€63.00
Street photography flowing from the documentary tradition. Divided into four chapters: the World, the Flesh, the Devil and finally, Home. "I don't think of this book as a portfolio of my best work, but rather as an integrated set of photographs that express where I have been psychologically, emotionally, physically. In a way it is Bloom walking the world." Harbutt was a member of Magnum from 1964-1981.
Travelog is a photographic work by Charles Harbutt that explores the human experience through an intensely personal lens. Divided into four distinct chapters—The World, The Flesh, The Devil, and Home—the book presents approximately 120 black and white photographs that bridge the gap between abstract imagery and documentary statement. While rooted in the documentary tradition of photographers like Cartier-Bresson and Robert Capa, Harbutt's work leans toward the surreal, capturing themes of loneliness, alienation, fear, and desire. The 'World' section brings inanimate objects to life; 'The Flesh' reveals pure humanity through children and adults; 'The Devil' presents a nighttown of religious incantations and sideshows; and 'Home' concludes with intimate observations of domesticity.
