Artist: James Geurts Publisher: Perimeter Editions 208 pages / 24 x 17 cm / cold glue perfect bind / edition 600 “Archival photographs of the Birrarung (Yarra River) sourced from S tate Library Victoria, Museums Victoria and Melbourne Water collections. Photographs of Yarra River sites and neon sculptural works at historic points of intervention. Essay. Site-specific works on paper at points of river intervention, processed though reconfigured scanner as site actions. Floodplain, the new book by Melbourne-based artist James Geurts, not only traces the photographic history of Melbourne’s iconic river – its floods, infrastructure and geographical significance – but expands on the cultural and environmental implications of our acts of intervention. Published to coincide with Geurts’ exhibition of the same title at the National Gallery of Victoria, Floodplain forms a wider treatise about the mythology of the flood and the fallacies of environmental colonialism.“ ー Perimeter Editions James Geurtsは地理学や時間といった多次元を、パブリックアート、彫刻、インスタレーション、ビデオ、写真によるコンセプチュアルなプロセスを用い作品を制作する。本作品はヤラ川の氾濫源を作品にしたシリーズ。貯蔵された過去のアーカイブ写真と現代の氾濫源にネオン彫刻を施した写真を用いた。また、過去の氾濫源地点の調査書をスキャン（スキャナーに内蔵されるネオン）し、ある意味、氾濫の行為として再構築した。 ー Perimeter Editionsより 国内送料無料 Show more
