are consequences of the same process which began with my Series, 'Silencios' (2004), which deals with survivors of the Second World War who live in Colombia. They are also to be found in 'Rio Abajo' (2008), a Series which deals with the victims of forced disappearance, and 'A Punta de Sangre' (2008), a Series in which I examine the idea of the search for the bodies of The Disappeared by their families who, in the midst of despair, find a ray of hope in the vultures that might lead them to the remains of their loved ones. I have received the testimonies of more than 300 victims of the violence in Colombia. They have confided intimacies of this violence to me: Not only its harrowing details, but the way they rebuild their lives and keep going despite what they have suffered. Many times, with my camera, I have been a witness of the moment when people have to close their eyes as they recall the event which divided their life into two parts. The intention of the 'Sudarios' Series is to enable the spectator to enter into and walk through these impenetrable and apparently alien worlds, when he observes that moment in which these women close their eyes because they find no other way to communicate the true dimension of the horror which they witnessed and the intensity of the sorrow they were subjected to. The women are first-hand witnesses of acts of horror. They were forced to feel on their own flesh or in front of their own eyes that there is no difference between man and the most savage beasts of nature. Or rather, that there is a difference, and it is that we are the only species capable of mass murder and the only ones who do not adapt to our own kind" (Erika Diettes). Erika Diettes holds a Master's Degree in Anthropology and was recently selected as one of the leading 180 thinkers in Latin America. Like Boltanski's work, Diettes' imagery resonates precisely because she uses the most basic elements of a human life. As such, her work is a radical departure from the more elaborate, ritualistic, even fetishistic photography we generically associate with Latin America (she is, after all, an anthropologist/social thinker as well as an artist/photographer, of the first rank in both instances). An absolute "must-have" title for Erika Diettes collectors. This Commemorative Souvenir is now collectible. As far as we know, this is the only copy available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A rare copy thus. 25 plates. One of the most brilliant artist/photographers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER ERIKA DIETTES TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). no. …

Original textured black paper-covered boards with blind-stamp and black and red lettering on white label of cover. Black endpapers. No slipcase. "In Drifting Away my intention is to draw attention to some of the victims of forced disappearances of the Colombian armed conflict. The project is a response to a number of press reports and news broadcasts which explain how the paramilitary and the guerrillas torture people, mutilate them and make them disappear by throwing their bodies into a river. Tis is the source of the saying that the rivers of Colombia are the world's largest graveyard. I started by looking for clothing or objects belonging to people who had disappeared in Bogotá, an then I went out to the areas of conflict in visits to Eastern Antioquia, Caquetá and Medellin, amongst other places. During these macabre visits I was able to talk to the families of the victims, who are indeed the voice of all Colombia, clamoring not only for the respect for life, but also for the right to be able to bury their dead. From a technical point of view, I decided to represent the idea of the river literally, submerging the clothing or objects in water, in order to highlight the way in which the turbulence of the water is also a leading feature of the image. I also decided to print on glass to give the feeling of ethereal and fragility character of the image - and so therefore, of life in those parts of our country." (E. Diettes). Illustrated with sixteen prints of digital photographs showing images from the series "de la serie" in various sizes as described above, with captions. Publisher's and Diettes contact info printed to last page. Visual Artist Erika Diettes lives and works in Bogotá, Colombia, exploring issues of memory, pain, absence and death. Her most recent work, Sudarios, was showcased in the 2012 Fotofest Biennial, the Festival de la Luz in Buenos Aires, the Ex Teresa Arte Actual in Mexico City, and the Ballarat Foto Biennale in Australia, among others. Diettes' photographic works are part of the permanent collection of major museums, including the Museum of Fine Arts Houston, and has been exhibited at the Museums of Modern Art of Bogotá, Cali, Medellín and Barranquilla; the National Museum of Colombia; the Museum of Contemporary Art in Santiago de Chile; the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston and others.…

One of the most valuable photography books of our time. Limited Slipcased Edition of 250 numbered and signed copies. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions, of which there are many, mainly exhibition catalogs, all of them sourced from this Artist Book. There is no ISBN. The Limited Edition is now rare. An austerely elegant production by Erika Diettes: Oversize-volume format. Black cloth boards with titles printed on white stock paper that is pasted on the cover, as issued. Photographs by Erika Diettes. Essay by Miguel Gonzalez in both the Spanish original and felicitous English translation. Each original color transparency is hand-tipped into a pristine-white, thick card-stock paper to the highest standards. They must be seen and experienced in all their beauty, power, and sheer innovativeness in their use of the book format. Handmade black cloth slipcase. Without DJ, as issued. Presents, in its Limited Edition collectible format, Erika Diettes' "Rio Abajo/Drifting Away". As conceived and realized, a perfect book. A luminous sequence of photographs that Diettes originally produced on transparent 60 X 35.5 inch (5 X 2 feet) life-size glass. How many photographs have you seen printed on glass or transparency (which means that they have no "back" side, the images can be viewed on both sides) ? Not very many, if at all. In a stroke of brilliance, Diettes chose glass and transparency because they both evoke River and Water, Colombia's fluids, evocatively and powerfully, and in a way that the regular photographic print cannot. "The rivers of Colombia are the largest graveyards in the world, favored places to dispose of the victims of the country's civil war. Out of this tragedy, Erika Diettes has created a powerful body of work about loss and memory in her photographs of personal articles once owned by The Disappeared. Her work is in the Permanent Collection of The Museum of Fine Arts Houston, among other major venues, and is exhibited alongside that of Christian Boltanski and Gordon Matta-Clark" (Publisher's blurb). Like Boltanski's work, Diettes' imagery resonates precisely because she uses the most basic elements of a human life, in this case, the articles of clothing that were recovered from the bodies of people murdered in Colombia's unending armed conflict. As such, her work is a radical departure from the more elaborate, ritualistic, even fetishistic photography we generically associate with Latin America (she is, after all, an anthropologist/social thinker as well as an artist/photographer, of the first rank in both instances). An absolute "must-have" title for Erika Diettes collectors. This is a copy of the Limited Slipcased Edition of 250 numbered and signed copies, blind-stamped and numbered as such on the Back Limitation Page. It is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed in black ink-pen by Erika Diettes. Each original color transparency is blind-stamped on recto by the artist/photographer. The black cloth slipcase is made by hand. This title is a great Artist Book. As far as we know, this is the only copy of the Limited Edition available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: The life-size glass prints have been acquired by museums and private collections for thousands of dollars apiece. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative, on a more intimate scale, of this masterpiece. A rare signed copy thus. 15 original color transparency prints. One of the most brilliant artist/photographers of our time. A fine collectible copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER ERIKA DIETTES TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). Signed by Author.…
