Windows
Published by Perimeter Editions

패트릭 파운드 Patrick Pound의 첫 번째 포토북 『Windows』는 그가 수집해온 70,000장의 창문 사진을 모은 책입니다. 이 책에서는 행복한 가족들, 일상 속 사람들, 연기하는 배우들 등 다양한 모습을 볼 수 있는데, 작가는 사진 속 창문을 통해 세상을 바라보게 하고 사진은 거울처럼 포즈를 취하는 하나의 창이라는 점을 생각하게 합니다.

 

패트기 파운드는 사진을 이베이와 같은 온라인 플랫폼에서 찾아냅니다. 이 사진들은 버려진 아마추어 스냅샷, 사진 라이브러리, 신문 및 영화 아카이브에서 나온 것들입니다. 그는 인터넷을 '방대하고 비틀린 앨범'이라고 부르며, 무질서 속에서 연결고리를 찾아내거나 만들어냅니다.

 

Patrick Pound collects photographs as if on a dare. For thirty years, the New Zealand-born, Australian artist has been collecting other people’s photographs and placing them in his own peculiar categories. To photograph the world is to collect it in the form of images. Pound’s work seems to propose: ‘If only we could find all the pieces, we might solve the puzzle.’ It is a folly, of course.

In Windows, Pound’s first photobook with Perimeter Editions, we find a cross-section of images lifted from a single category in Pound’s vast collection of 70,000 photographs. Each of the ‘found’ photographs in this new book features a window seen from the outside. We are allowed tolook through them, from the privacy of our own homes. We see ghostly figures and happy families; we see actors acting, and everyday folks acting up; we see real and imagined worlds. Every scene is one of a kind. Page after page, we look through other people’s photographs and other people’s windows. Here, Pound reminds us that the photograph is a window posing as a mirror. Surprisingly, through its single constraint, Windows offers a little history of photography – its evolving material qualities and its practical and expressive uses.
