Every week an artist whose single image was published by Der Greif is given a platform in which to blog about contemporary photography.
Our Time Between – Doug Muir
Jun 27, 2018 - Alan Eglinton
For my last post, I would like to share a few extracts from the project Our Time Between by American photographer Doug Muir (1940-2016). A book of this work was published posthumously in 2016 by Datz Press, a Seoul-based publishing house. They are definitely people to follow since they have an active role in bringing South Korean and international photography to the attention of a South Korean audience through their publishing house, photobook store and photography museum.
A few words about Doug Muir’s project: in 1976, two artists met at an exhibition in Berkeley and, from then on, shared one retina for the following thirty years. In the book Our Time Between, Doug Muir documented Jean’s last ten years. She was gradually losing her memory, due to alzheimer’s disease.
