Case History par Boris Mikhailov
My copy is signed by Boris Mikhailov during the opening of his exhibition at the Fotomuseum Den Haag om March 28 2024. In March 2024 copies are offered on the internet from around Euro 200,-.
From the publisher:
"Between 1984 and 1985, when the old Soviet Union was still a harsh reality, Boris Mikhailov worked on Unfinished Dissertation. He glued his pictures of everyday life in Kharkov, Ukraine, on the back pages of an unfinished dissertation. On the margins of the pages he jotted down fragmentary thoughts, diaristic observations, quotes from books he read. They are sometimes wry, sometimes melancholy musings on Soviet society, art, and photography. Mikhailov discovers beauty amidst the dreariness and absurdity of the everyday in a provincial town in a crumbling empire. His notes are a stimulating counterpoint to the photographs: As monotonous and banal life might ever be, the human mind and its resilient will to play always offer a last refuge for the individual. Unfinished Dissertation weaves together critical thought, narrative fragments, and witty, wistful, and enigmatic sequences of images, thus creating a new genre of artist's book."
Offered on the internet in 2022 for Euro 75,-.… (plus d'informations)
