Paperback, 128 pages, colour & black and white illustrations, W180mm x H215mm
To mark the midway point of Waterlog, an accompanying publication
coincides with the Lincoln staging of the project. Waterlog: Journeys
Around an Exhibition charts the course of the project so far and
strikes out to pursue parallel paths and open up further lines of
enquiry.
A visual record of the various artists'
works, documented also through installation photographs of its previous
incarnation in Norwich, this limited edition 128 page book features a
number of specially commissioned texts, including typically inventive
contributions from Waterlog artist Alec Finlay, a new poem, East, by
Matthew Hollis, and essays by writers Robert Macfarlane and Brian
Dillon.
In acknowledgement of W.G. Sebald, whose writings were a source
of inspiration for the project, the book reprints two texts dedicated
to his memory: Backwaters: Norfolk Fields by George Szirtes, and Tacita
Dean's eponymous visual essay on the author Michael Hamburger.
