It is sure to become a highly collectible photograph given the provenance linking it directly to the Magnum Photos collective and to the photographer. Text on the archival label attached to the back of the print: “The decisive moment and the excellence of composition are the basis of the hegemonic graphic aesthetic of images that, while suggesting an impossible truth, satisfy the existential comfort of viewers. Photographers often attempt to remedy world disorder by enclosing insidious forces of chaos into formatted frameworks and mental architectures. In my photographs, the logic of the senses takes over aesthetic dogma and tendentious hierarchical arrangements of space and time. The dissolution of forms eradicates arrogant photographic rules, contaminates our understanding of reality and instills fragility and doubt. All images are gestures that reveal the bodily experience of beings facing the void, of sacrifice to oblivion, through the dissolution of accepted shapes and limits. Because the movement of excess will defeat intelligence, irredeemably taking over the geometry of the world and dissolving all forms of order.” — Antoine d’Agata Please note: I photographed the print for sale. That means some reflections may be visible on the product images. Colors may not be completely accurate in comparison to the real prints. Please take a look at my other listings.
