Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. The photographs are inspired by the world-famous French photographer Eugene Atget and the book is modeled after Walker Evans's famous book, 'American Photographs', published in 1938 by MOMA and considered one of the most important photo books published during the last century. Since Atget, no one has rendered Paris like Mike Kolster does in his photographs. Paris Park Photographs features spectacular images from a dozen public parks and gardens in and near France's capital city. Exploring many of the same places that photographer Eugene Atget (18571927) made famous a century ago, Michael Kolster references the pleasures and pitfalls of wandering alone amongst trees and plants and sculpture, unkempt and formally designed places, tempered by the knowledge that the modern world with all its congestion is only a few short steps away. These intimate yet inherently expansive views of Paris's parks invite closer scrutiny of the encounters awaiting us at the edges of the well-worn paths defining our daily lives. Few people venture into the frame of Kolster's photographs, but the promise of a renewed sense of hope and community resides in the details of his visual encounters and the moments of his heightened attention. Each picture speaks to us as a moment in time, even as the sequence suggests a choreography of place, one that can vary daily along with the changing moods and light of each park. Paris Park Photographs is presented in a bilingual English/French edition and concludes with an afterword by Michelle Kuo. Of note is how the book's design is inspired by Walker Evans's 1938 classic work, American Photographs, making Kolster's book of immediate interest to photo and book collectors. AUTHORS: Michael Kolster is a professor of art at Bowdoin College and a recipient of a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship in Photography. His photographs have been exhibited widely and are in numerous collections, including the American University of Paris, Brown University, Center for Creative Photography, George Eastman House of Film and Photography, High Museum of Art, Huntington Library, Museum of Contemporary Photography, Princeton University Art Museum Smith College Museum of Art, and Williams College Museum of Art. His previous books are Take Me to the River: Photographs of Atlantic Rivers (2016) and L.A. River (2019). Michelle Kuo is a writer, attorney, and currently an associate professor in the History, Law, and Society program at the American University of Paris. She is the author of Reading with Patrick: A Teacher, a Student, and a Life-Changing Friendship (2017), which was a finalist for the Dayton Literary Prize. Michael Kolster renders Pariss parks like no one since photographer Eugene Atget a century ago. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Three centuries ago, the Los Angeles River meandered through marshes and forests of willow and sycamore. Trout spawned in its waters, and grizzly bears roamed its shores in search of food. The river and its adjacent woodlands helped support one of the largest concentrations of indigenous peoples in North America, and it also largely determined the location of the first Spanish Pueblo and ultimately the city of Los Angeles. The river was also the city's sole source of water for more than a century before flood-control projects made the L.A. River what it is today. Michael Kolster, in L.A. River, relies on a nineteenth-century photographic technology to render the Los Angeles River today, from its headwaters in Canoga Park and the suburbs of the San Fernando Valley to its mouth at the Pacific Ocean in Long Beach. Coincidentally, the founding of the city of Los Angeles and California's achievement of statehood in 1850 coincide historically with the invention of the wet-plate photographic process, forever linking the city and state with the centrality of photography. The moving images that define L.A. River show a feature of the city's landscape that initially attracted native peoples to its banks and gave rise to the formation of our nation's second-largest city. Channeled in concrete during the last century to control flooding, the river was all but removed from the life of the city until the turn of the twenty-first century, when concerted efforts were made by some to peel back some of the concrete and to let nature live once again. In his photographic journey, Kolster considers both the past and present and how the accumulation of life along the river suggests a larger a role for the L.A. River in the lives of the city's inhabitants. AUTHOR: Michael Kolster is a photographer and associate professor of art at Bowdoin College who, in 2013, was a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellow in Photography. His photographs have been featured in Loupe, the Journal of the Photographic Resource Center at Boston University, Memorious, and Consilience -The Journal of Sustainability, and they are in the collections of the Capital One Financial Corporation, George Eastman House International Museum of Photography and Film, and Polaroid Corporation, among others. Kolster has numerous solo and two-person exhibitions, including those at Gallery 263 in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Page Bond Gallery in Richmond, Virginia, SRO Gallery at Texas Tech University, Schroeder Romero and Shredder Gallery in New York City, and 621 Gallery in Tallahassee, Florida. A powerful contemporary look at the Los Angeles River using nineteenth-century technology Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Hawai'i's "Big Island" is a place created by fire, being formed entirely from volcanic activity and currently home to four active volcanoes. The Big Island is also, due to its position relative to the North Pacific trash gyre, home to large amounts of plastic debris that the ocean deposits on its shores, particularly on its remote southwestern areas such as Kamilo Beach. Much effort has been made to remove this debris, with a fair amount of success over the years, but the flow of trash onto the beaches continues unabated and makes keeping these beaches clean a never-ending task. And the question arises: Does clearing the beaches of plastic waste, only to bury it elsewhere, actually help? Or does its removal make people less aware of the problem, since out of sight is out of mind? Photographer Michael Kolster became interested in the issue of plastic debris on Kamilo Beach through a paper from the Geological Society of America whose authors claimed that the plastic debris, when melted or otherwise combined with rocks on the beach, would become a horizon marker for the Anthropocene--that is, modern-day fossils that will document present-day humans' presence on Earth millions of years from now. Dubbed "plastiglomerates" by geologists, these hybrid "stones" are the product of humans burning plastic, whether intentionally or accidentally, that then melts and become fused with the naturally-occurring rocks that were created by volcanoes. These fusions of human and geological activity are likely to persist for thousands of millennia due to their prevalence, location, and composition. They form a record of the presence of present-day humans that will last long after we are gone, far into the unforeseeable future. Wanting to see these plastiglomerates for himself, Kolster traveled to Hawai'i, where he photographed Kamilo Beach and its plastiglomerates. He also collected examples of plastiglomerates that he took back to his home in Maine. Kolster's photographs of the plastiglomerates, both in Hawai'i and collected in his studio, show both the harsh reality and surprising beauty of plastic trash from the beaches of a Pacific paradise. While this trash can be viewed as both an eyesore and an insult to our ideas of what a tropical paradise should be like, Kolster also shows how seeing plastic on the beach is equivalent to looking in the mirror: We need to look closer at our reflection before impulsively wiping it clean, only to have to do it over and over day after day, week after week, endlessly. AUTHOR: Michael Kolster is currently professor of art at Bowdoin College, where he has taught since 2000. In 2013, he was awarded a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship in Photography. His work has been exhibited widely and is included in the permanent collections of numerous museums in the U.S and Europe, including the American University of Paris, Brown University, Center for Creative Photography, George Eastman House of Film and Photography, High Museum of Art, Huntington Library, Museum of Contemporary Photography, Princeton University Art Museum, Smith College Museum of Art, and Williams College Museum of Art. His previous books, all published with George F. Thompson Publishing, are Take Me to the River: Photographs of Atlantic Rivers (2016), L.A. River (2019), and Paris Park Photographs (2022). 126 colour, 17 b/w photos, 4 colour maps, 3 drawings Photographer Michael Kolster poignantly documents how plastics that wash ashore Hawaiis beaches are being combined with volcanic rocks to create a hybrid product of human and geological forces. These strangely beautiful modern-day fossils will form a record of present-day human activity that is likely to persist for thousands of millennia.

Hardback. Condizione: New. _Paris Park Photographs_ features spectacular images from a dozen public parks and gardens in and near France's capital city. Exploring many of the same places that photographer Eugène Atget (1857-1927) made famous a century ago, Michael Kolster references the pleasures and pitfalls of wandering alone amongst trees and plants and sculpture, unkempt and formally designed places, tempered by the knowledge that the modern world with all its congestion is only a few short steps away. These intimate yet inherently expansive views of Paris's parks invite closer scrutiny of the encounters awaiting us at the edges of the well-worn paths defining our daily lives.Few people venture into the frame of Kolster's photographs, but the promise of a renewed sense of hope and community resides in the details of his visual encounters and the moments of his heightened attention. Each picture speaks to us as a moment in time, even as the sequence suggests a choreography of place, one that can vary daily along with the changing moods and light of each park.
