Landscape
The Pond
€359.00
A groundbreaking photobook of 49 photographs taken around an unkempt pond at the edge of a city, presented as a foil to Thoreau's Walden.
John Gossage's 'The Pond' is a significant work in contemporary photography, first published in 1985. The book consists of photographs captured around a neglected pond situated in a wooded area on the outskirts of a city. It is noted for its considered and poetic approach to the marginal spaces of the modern landscape, focusing on the mixture of natural detritus and man-made junk. The volume includes an essay by Denise Sines and is often cited for its unique aesthetic that explores themes of transgressions, aspirations, and barriers, moving away from the idealized beauty of traditional landscapes.
