Description
Summary:"A Sudden Drop features photographs of clothing found on streets in a central part of Oslo, Norway. The book is part of a larger body of work that includes cartographical material, sculptures and installations. The theme of these works – consumer consumption and decay in a specific geographical area – takes on a somewhat abstract and scientific tone. Jóhannsson's photographic method follows up ideas he has explored in earlier publications: instrumentality is juxtaposed with temporality yet also infused with consumer aesthetics and technical misunderstandings."--From the publisher.; It includes essay by artist and writer Stian Gabrielsen on shame, intentionality and redundancy.; Edition of 500.
