"I had this notion of what I called a democratic way of looking around, that nothing was more or less   important," William Eggleston once said. This radical attitude guided his ground-breaking work in color photography, work that has prefigured many recent developments in art and photography. Los Alamos presents a series of photographs that has never before been shown, yet it contains a blueprint of Eggleston's aesthetics, his subtle use of subdued color hues, the casual elegance of   his trenchant observations of the mysteries of the mundane. The photographs in Los Alamos were shot in Eggleston's native Memphis and on countless road   trips across the American South from 1964 to 1968 and from 1972 to 1974. Initially, Eggleston wanted to create a vast compendium of more than 2000 photographs to be   contained in 20 volumes; he wanted the viewer to look at the photographs the way one looks at the   world. He eventually abandoned this project--and hardly any of the negatives were ever printed. Now, 30years later, we finally get to see a selection of this encyclopedia of Southern everyday life     and vernacular culture. It's a stunning discovery that makes the so-called snapshot photography of recent years pale in   comparison. Eggleston's astonishingly timeless portraits, still lives, landscapes, and photographs of buildings   add up to a profound investigation of the world and our way of looking at it, a poetics of pleasures   hidden in full view. They transcend the merely descriptive and uncover the universal encapsulated in the details and   the detritus of life in a consumer culture. Published in collaboration with Museum Ludwig, Cologne. One of the few genuises in photography. -- Andy Grundberg The world is so visually complicated that the word "banal" scarcely is very intelligent to use. All days are similar, no matter what part of this planet we're in. -- William Eggleston 너무 양이 많다면 일부분만 해석 해주셔도 괜찮습니다.
