The explosive growth in photography book publishing has presented photo-eye with an interesting challenge along with what we think is an exciting opportunity.
How can we continue to offer an ever-increasing inventory of photography books, keep those books continuously in stock and compete with the online deep discounters on price and shipping? The answer is that we can shift much our fullfillment to the web's most efficient book operation, Amazon.com.
Now we are happy to offer you Amazon's discounts on books which are almost always in stock from either Amazon directly or Amazon Marketplace. We can also provide you with the same shipping options that Amazon provides, including on qualified orders, free shipping.
It's important to understand that you will still be supporting photo-eye if you order from Amazon or Amazon Marketplace through photoeye.com. We make it easy for you to do this by providing a dual shopping cart system with separate checkouts.
However, you may still opt to purchase a particular title from photo-eye directly even though the same book is available through Amazon at a less expensive price.
Book publishing is not a perfect industry. Though all books are imperfect in some subtle way, we want to be as accurate as possible on our website if we know that there is a problem with a particular book. Imperfections range from a rubbed dustjacket, a small tear in the dustjacket, or a corner of the book being bumped. No fundamental flaw should be part of an imperfect book's condition. E-mail us our call 505.988.5152 should you have questions prior to ordering a particular imperfect book.
Place your order now and we'll send you the item when it arrives.
You will not be charged until your order ships.
An additional change will be added to the standard handling charge for this item as it is a foreign publication and shipping expenses from foreign countries is extremely expensive or it requires a larger, more expensive box or it requires extra care in handling. Thank you for understanding!
A photobook that evokes Jason Nocito's PUD publications, while adding an exacting, blunt level of attention reminiscent of Ed Ruscha's photobooks. Through the sheer number of puddles, a taxonomy of shapes emerges—like a Rorschach test, inviting the viewer’s psyche to reveal itself in their interpretation of these forms.
Das Pfützenarchiv (The Puddle Archive) is a long-term project of Mirja Busch, an artist based in Berlin. Over the course of more than a decade, Busch has dedicated herself to exploring puddles and experimented with diverse methods of archiving them. The culmination of this extensive effort is a 400-page book, presenting the photographic archive cultivated since 2010. Nearly 2000 puddles have undergone analysis, classification, and coding. Positioned between a monument and a snapshot, the book extends an invitation for contemplation, encouraging readers to linger and reflect on the often disregarded and overlooked phenomenon of puddles.
Temporary and ephemeral, puddles are transient entities that establish themselves in specific locations. Their presence or absence is contingent on the prevailing weather conditions. Despite their seemingly trivial nature, when one pays attention to puddles, they induce an unforeseen shift in perspective, revealing a multi-faceted approach to understanding the world. Puddles emerge through a site-specific interplay of weather patterns, soil composition, erosion, and human activities. The phenomenon of soil sealing distinctly defines puddles, and their existence is influenced by the evolving water cycle driven by climate change.
