Description

Via the story of two images separated by a century, Jean-Christophe Bailly's The Instant and Its Shadow is a poetic and theoretical reflection on the origins of photographic technique, the imaginative power of montage, and the relation of photography to time itself. Review The Instant and Its Shadow is an intricately considered investigation of the essence of photography.-- "Choice" The Instant and Its Shadow is a brilliant theoretical and lyrical meditation on the spectral nature and radiating power of photography that will take its place with other contemporary French classics. The book is packed with profound illuminations and stellar insights about the medium on its every page. ---Louis Kaplan, University of Toronto, About the Author Jean-Christophe Bailly teaches at the École Nationale Supérieure de la Nature et du Paysage, in Blois, France. His books include The Animal Side as well as many other books and artists’ catalogs in French. Samuel E. Martin is Lecturer in French and Francophone Studies at the University of Pennsylvania. His translation of Georges Didi-Huberman’s Bark, won the French-American Foundation Translation Prize.
