Artist (photobook): Sohrab Hura, The Coast

Absolutely love the look of this book, reviewed by Gerhard Clausing, and it seems inordinately relevant for me and my direction for BOW/CS. The mix of stories, images, the multiple states, not to mention the fantastically bold colours and content all appeal. Some of the images remind me of a clip from one of the films I’ve identified as a possible source a narrative in my own BOW, which will also be a collection of short stories alongside images – some very short indeed.

“The carefully edited sequence of images and the surrounding mysterious short story versions go hand in hand. Sohrab Hura demonstrates that meanings can be altered by ever-so-slight changes in visual and verbal juxtapositions. This mirrors the current social media frenzy of believing imagined or constructed contexts or rumors more than facts that can be documented in incontrovertible detail. Is the person shown really injured?” (2019)
