I september 2015 tog fotograf Fryd Frydendahl og grafiker Jacob Birch til Texas med en ambition om at udforske og afprøve grænserne for fotobogens format. Ud fra benspænd om, at den grafiske opsætning skulle finde sted undervejs, sideløbende med fotografiernes analoge tilblivelse, er elementer af intuition, tempo og flygtighed, der normalvis kendetegner den digitale billedkultur, således indlejret i bogen. Samtidig fastholder den analoge metode at projektet bliver tilført en langsomhed. Udgivelsen er langt mere poesi end faktisk dokumentation af rejsen. Den fremstår fragmenteret både i sit narrativ og visuelt. Trods det, at Texas er meget anderledes end fotografens skandinaviske afsæt, er bogens formål ikke at drage sammenligninger eller udpensle forskelle. Bogen fremstår som en refleksion over sit eget format, mens den sideløbende skaber et kontrapunkt til en moderne, flygtig verden. Fryd Frydendahl (f.1984) er uddannet fra Fatamorgana Danmarks Fotografiske Billedkunstskole (2006) og International Center of Photography, New York (2009). Jacob Birch (f.1983) har en master i grafisk design fra Kolding Designskole (2009). Tekst på engelsk. 120 sider.

'Creeeeak!' goes the screen door to self-taught artist Elijah Pierce's barbershop art studio. A young boy walks in for an ordinary haircut and walks out having discovered a lifetime of art. Mr. Pierce's wood carvings are in every corner of the small studio. There are animals, scenes from his life, and those detailing the socio-political world around him. It's this collection of work that will eventually win Elijah the National Heritage Fellowship in 1982 just two years before his death. But the young boy visiting the shop in the 1970s doesn't know that yet. All he knows is: 'You gotta meet Mr. Pierce!' Based on the true story of Elijah Pierce and his community barber shop in Columbus, Ohio, this picture book includes cleverly collaged museum-sourced photos of his art and informative backmatter about his life. With engaging text by Pierce to the Soul! playwright Chiquita Mullins-Lee and Christopher Award-winning author Carmella Van Vleet, it's illustrated with striking Japanese woodblock by Jennifer Mack-Watkins. A new addition to vital Black art history!
The Short and Noble Life of Specialist Noah Charles Pierce
It is important to acknowledge the thousands who suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and to remember those who died as well as the grief endured by their loved ones. Honoring Specialist Noah Charles Pierce is a way of thanking all those young men and women who gave their lives for their country. Marguerite Guzm n Bouvard, Author of The Unpredictability of Light. These poems and the story that surrounds them speak as eloquently as any of the great works of Remarque or Owen about the raw pain and immense cost of war. We owe it to Noah Charles Pierce and to the families of this war's many victims to take Noah's story into our hearts and dedicate ourselves to being better advocates for peace and greater supporters for the care that will be needed for years to come by those families who have borne the, too often untold, burden of these wars. - Kevin Bowen, Ph.D., Author of Eight True Maps of the West: Poems, Director of the William Joiner Center for the Study of War and its Social Consequences. At the center of this collection of essays, letters, and articles are the vivid poems of Noah Charles Pierce, their heart and soul palpable on the page. American soldier in our Iraq War, he came home haunted by what that war had done to him. These poems help us meet a young man who was alert, kind, attentive, saddened, and in the end, courageously struggling against the odds to hold on. They are Noah's testament of life and for life. - Fred Marchant, Ph.D., Author of Full Moon Boat and The Looking House.
