Swissvale. Pennsylvania. USA . April 2016 I will be @photolondonfair today, @olympialondon May 15 at 3pm signing my book Strange Love @setantabooks Strange Love challenges the conventional narrative of natural enemies and offers a visual exploration of life in post-industrial America and Russia. It uncovers unexpected similarities, forcing us to question our assumptions and rethink geopolitical divides. Strange Love uncovers unexpected similarities between the two nations. With its deliberate sequencing—U.S., Russia, U.S., Russia—Murphy’s work disorients and engages the viewer. It soon becomes easy to lose one’s bearings. Looking at the images, how often will you get the country wrong? @timadamsobserver wrote for @obsnewreview : “There was also evidence everywhere he looked that Russian extremes – of oligarchs and poverty and authoritarian government – were taking hold in the States. That thought struck Murphy as profoundly interesting; as early evidence, perhaps, of something like a new world order.” @viifoundation #russia #america #photobook #coldwar

La Chronique Livre : Stray Sod de Maria Lax Dans Stray Sod, Maria Lax s’aventure au cƓur du folklore irlandais pour livrer une Ɠuvre envoĂ»tante sur le sentiment de se perdre : dans un paysage, dans la nuit ou en soi-mĂȘme. FĂłidĂ­n mearbhall. En langue irlandaise, ces deux mots font rĂ©fĂ©rence Ă  une « motte de terre enchantĂ©e » sur laquelle il suffirait de poser le pied pour perdre tout repĂšre. Voyageurs dĂ©sorientĂ©s dans des paysages pourtant familiers, chemins qui se dĂ©robent, brouillards Ă©pais, montagnes bleues ou maisons mystĂ©rieuses surgissant de nulle part : dans la tradition populaire du pays, ces rĂ©cits abondent. La photographe finlandaise Maria Lax a passĂ© des annĂ©es Ă  les collecter dans les archives de la National Folklore Collection de l’University College Dublin. DĂ©sireuse de mieux saisir ce phĂ©nomĂšne, elle a finalement dĂ©cidĂ© de s’installer en Irlande, posant le doigt au hasard sur une carte, et y restant prĂšs de deux ans. [
] Beaucoup des rĂ©cits que la photographe a pu lire se dĂ©roulaient Ă  des moments charniĂšres, comme la nuit ou sur le chemin d’un enterrement. « J’y ai vu un lien avec ce que les gens traversaient Ă  l’époque, mais aussi avec ce que nous traversons tous aujourd’hui. Parfois j’ai l’impression que nous ne reconnaissons plus le monde dans lequel nous vivons. »  Nous avons chacun, Ă  notre maniĂšre, vĂ©cu ce type d’égarement, cet Ă©tat qui peut naĂźtre d’un deuil, d’une dĂ©pression ou d’une simple angoisse : une perte de repĂšre face Ă  un monde qui reste le mĂȘme sans que l’on puisse toutefois s’y retrouver. C’est cette expĂ©rience, aussi intime qu’universelle, et pourtant si difficile Ă  nommer, que raconte Stray Sod. [
] La prĂ©sence humaine ou animale est bien souvent celle qui finit par ramener les Ă©garĂ©s : « C’est en voyageant seul que l’on est le plus susceptible de se perdre. La connexion Ă  l’autre est un puissant antidote Ă  l’isolement dans lequel on se noie. » Il est en effet souvent impossible de sortir seul du brouillard. @maria_lax_ @setantabooks @loeildelaphotographie
