AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Krass Clement's 'Across the Cut' emerged from a brief visit he made to Bristol in June 2016. He had been invited to speak at Photobook Bristol and also to discuss a potential future publishing project. He hadn't planned this book, but it developed during his stay. Unlike much of his other work, he began editing and sequencing his images as soon as he returned to Denmark. His time in Bristol coincided with the period leading up to the UK referendum on its future membership in the European Union. The idea that Britain might leave the EU deeply troubled Krass Clement and undoubtedly influenced his mood and perception while taking the photographs.
The ambiguities of being left behind, loneliness, feelings of limbo and powerlessness are present in all of Krass Clement's books and are not specific to any one place, but few portray these themes as powerfully as his images of Bristol's Cut.
The Cut is an artificial canal that was built in the early 19th century to help create a floating harbor. It is about 3 kilometers long and divides Bristol, with the traditionally more prosperous part located on the north side. Most of Krass Clement's photographs were taken on the south side.
Seller's Story
Dartbooks is a specialized photography bookshop based in Barcelona, dedicated to photobooks, rare and out-of-print editions, and historically significant publications. With a strong focus on Japanese photography, Dartbooks was founded to provide continuity to a field that requires depth, expertise, and careful curation.
The bookshop was established after the closure of Kowasa, a landmark reference for photography books in Spain. Its disappearance left a clear gap for photographers, collectors, and institutions in need of a space with a serious and knowledgeable approach to the photobook. Dartbooks emerged in response to that need, not as a replacement, but as part of the natural evolution of a cultural ecosystem.
Dartbooks operates with a curatorial mindset, shaped by long-term engagement with photography and book collecting. The project functions as a book hunting platform for collectors, professionals, and libraries worldwide, and also provides advisory support to other bookshops seeking to develop coherent and specialized photography collections.
The catalogue includes new publications, rare and out-of-print titles, monographs, retrospectives, self-published works, signed copies, and editions produced directly by photographers through their own imprints. The selection reflects a sustained commitment to photography as a form of visual narration, where images construct meaning beyond text.
Although rooted in the Gràcia neighbourhood of Barcelona, Dartbooks serves an international audience. Its community includes collectors, professionals, and institutions from France, the United Kingdom, Japan, and beyond, both through the physical space and the online platform.
Dartbooks understands the photobook not merely as an object of consumption, but as a cultural artifact that documents artistic practices, historical contexts, and personal visions. The bookshop functions simultaneously as a place of discovery, an archive in constant growth, and a point of connection between photographers, publishers, and readers.
