More Info.
Join us as we celebrate the publication of two unique photo book projects: David Katzenstein's
Brownie
is a collection of photographs created by photographer David Katzenstein over ten years, 1979-1989. With this series, Katzenstein pays homage to the original line of Brownie cameras that began in 1900. For the series, he used the successor to the famous Kodak Brownie, the Duaflex, which was first introduced in 1947. The result is a colorful, personal, and sensitive view of the world.
The inanimate tableaux of the American resale marketplace gives power to collectible objects in David Ric ci's
Hunter Gatherer
(MW Editions). Ricci spent seven years traveling across the U.S. making photographs at antique malls and fair s, curio shops, thrift stores, and other sites where consumer goods from the past are sold. The images in
Hunter Gatherer
expose the hidden underbelly of American resale shops and cast a light on the c ountry's historical biases and stereotypes, weaving together a tapestry of racism, objectification, beauty standards, Christianity, and consume rism.
