STILL PRELUDES IN LIGHT by Samuel Stair
210 x 297mm, 16 pages, black, colour digital printing on newsprint, folded, 2021
'Still Preludes in Light' presents fourteen photographs taken while on a lite pilgrimage to a series of iconic Modernist architectural works in the United States in 2015. In most cases, there was intention to avoid exploring the classic and expected angles of each work, instead attempting to establish a dialogue with moments less often presented and offer a greater intimacy with each architectural subject. Each photograph is an attempt to capture a latent state of stillness in light, or light in stillness, characteristic to each work. Printed on A4 newsprint, the ephemeral nature of the medium owes itself to this fleeting and illusory focus. With a full photograph per page, each spread can be removed and used as a duet of stand alone prints if desired. Limited run of 50 copies.
