Nausea - taken from the title of Sartre’s 1938 existential novel - is a body of photographs that registers the interiors of public schools in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and Atlanta, Ge orgia from 1990-199292 by American photographer Ron Jude. Departing from mere documentation, Jude lures us into peering through windows, doorways and crevices of walls into empty classrooms and corridors, as we become increasingly conscious of the perils of our own gaze. Rousing, rather than abating, the uncertainty of looking, Nausea established the building blocks for the next twenty-five years of Jude’s photographic output, including Other Nature, Alpine Star, Lick Creek Line and Lago. To mark the 25th anniversary of the inaugural exhibition of Nausea in 1992 at The Photographers’ Gallery in London, Jude has made an entirely new edit of this work. Many of the photographs in this volume have never before been published or exhibited. Thanks to MACK (United Kingdom). 96 pages, 26 x 22 cm, hardcover, MACK (United Kingdom). Show more
