Description: “Unknown,” by Stephane Duroy, published by Filigranes/Anthea in France in 2007, 68 pages, oversize hardcover in embossed boards, 13.25” by 9.5”. Afterword in English and French. Signed and dated by Duroy on the title page. Exemplary and undersung book by contemporary photographer Stephane Duroy, best summed up by the photographer in his afterword: “The intent of this project after the tragedies that shook 20th century Europe was to envisage America as a land of asylum, a receptacle of the Old World’s dramas and an optimistic transformation of the brutality of its wars and revolutions… shaped by their destiny as exiles, Americans find strength and inventiveness in breaking with the past. Nostalgia becomes something morbid, while the future seems too distant to dream about in daily life…. My photographic approach has been guided by a strong subjective view and ignores the major ideological movements of this “young civilization,” where information, spirituality, environment, culture, and diplomacy co-exist with consumerism and profit. In the interest of focus, I have limited by field of investigation to New York, entry point to America, and the state of Montana, where the slow migration towards the unknown reaches its completion.” Scarce signed copy in excellent condition.
