The pictures unfold slowly over time; the more you look, the more you see.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Difficulties of Nonsense\u003c\/em\u003e features Cumming's conceptual black-and-white and colour photographs from the 1970s, revealing his fascination with illusion and trickery. From his base in Los Angeles, Cumming made functional-looking constructions, rendered useless and created primarily to be photographed with his 8-by-10 camera. Playing with props, proportions, unusual angles, light, and mirrors, the images invite viewers to look in—and then to second-guess what they see.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs the first publication to survey this significant series, \u003cem\u003eThe Difficulties of Nonsense\u003c\/em\u003e serves as a touchstone for contemporary artists and for those interested in artwork that came out of Los Angeles in the 1970s. With an essay by Sarah Bay Gachot and an interview by David Campany, this monograph pays homage to a time when Cumming, and many in the photographic community, worked to playfully push the boundaries of photography and narrative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47598029242604,"sku":"9781597113007","price":115.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/690f24238eb8a66b0829ff891fecbaf2.jpg?v=1778027571"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/sarah-bay-gachot.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
