Beschreibung

Yet another precious volume in his celebrated series of visual diaries, Was haben wir gesehen / What we have seen is all about people and places in the long and very convivial life of Robert Frank. Auspiciously opening and closing with the zoom on the dial of a clock tower, serving as a reminder of the silent but constant passage of time, the book is heavy with memories and pictures of old photographs. Like a leitmotif carrying us through the images, the word "souvenir" pops up under a magnifying glass positioned on a French text as a reading device. Frank's house in Mabou is once again portrayed as a popular hideaway for people like Jack Kerouac, Gerhard Steidl, Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs and his family members. Frank's visual diaries constitute an important part of both his later work and the ongoing art of the photobook.

Autorenporträt

Robert Frank was born in Zurich in 1924 and immigrated to the United States in 1947. He is best known for his seminal book The Americans, first published in 1959, which gave rise to a distinctly new form of the photobook, and his experimental film "Pull My Daisy," made in 1959. Frank's other important projects include the books Black White and Things (1954), Lines of My Hand (1972), and the film "Cocksucker Blues" for the Rolling Stones (1972). He divides his time between New York City and Nova Scotia, Canada.
