"'Whereabouts 'by Marc STECULORUM is the first part in a series of 'where, when, and why' books.
They are books in which text and images are equally important.
With these books, publisher Camera Work wants to dig into the how and why of a particular artist's body of work, the influences, vision, and ambitions that have contributed to the specific development of a photographer.
The main theme of 'Whereabouts' is photography itself.
What constitutes a photo, what is the relationship between reality and image and how does one look at a photo? What does it mean to be a photographer in times time when almost everyone is taking pictures? All apparently obvious questions. To each of them Marc STECULORUM tries to give an original and clarifying answer.
From the start the author makes it clear that, where his photography is concerned, he wants to limit himself to autonomous photography, Specificely that type of photography that is the work of a person who can and wants to make photos without interference and external constraints. Photos not made to sell products, to please or to change the world, but photographs that tickle and refresh our way of seeing.
'Whereabouts' tries to recapture some of the magic of photography.
Aimed at students as well as anyone with an interest in visual art, Marc STECULORUM provides insight into his work both as a photographer and as a curator of photo exhibitions. Through a blending of words and images he recounts the various processes and influences that have shaped his way of seeing.
This ‘where, when, and why’ book can be read as a kind of autobiography, one written in the form of a workshop experience. The aim is to clarify what sets photography apart as a medium for reflection and discovery." (publisher's note, © Camera Work, 2019)
