책 소개
Loops는 앞표지부터 뒷표지까지 안데르스 에드스트룀의 내러티브 연대기로 이 책에 실린 사진들은 산책을 하거나 여행하는 동안 빛과 상황이 조화를 이루는 순간에 멈춰 촬영되었습니다. 늘 주의를 기울이지는 않는 일상적이고 단순한 풍경, 예를 들면 얼음이 녹고, 가을에서 겨울이 되고, 웅덩이가 마르는 순간에 주목합니다. 화려하거나 특이한 것보다는 빛과 상황이 자연스럽게 어우러지는 순간. 이 사진들은 평범해 보일 수도 있지만, 각각은 빛과 시간, 에너지의 결합을 서술하고 있습니다. 그리고 페이지를 넘기다 보면 때때로 액체 덩어리가 등장하는데 작가가 집에서 직접 만든 것으로 빛, 형태, 질감에 대한 연구의 과정으로 볼 수 있습니다.
패션 사진가이기도 한 작가는 화려함을 포착하고 뚜렷한 목적성을 가진 패션 사진과는 차이점을 두고 작업을 합니다. 러닝타임이 480분에 달하는 영화 <일과 나날(시오타니 계곡의 시오지리 다요코의)>을 C.W.윈터 감독과 공동 연출하기도 했습니다.
Antenne Publishing presents its second publication in the ESTATE OF series, a publication that offers artists a space to realise projects in a specified format.
Loops is Anders Edström’s narrative chronology, from front to back covers. Shot during walks driving, during his travels, always looking, noticing, then stopping when the light and circumstance synthesize for him. He doesn’t look for the spectacular or unusual, but rather for the preternatural union of light and circumstance.
For this reason, they may seem mundane, but each is a statement about this union of light, time, and energy.
Interspersed are reflective paint puddles, which he poured at home, getting the light to work for him. Each is a study in “light, form, and texture” — to use E.H. Gombrich’s words from his essay on 15th century paintings north and south of the Alps.
In Loops, they are the creative investigations during this chronology. In Vladimir Nabokov’s Bend Sinister, the novel before writing Lolita, one of his tropes was a puddle, which his main character, Adam Krug, first notices gazing out a window, a recent widower. Puddles distort reflections in reverse, like a “bend sinister,” a heraldic shield with the band going from top left to bottom right instead of the reverse, a bend dexter. The puddle motif reappears as an inkblot, a footprint, an ink stain. Nabokov was a lucky sufferer of synesthesia, the crossing of one sensory modality into another, with words revealing different meanings. He played with language as sound and image, “caressing” details, as he called it, looking for the unnoticed, infusing his stories with undercurrents of his special intuition.
Anders Edström was first discovered by the fashion industry, and first by Martin Margiela, who changed the look of fashion by being unspectacular, for example, simply covering boots, jeans, and backpacks in white gesso. Like Margiela, Anders Edström has always avoided the transcendent, spectacular, or highly stylized in preference for unaffected naturalism, but also for an alternative enlightenment in his synesthetic photography. Loops is a time capsule of his research.
