Archaeology in Reverse

Signé, Stephen Gill
Nobody/2007/Japanese/225*225*20

A photo book by British photographer Stephen Gill. After working with Magnum Photos, Gill now works as a freelance photographer. He is an artist who continues to captivate photography enthusiasts with his unique perspective, razor-sharp prints, and creative, experimental photographic expressions. In addition to his own photo books—including *Hackney Wick* (2005) and *Coexistence* (2012)—he is also highly regarded for his work directing photo books by artists such as Bertian van Manen. This volume is a collection of works centered on Hackney in East London, a subject that has long fascinated Gill and which he has continued to photograph over the years; it serves as a sequel to the *Hackney Wick* series. If *Hackney Flowers*, released around the same time, used flowers as a motif to express the multifaceted charm of Hackney’s “present,” then this book—as its title suggests—seems to depict Hackney’s “past,” “present,” and the “future” that is yet to come, almost resembling a study of Hackney’s ecosystem. It is a work that allows readers to fully appreciate photographer Gill’s creativity. Signed by the photographer.
