Quantum Light: David Benjamin Sherry (Fotografia) - Hardcover

Von der hinteren Coverseite

David Benjamin Sherry (born 1981) graduated with an MFA in photography from the Yale School of Art in 2007. In 2010 his richly color-saturated photographs became the face of the Greater New York exhibition at MoMA/PS1. That same year he was named by the New York Times T magazine as one of the 50 up -and- coming American talents. Sherry's work has been recognized for casting new light on the state of contemporary photography while celebrating the end of the film-based medium. In Quantum Light, Sherry's second publication, his nondigital photographs reference the traditional photographic hierarchies of landscape and portraiture, yet rely on a subversion of the expected. He creates pictures of interior landscapes by constructing a sublimated view of his place within the natural world. This book designed by Tiffany Malakooti includes his most recent landscape, collage, still life, abstraction, portrait and sculptural works, all placed upon colored pages. The playful layout activates Sherry's often monochromatic and bright photographs. A conversation between Sherry and Collier Schorr serves as a preface to this beautifully produced clothbound volume, which is published to coincide with the artist's first New York solo show at Salon 94.
