This book consists of sequential video stills which can be flipped through to create the illusion of watching the original video footage, a static shot of a park. The artist offers this quotation: “My solitude is everywhere in the world long before it is in me. It is in this man who passes by with his dog. It is this man, it is this dog.”

Aesthetic economies, the production of space, and alternative aesthetic politics are explored from interdisciplinary angles: art history, cultural science, sociology, design, and fashion studies.

A successful photograph mediates, though never completely resolves that tension.” In 1972, as his career was beginning to take off, Lewis Baltz conducted a revealing interview, his first considered statement about photography. Never published, the interview has recently resurfaced, and is printed here for the first time. In an increasingly sardonic exchange Baltz describes the character of his practice, articulates his position within and against the world of photography, and comments on his intellectual heritage and ...
