SPANISH SUMMER by Gerry Johansson [SPECIAL EDITION]

スウェーデン人フォトグラファー、ゲリー・ヨハンソン（Gerry Johansson）の作品集。

30年以上もの間、作者はウランバートルから南極まで、世界中の辺縁の地を鋭敏かつ繊細な感性でカメラに収めてきた。本作では、最初に作者の想像力をかきたてた場所の1つであるスペイン中央部の平原地帯を再訪している。かつてそこで見た礼拝堂は作者の記憶に刻み込まれ、数十年の時を経てスペインに呼び戻し、その建築遺産、宗教的重要性、そして美しさを再発見するきっかけになったという。これらのイメージを通じて作者は、数千年にも及ぶ文化の痕跡が幾重にも層をなしているスペインの風景について考察する。正確な構図とモノクロの精緻な濃淡は、電話線が古めかしい十字架の上を行きかい、現代的な漆喰と古びた石材が出会い、巨石の影が砂埃の上にむやみに長く伸びる、ある過渡的な領域をあらわにしている。

Over more than three decades, Gerry Johansson has brought his shrewd and sensitive eye to bear on peripheral landscapes the world over, from Ulan Bator to Antarctica. Spanish Summer sees him return to one of the first places that captured his imagination: the plains of central Spain. The chapel remained etched into Johansson’s memory and, decades later, led him to return and rediscover the country’s architectural heritage, religious significance, and beauty. With these images, a survey is conducted of a landscape into which thousands of years of cultural traces have bedded down. Johansson’s exacting composition and delicate black-and-white tonalities reveal a transient territory in which telephone wires transcend hoary crucifixes, modern plaster meets timeworn stone, and the shadows of industrial megaliths reach blindly across the dust.

The latest distinctive landscape study by Gerry Johansson reveals the plains of central Spain as a territory in which over a thousand years of cultural traces have bedded down.

Special edition divided into 5 sets, each comprising a signed first edition of the book housed in a cardboard mailer slipcase with one of five silver gelatin prints [signed and numbered].
