Annelies Oberdanner
Wien 2
Photographer Annelies Oberdanner’s second book of images of Vienna, this volume deepens her exploration of this magical city, delving even further into its color and atmosphere. At first glance, Oberdanner’s photos seem to be telling only part of the story, but they reveal a mystery as the viewer studies each image. Don’t expect picture-postcard scenes: she focuses on non-descript areas of town, looking behind the obvious facades at the surprising beauty of bare-branched trees mantled in snow, a potted plant abandoned on a sidewalk, high-rises sprouting from rubble. These unembellished, almost casual, scenes give a truer portrait of Vienna than any glossy guidebook.

MARK PIMLOTT
In Passing
“I discovered two strips of negatives in a drawer, in my parents’ house.” So begins Mark Pimlott’s In Passing, a book of photographs as memoir investigating “junctions in time.” Photos from those two strips of negatives made when the Montreal-born artist/architect, was 12 years old set the stage for a book.” Fundamental and fleeting perceptions revealed the World to me,” the artist writes. “I saw meaning embedded in spaces and objects: their forms held the key to understanding both the human impulse, the World, and one’s place in it.” The almost mythic black and white and color photos, gorgeously reproduced, span the wide open spaces of the Canadian prairie, the 1960s paradox of suburban banality and futurism, light captured in spaces both personal and anonymous.
