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!
In Mons Ferratus, French-Algerian photographer Karim Kal, winner of the Prix Henri Cartier-Bresson 2023, explores the nights of Haute-Kabylie. Located in northern Algeria, this mountainous territory is, in the collective imagination, the symbol of a certain form of resistance to imperialism, colonization and terror throughout the ages.
Here, Karim Kal focuses on the urban landscapes, architecture and vegetation that shape this territory. The grandson of Kabyles, the photographer does not claim an identity quest through this work, but sees it as a documentary practice in its own right.
Influenced by the vocabulary of abstract painting of the second half of the 20th century, Kal photographs mainly at night, using artificial lighting. This process gives him a unique photographic style, enabling him to sculpt his compositions by isolating one or more elements in the image with architectural rigor. By photographing these places steeped in history in fragments, Karim Kal proposes a reflection on the territory. “We accentuate this mythological effect by working at night,” he emphasizes.
The book presents a set of five photographic series entitled Crêtes, Sols, Gravats, Lentisques and Sutures, structured around two major texts: an interview between Karim Kal and Clément Chéroux, Director of the Henri Cartier-Bresson Foundation, and an essay by Émilie Goudal, PhD in art history. An extract from Mes indépendances: Chroniques 2010-2016 by Kamel Daoud, winner of the Prix Goncourt 2024, introduces the book.
Out-of-stock books are available to backorder from photo-eye.
