Images
of the Spirit,
Graciela Iturbide
1997, Aperture
11.66" x 9.68", 125 pgs.
List price: $40.00 |
"The
title of Aperture's new book, Images of the Spirit does
not do justice to the resounding photographs of Graciela Iturbide.
There is nothing ethereal about this work. Iturbide deals heartily
with the issues of sameness and difference. Sun-cracked earth
contrasts with playing children, stark walls with elaborate alters,
everyday life with special celebration. These oppositions represent
deeper conflicts in the nature of land and body. Although the
work is black-and-white, beautifully printed in duotone, the bright
red of sacrificial blood, the colorful skirts, and murals seem
to appear in full color." |

Introduction
by Clark Worswick
During the 1980s, Kenro Izu began making photographs of difficult-to-reach
places. Invariably, for want of a better description, these were
places that were possessed of "spirituality." Izu made
"documents" of places of worship as diverse as Easter
Island, Teotihuacan, Angkor Wat, Stonehenge, the monuments of the
Chinese Silk Road, Palmyra, Mustang, Hampi, the caves of Ajanta,
Borobudur, Pagan, and Lhasa. The work was painstakingly slow. Since
creating those first images in the 1980s, Izu has continued his
travels, making numerous journeys to these out-of-the-way places.
Sacred Places, which follows the success of Still Life,
Izu's first book with Arena Editions, represents the first major
compilation of these magnificent travel images-images that truly
defy simple description. His is a vision that has literally been
hacked and honed until the photographs are totally minimalist documents,
to which nothing can be added and from which absolutely nothing
can be subtracted. It is a vision totally outside of the ordinary
photographic parameters of our time. |
