Ghosts of California 18.08.2011
60 p. 21 x 29.7 cm.
ISBN 978-2-940409-45-7
This book is a six-folio visual album. Made of fragmented images, these micro-narratives feature various themes, such as figurative art in modern architecture photography; the representation of police violence in Hollywood crime movies; dummy design in the 1950’s store windows; and architect-targeted advertisements for building materials in nuclear plants. Operating through large zoom-ins within the very pattern of the images, Izet Sheshivari gets the reader physically closer to the document, leading to a pictorial exploration of themes – a romantic kind of aesthetics based on the use of an old photocopier.
