CHRONOLOGIES" - Sealed Photography by Richard Misrach Published by Fraenkel Gallery, San Francisco, CA, 2005First Edition, First (and only) Printing Richard Misrach is among the most influential, prolific, and internationally recognized photographers working today. Yet Misrach’s lifetime project, the Desert Cantos series, with its individual segments divided up between the terrain, events (the landing of a space shuttle, military testing), floods, and fires, has as much to do with social issues as with man’s presence within nature. Misrach consistently addresses political and social issues through the adaptation of different photographic strategies, even as he expands notions of traditional landscape practice, and builds a complex and poignant document of American culture. His subjects have included manmade floods and fires, military bombing ranges, mass graves of dead animals, sublime night skies, and details of paintings housed in the museums of the Southwest. In one recent publication, On the Beach , which was inspired by Nevil Shute's post-apocalyptic novel of the 1950’s (On the Beach is a post-apocalyptic end-of-the-world novel written by British-Australian author Nevil Shute after he had immigrated to Australia. It was published in 1957), Misrach's color photographs deal with the human figure seen at a distance on an unspecified beach; or in the water, observed from an unsettling and difficult-to-identify point of view located high above. Misrach's publication “Chronologies” is a compelling study of the photographer's process over the past 30 years. Stripped of their original context, the photographs (presented in chronological order) illuminate how the photographer thinks and works. Through stops and starts, reiterations and detours, the work evolves and matures, weaving in and out of the Series for which Misrach has become known. Side-by-side, classic images, and never-before-seen pictures flush out the photographer's logic, but complicate it at the same time. Ultimately, Chronologies is about time ; the span of thirty years, the importance of time in each photograph, the chronology of a life within its time, and the book itself, as a timepiece. A very impressive work indeed.This hardcover book with protective dust jacket is offered in AS NEW condition, and still under Publisher's wraps .
