Synopsis

Box Set Documenting Six Of Jean-luc Moulène's Most Well-known Photographic Series. This Special Edition Box Set Contains Four Volumes Documenting Six Of Jean-luc Loulène's Most Well-known Photographic Series. His Practice Cuts Diagonally Across The Oft-stratified Spheres Of Economics, Politics, And Culture In Order To Reveal Gaps In Assumed Knowledge And Allow New Figures And Transparencies To Emerge. Unlike A Scientist Or A Mathematician, An Artist Must Produce Work That Is Not Merely The Outcome Of An Experiment, But Must Also Render The Experiment Available To Others; Moulène Sees This As His Task. The Resulting Forms Are Models For Other Lines Of Inquiry. Many Of Moulène's Photographic Images Are Grouped Under The Series Documents; This Special Publication Is Comprised Of Subseries Chronicling The Writings On The Wall Inside A Tunnel In Paris (le Tunnel/the Tunnel), A Group Of Sex Workers From Amsterdam (les Filles D'amsterdam/the Amsterdam's Girls), Minor Statuettes At The Louvre (le Louvre), Objects Made By French Workers While On Strike (objets De Grève/strike Objects), An Invasive Plant Species In Urban Environs (la Vigie/watch Out), And Products Illegally Exported From Palestine (produits De Palestine/palestinian Products). Here, Photography Functions As A Research Tool, A Form Of Record Keeping. Like Malraux's Musée Imaginaire, Documents Unites The Heterogeneity Of The World Under The Sign Of Photography. Edition Of 700 Signed And Numbered Copies, English/french.
