His large-format color photographs have been masterfully combined with video clips in an attempt to re-create his father's crumbling universe. The book is divided into four chapters—store, property, town, home—and include photographs, storyboards, video stills, archival materials and text."—from the publisher

"The fantastical, constructed landscapes-born of the active mind of this imaginative photographer-speak of both the horror of humanity's carelessness with our land and the hopefulness that we can change our own ill-fated actions in the world. This second edition of ParkeHarrison's best-selling, first monograph contains 13 new, unpublished images. The book has been changed just slightly, now bound in a rich, black cloth. An absolutely gorgeous production."—from the publisher

Photographs by Keith Carter
Arena Editions, 2000
New in shrinkwrap. First edition.
"In Holding Venus , Keith Carter continues to
explore what he has referred to as 'the poetry of the ordinary,' that
moment of transcendence when the commonplace becomes the
extraordinary. Myth and metaphor form the foundation of Carter's
imagery, which transforms the literal into the symbolic. In this sense,
the notion of 'holding Venus' remarks upon the connection
between the earthly and the celestial, at the same time that it attests
to the fundamental human aspiration to realize that which is
seemingly unattainable.While his early work concentrated on evoking a sense of place and spirit in his native East Texas, Carter has more recently turned his distinct perspective outward, photographing in Italy, France, England, and elsewhere. Yet he approaches his subject matter with humor and celebration and with a probing eye for the human spirit, regardless of time and place. Often, his subjects are merely apparitions, whose forms are slightly obscured by optical distortions. The imagery of Carter's enigmatic world-ghostly figures and animals, quirky masked characters, and brooding landscapes- explores the mythological, the surreal, and the intangible that infuse everyday rituals and moments."—from the publisher

Spine is no longer square and has been creased, wear marks to edges. Interior is in nice condition with clean pages and gatefolds, though there is the occasional faint ripple at page edge from wear. Wonderful reading copy of a book designed to be handled and enjoyed.
