Papageorge, Tod: Passing Through Eden: Photographs of Central Park. ; 1. Ed.
Steidl, 2007. First edition, first printing. New, mint, unread condition. Hardcover in linen with dustjacket. 176 pages, 125 tritone plates. 305 x 292 mm. Tod Papageorge began to photograph extensively in New York's Central Park in the late 1970s, a few years after he turned from the Leica to medium-format cameras. These pictures, gathered in Passing Through Eden, luminously trace, as Rosalind Krauss has written about Papageorge's work, "photography's capacity to embrace the sensuous richness of physical reality [in order to] come to that fullness which Baudelaire used to call intimacy, when he meant eroticism." From picture to picture, Papageorge constructs a realm that resembles our common world, but that, in its intense marrying of the sensual and poetic, irresistibly calls up the Eden invoked in the book's title. Even more than this, he has edited and sequenced Passing Through Eden to parallel in its first half the opening chapters of Genesis - from the Creation through the (metaphorical) generations that follow on from Cain - before giving over the rest of the book to a virtuosic run of pictures that, from one to the next, might invoke Man before the Flood, Shakespeare's The Tempest, or energetically confirm that the human comedy is alive and well in Central Park.This ambitious book - incorporating work made over the course of 25 years - describes not only Papageorge's remarkable success at making photographs that often read like condensed narratives, but also his bold attempt to weave them into extended sequences that echo shared cultural narratives. It challenges the reader to succumb (or not) to the pleasures of the "fullness" of each individual photograph, while ignoring (or not) the tug of a tale asking to be told. Like Eden itself, this book sets our hunger for beauty against that of knowledge, while reminding us of some of the ways that we read, and come to know, books. Tod Papageorge began to photograph in 1962 at the University of New Hampshire, shortly before he received a degree in English Literature. Since 1979 he has been the Walker Evans Professor of Photography at the Yale University School of Art, where, as the Director of Graduate Studies, he has taught and supervised the course of study of many of the strongest American photographers of the last 25 years. His work has been exhibited internationally, and is included in the collections of more than 30 major museums. In addition, he has written seminal essays on several significant American photographers, including Evans, Robert Frank, Garry Winogrand, and Robert Adams.***************Steidl, Göttingen, 2007.
