Product Description
Theo Hooper, The Big Issue, April 3–9 2006
"Dylan’s lyrics have been labelled as inscrutable over the years, but here they are dramatically and poignantly brought to life."
Book Description
In July 1969, Mark Edwards, lost on the edge of the Sahara, is rescued by a Tuareg nomad, who takes him to his people, makes a fire and produces a cassette player. Bob Dylan sings "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall". As Dylan piles image upon image, the idea comes to Edwards of illustrating each line of the song. In the years that follow, he travels to over 150 countries to photograph our headlong collision with nature. "Hard Rain" is the result - an unforgettable collection of photographs illustrating Dylan's prophetic lyric. Images from Edwards' personal archive, plus contributions by Sebastiao Salgado, Chris Steele-Perkins and others, combine with the words of rock music's great, poetic writer to form the centrepiece of "Hard Rain". Award-winning author Lloyd Timberlake's brilliantly argued reproach of our lack of action in the face of global collapse, will inspire readers to participate in the complex debate about how we should best address the pressing issues of climate change, environmental degradation and world poverty.
OUTDOOR EXHIBITION AT THE EDEN PROJECT, CORNWALL, 24 MAY to 1 SEPTEMBER 2006.
"'A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall' was one of the defining protest songs of the sixties. While its original inspiration was the threat of nuclear meltdown, it has been effortlessly transposed into a modern context by Mark Edwards, whose plangent photographic essay is as moving a piece of work as I have seen for a long time. It is also important and timely because it is the sixties’ generation who now make up the bulk of the establishment. A reminder of how, little by little, our capacity for righteous anger has been eroded by the years of compromise so many of us have lived through, may just move us once more to remember what it is like to yell at the top of our voices, 'enough'. This disturbing, powerfully moving work is a masterpiece that summons up the ghosts of our past and a vision of a future that was ours to change. Regret and optimism make strange bedfellows, but great artists have always known this."
TIM SMIT, CHIEF EXECUTIVE AND CO-FOUNDER, THE EDEN PROJECT
