Today we can walk into any well-stocked bookstore or library and find an array of historical atlases.

32 colour plates / 32 fotografie a colori di Bertien Van Manen . 4to pp. 60 Rilegato (hardback) Nuovo (New) In questo nuovo corpus di lavori, Beyond Maps and Atlases, Bertien van Manen guarda all'Irlanda. Van Manen dice: 'In un primo momento, lavorando in Irlanda, non ero sicura di quello che stavo cercando. Mio marito era morto. Ho fatto a meno della gente e riflettuto sull'atmosfera. Ero guidata da un sentimento e da una ricerca, un desiderio di un qualche tipo di significato in un luogo di miti e leggende. C'era mistero e infinito al confine di una terra oltre la quale non c'era altro che una vasta distesa'. Van Manen si è imbattuta nella fotografia quasi per caso, scattando foto dei suoi figli con una vecchia macchina fotografica. Non appena il suo lavoro è diventato pubblico è stata subito risucchiata nel mondo della fotografia di moda. Nel 1977 stanca di questo settore e attratta dalla fotografia documentaria di Robert Frank e Josef Koudelka, van Manen ha cominciato a esplorare il rapporto che si sviluppa tra se stessa e i suoi soggetti, mantenendo con loro una vicinanza e sviluppando uno stile fotografico molto personale.
