Anna Claren: Holding

First edition; limited to 1500 copies. Sq. 4to. Publisher’s beige cloth; photographic inlay to front board. No dust jacket as issued. A fine copy. Photographer’s first book; winner of the Swedish Photo Book Prize. Described by Parr and Badger as containing “portraits, interiors, still lives and landscapes – that together seem to make up a mysterious narrative. The style is diffuse and the images high key, washed-out in colour and frequently blue-tinged, which suggests they have only one foot in reality, and that the narrative is raking through old memories, or is a dream.” Printed to recto only. No text.
