Ackerman, Michael, 1967-. End time city: photographs. With a conversation between Michael Ackerman and Alexis Schwarzenbach and a text by Christian Caujolle. Translation Caujolle, Simon Pleasance, Fronza Woods. Zurich ; New York: Scalo, 1999, stated First Scalo edition, 135pp., transparent thick plastic dust-jacket is wavy along spine ane edge of spine, and has numerous light scratches, very good large oblong dark gray cloth with fresh red wrap-aroundd band. First published in French in 1999. - The Indian city of Benares, the holy City of Light on the shores of the Ganges, is one of the oldest cities in the world, and one of the most frequently photographed. Ackerman has created an overwhelming and deeply personal portrait of the city which he visited for the first time in 1991. Eschewing stereotypical representations of Benares, Ackerman's photographs testify to the sensitivity of the personal relationship he forged with the city: intense glances from people in the streets, dreamlike observations of a monkey balancing through electrical wires, moving and dignified images of mourners at the cremation grounds. Working in a variety of formats. Ackerman creates a moving and radically personal portrait of human life and death that transcends the particularities of this ancient city and speaks universally. 9783908247135 ISBN 3908247136.
