Heavy Volume II. — Kickstarter: 24 Hours / 25 Percent!

Absolutely blown away guys, in just 24 hours we’ve made it a quarter of the way through our funding goal. If you haven’t yet visited our campaign, head on over now, put your name down for a copy of Heavy Volume II and we’ll send it to your letterbox come November. In celebration here’s an image from our feature with the wonderful Katrin Koenning that more or less sums up how we feel at the moment. Thanks from the THC team.

“The ideas that we make use of in order to define the relationship we have to the world around us and to our histories often come to carry more weight that they might reasonably be expected to bear. At the same time, and despite fragility, such defining concepts become a short-hand way of describing those relationships and, to a certain extent, absolve us from having to examine them more closely. The notion of ‘folk’ is one important example of this, whether it is being applied to a culture, a set of customs or even to individual people, flattening out real differences, to create a conceptual space that is basically unchanging and a-historical, as if what it encompasses were somehow outside of time. Furthermore, ‘folk’ is a concept that is never self-applied, but belongs to observers whose viewpoints are always resolutely ‘non-folk’ in origin. These points serve as a preamble to Aaron Schuman’s book FOLK (NB Books, 2016), which, along with a more personal stake in the subject, addresses the complex issues surrounding the representation of ‘folk’ cultures, using a mix of his own photographs and some canny archival delving.”

- I wrote about Aaron Schuman’s project FOLK for Paper Journal recently, read the rest here.

“In their series ‘Reconstructing the View,’ Mark Klett and Byron Wolfe layered old photos with new ones they had taken at the same site. Although photography techniques have changed over the decades, says Mr. Klett, ‘in some ways I think the message is the same—a celebration of the beauty of the place, the light, or a moment to be shared.’
