Gong Co — Christian Patterson. Published by TBW Books & Éditions Images Vevey.
Christian Patterson’s Gong, Co. contains ten years of images and collages of a store in the American South in its petrifying state. Gong Co. becomes a sort of museum, a record of the South, as it was. In Patterson’s book, time is arrested. He records with beautiful, expert images in color. To view Gong Co. is to look back in time, with some images implicating human action stopped short and in others, human neglect.
