Henry Wessel. Incidents.

Nazraeli Press, 2013. 1st edition, cloth, new in original shrink wrap.  11.75 x 11.5 inches.  27 previously unpublished photographs.  64 pages. These black-and-white photographs were featured in an exhibit at Pace/McGill Gallery.  Wessel, who was included in the famous New Topographics show and book, stated in an interview: "We can recognize and name what has been described but not what just happened, not what is going on, not what is about to happen. Once you accept the idea that all photographs are fictions, analogies for the things they represent, then you are more receptive to the meaning that is being suggested by that analogy, by that fiction. To be more specific, photographs are about something that would not exist without the photograph."
