Flying a Kite Through an Oblique Plane of Focus draws on the phototechnical principle named after Theodor Scheimpflug and his interest in kites. At the heart of the project lies an attempt to photograph a nineteenth-century kite flying through an oblique plane of focus in a clearing in the Julian Alps, near Trenta. The title doubles as a protocol through which the work delves into the political, poetic and historical ties between photography, landscape and cartography. The book counts 56 pages in a fourfold cover that includes two original handmade 13 x 18 cm baryta gelatin silver contact prints, one of which has a translucent acrylic paint overlay highlighting the oblique plane of focus, edition: 150, numbered. €70 .
