still life / displaced forensics / meditations on a palm sized rock

6/3/2020

 


​​“We observe few objects really closely. As we walk on the earth, we observe the external events at two or three arms' lengths. If we ride a horse or drive in an automobile, we are further separated from the immediate surround. We see and photograph "scenery"; our vast world is inadequately described as the "landscape." The most intimate object perceived daily is usually the printed page. The small and commonplace are rarely explored.” 


Ansel Adams, Examples: The Making of 40 Photographs, 1983

“Tiny details imperceptible to us decide everything!”

Winfried Georg Sebald, Vertigo, 1990
