Product Description
Vertigo, Summer 2007, by Chris Darke
"... This reciprocity - looker and looked-at locked together in the eternity of a still - fascinates Marker and keeps sending him back to the photographic archive, both his own and others, to examine these moments plucked from time. It's precisely this fascination that is at the heart of `Staring Back', a major new exhibition of Marker's photographs mounted at Ohio's Wexner Center for the Arts ... whose magnificent accompanying publication is an indispensable addition to the libraries of Marker adepts. ... The first collection of stills, entitled `I Stare 1', ... is a superb sequence of images whose combination of crowd shots and individual faces - joyful, defiant, pensive - and the sense of movement and progression within and between the stills irresistibly reminds one of a Marker film, the more so when one reads the seven short texts scattered throughout the section. The quality and diversity of images is high throughout the three other sections ... and makes the book an engrossing tour of his memories as well as an invaluable visual companion to the travels of this most protean of creators."
Review
"The authentic quality of witness that attends Marker's reflections and pronouncements in his cinematic work is evident in the two hundred photographs in this collection... Accompanied by text in Marker's inimitable voice, the collection stands as further testimony to his commitment to record not just social struggle but the poetry behind it." The New Yorker "What [these photographs] do demonstrate abundantly is Marker's endless curiosity about human (and animal) physiology, and the shy, seductive promise of what Buber called the I-Thou encounter."
