You've just by chance (or were you aware already) referenced one of my all time favourite photographers,; that person being Ralph Gibson. He's just a little ballistic. Ha, ha, ha. Understatement. He reeled me in with his "Quadrants" in Camera, shooting the DR 50, focusing down to 24" so he could print 16x20 that was practically life size. Here's the rest of the list. I know the references beyond the head-on Gibson monographs are a tad esoteric, but photography has come a long way since the 15th century in thinking. Gibson, Ralph. Reflections: Thoughts on Aesthetics and Photography. Ed. Mark Davison. Gottingen: Steidl Publishers, 2006. —-. Overtones: Diptychs and Proportions. Ed. Raymond W. Merritt. New York: Stemmle,1998. —-. Infanta. New York: Takarajima Books, 1995. —-. In Situ. Ed. Bavarian. Fondation Kodak Pathe, 1988. —-. Mono. New York: Lustrum Press, Inc., 2013. —-. Political Abstraction. New York: Lustrum Press, Inc., 2015. Departing from the liturgical layout of diptychs and triptychs in churches, two-panel and three-panel altar pieces, contemporary compositions of two or more images are more narrative and abstract, actually employing a Renaissance emblematic construction comprised of a device (image) and an accompanying epigram (poem). The gap between the image and the poem is filled by the interpretive bridge of the viewer connecting the two. This allows play of the imagination. Think of modern advertising with the Nike swoosh and the phrase “Just Do It.” The swoosh is dynamic with its connotation of action, and the command is not to talk about performance—how fast you can run, how high you can jump—just do it! The discussion of diptych construction is informed by a consideration of the following: fragmentation and discontinuity, 15th-century emblematic thinking, 18th-century ruinism, gap theory, perspective, metaphor, and figurative language. To start, the reference list grows quickly, but here are a few starters: Alberti, Leon Battista. On Painting. Trans. John R. Spencer. New Haven: Yale University Press, 1966. Daly, Peter M. Literature in the Light of the Emblem. Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 1998. Freeman, Rosemary. English Emblem Books. London: Chatto & Windus, 1970. Kritzman, Lawrence D. and Jeanine Parisier Plottel, eds. Fragments: Incompletion and Discontinuity. New York: New York Literary Forum, 1981. Lacque-Labarthe, Philippe and Jean-Luc Nancy. The Literary Absolute: The Theory of Literature in German Romanticism. Trans. Phillip Barnard and Cheryl Lester. Albany: State University of New York Press, 1988. Weiss, Allen S. Mirrors of Infinity: The French Formal Garden and 17th-century Metaphysics. New York: Princeton Architectural Press, 1995. I notice that eBay has two listings of Overtones, though, you may have one already. Cheers, Rog Edited February 10, 2020 by Ernest added 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
