Fictcryptokrimsographs. A Book-Work by Les Krims
€222.00
This hysterical book by Les Krims contains reproductions of SX-70 photographs that have been altered during the development process. This technique lends a wacky, sometimes surreal sensibility to the conceptual nudes Krims has set up to photograph. A humorous look at the nude and sexuality and Krims' creative spirit.
Fictcryptokrimsographs: A Book-Work by Les Krims is a conceptual photography monograph published in 1975. The work features forty four-color plates consisting of altered Polaroid SX-70 prints, primarily depicting female nudes posed in humorous and absurdist situations. These images are part of what the artist describes as "fictions," carefully arranged fabricated photographs intended to explore the possibilities of photographic creation. The book includes an introductory essay by Hollis Frampton and is presented in a softcover format with pictorial wrappers. It is noted for its surreal sensibility, which influenced subsequent artists such as Cindy Sherman.
