[ T A L K ] FRIDAY NOVEMBER 14th at 5PM A conversation between @jhengstromwork and @davidcampany and signing of JH’s new book, DIMMA/BRUME/MIST, published by @photo_void In connection with the publication of JH Engström’ new book we invite you to an open and intuitive conversation between JH Engström and David Campany circling around still images, moving images and books. JH Engström, an inveterate bookmaker, is looking back at 35 years of work. Not with the ambition to present a “best of” or to resume previous work or books. But with the ambition to celebrate the movements, the energies, the searching, the reflection, the attempts and the doing. Everything roughly scanned directly from the contact sheets. The previously unpublished images are combined with texts written by Engström, throughout the book.

The conversation will draw connections and distinctions between the artists’ creative practices, including the role of research, intuition, and play; how each works with, represents, or challenges concepts of “nature”; and in what ways each responds to the ecological challenges of our time. 🌿
