Book by Max Sher “A Remote Barely Audible Evening Waltz”
Nov 08, 2013 - Tatyana Palyga
Book »A Remote Barely Audible Evening Waltz« by Max Sher. Keeping on with the topic of found images today I'm glad to share with you a brief preview of a new book by the Russian photographer Max Sher, that was published only a couple of months ago. The book titled »A Remote Barely Audible Evening Waltz« is based on photographs from a family archive from the 1960-80s which was found by him in an abandoned flat. Max formed these amazing images into a poetic visual sequence that shows private life of a middle class Soviet family, and he also added some images taken by himself at the place where the archive had been found. The title of the book is a phrase taken from the novel »A School for Fools« written by Sasha Sokolov in 1973: »Dear Leonardo, everything was much more serious: I was undergoing one of the stages of disappearing. You know, a person cannot disappear instantly and completely; he first turns into something different in shape and essence, for example, into a waltz - a remote, barely audible evening waltz. He first disappears partly and only then does he disappear entirely.« As Max says, he has chosen this extract as a title because this novel has no distinct beginning and no ending, has no plot but is utterly visual, somehow resonated with his project. Please, enjoy some pictures from the book and a flip-through. You can also look at other works by Max Sher on his website: maxsher.com [vimeo video_id="72833988" width="746" height="420"]
