"Walking through the Luxembourgish Ardennes, I documented my wanderings using polaroids.
Later, I re-explored certain routes after nightfall, to photograph under the light of the full moon.
Bathed in its soft otherworldly glow, the forest’s narrow steep valleys evoke a mysterious, psychological wilderness, in what is in reality, a highly managed man-made environment." (© Paul GAFFNEY)
'Perigee' is a set of two photobooks in an edition of 750 copies, plus a Special Ed. of 50 copies, which includes two signed and numbered limited-edition archival pigment prints (210 mm x 297 mm) and a lambswool slipcase.
“Drawn with light that is barely perceptible to the eye, Gaffney’s photographs emerge out of intuition, coincidence, and an underlying longing for connection and stillness. And although it’s tempting to call them landscapes, they are created through different ways of knowing a place – ways that acknowledge the moving, feeling body, rather than the distanced and distancing eye, as the foundation of our experience.” (g Eugenie SHINKLE)
