Opis

Climax Books presents PICTURES, 2014â2024, a new 550-page tome from Martine Syms, surveying 10 years of images produced by the American artist. Martine Symsâ practice, comprising most notably moving image, installation, publishing and performance, is characterised by acute observations examining imposed and performed identities, and representations of Blackness and gender, offering social commentary imbued with radical humour. In this new book, designed by Paige Hanserd, narratives unfold from the conflicting demands of personal photographs, self-portraits, cinematic and ambient scenes capturing the artistâs gaze, exhibition documentation and research imagery, as distinctions between reality and fiction are blurred.
