SIGNED; Krass Clement - Impasse Hotel (MINT CONDITION) - 2016

SCARCE OPPORTUNITY to purchase this STRONGLY LIMITED, HIGHLY IMPRESSIVE BOOK by Danish photographer Krass Clement - in BRANDNEW CONDITION + SIGNED.

Shot in Damaskus, Palmyra, Aleppo, Homs and Deir Ez-Zur in 2001, Krass Clement depicts in this very personal travel and photobook a world of yesterday. In "Impasse Hotel Syria" he describes the recent past. Just 15 years ago Clement took pictures of a country that today has undergone a complete and shocking change. An entire country and an entire people have become victims of war, and this is thoughtful and creates a sounding board when you see the beautiful photographs of Clement, one of our greatest living Danish photographers. The photographs are lyric and seeking and casts a look back at a society that a few years ago was apparently so well, but now lies in ruins.

From the photographer's website:
"Clement's photographic work emerges from two traditions: The Scandinavian melancholy on the one hand and the 'flaneur' tradition from the Parisian school on the other. In his photography Krass is more concerned with capturing a state of mind than with situations. They are less documentary depictions than subjective moods somewhere between spectator and reality. Insisting on an artistic integrity, Krass Clement has created a strong personal body of work with the photobook as his favourite medium".
