Text: Thomas Block Humery
Publisher: Alberto Art Books
72 pages
Year: October 2024
ISBN: 978-2-9595151-0-1
Price: 35 €
Comments: Edition of 500 copies. 21 × 29.7 cm (8.2 × 11.7 in). Printed in the EU. Language: French and English
“The Desert Club” tells the story of a photographer who crosses the desert and, in a certain circumstance, is unable to capture in images what the situation evokes within him. He returns to the desert and attempts to show, in a format that straddles the line between fiction and documentary, that the portrayal of this feeling emanating from the desert is as much authentic as it is artificial; as real as it is staged, and as shareable on the surface as it is impossible to communicate in depth.
We are then faced with a narrative that is as real as it is imagined, where the unique language of images reveals that the desert is as much a spectacle as it is an existential experience.
