"Duke’s latest body of work is hauntingly beautiful and contains the philosophical depth required when addressing a topic of this nature. Through his eye, the subjects of his lens are not only visible proof of impermanence, but highlight the inevitable and undeniable truth that one day the world we know will disappear, with each photograph becoming an elegy. The book mandates the audience to mourn not only what once was but what we know will come to pass, placing us on the precipice of terrifying and uncontrollable change." ⁠ ⁠ — Georgina Laube on Tristan Duke: Glacial Optics in Musée Magazine⁠ 🧊 ⁠ ⁠ Using camera lenses made of Arctic ice, Tristan Duke's ongoing, experimental photographic project Glacial Optics explores our current moment of climate crisis.⁠ Glacial Optics also includes essays by Lucy R. Lippard, William L. Fox, and Brandee Caoba, with a foreword from Michael Govan, as well as the artist's field notes and original research chronicling the unlikely history of ice lenses.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ Read the review at linkin.bio/radius.books & order your copy!⁠ ⁠ ⁠ Book photos by Brad Trone #TristanDuke #GlacialOptics #MuseeMagazine #GeorginaLaube #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis #Arctic #TheArctic #Photography #LandscapePhotography #IceLenses #Wildfires #Svalbard #LucyLippard #MarkCheetham #WilliamLFox #MichaelGovan #monograph #artbook #artbooks #RadiusBooks #nonprofit #bookreview #newbook (fb)
