Text by Penelope Curtis, Lisa le Feuvre (Interview)

Circulation is Roger Palmer’s second monograph after Overseas (Fotohof edition 2004), and once again it addresses complex issues relating to the representation and possible misinterpretation of landscape and its inscribed cultural codes. As the British artist explains, his landscapes are not about describing the world; they are “much more about bringing together different fragments of the world into one location, and that location is the photographic picture plane” (Palmer). His book presents three carefully sequenced groups of works – Circulation, Latitude, and Meridian – made over the past ten years on specially routed journeys in Europe, Africa, North, South and Central America, the Caribbean, and Asia. The book also includes an interview with Lisa le Feuvre, art historian at the Henry Moore Institute in Leeds, and an essay by Penelope Curtis, Director of Tate Britain in London, in which she recalls her experiences as the artist’s travelling companion on a journey through South Africa.

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
