AUTOFICTIONS IN STONE by Aglaia Konrad

オーストリア出身、ベルギーを拠点に活動する写真家、アグライア・コンラッド(Aglaia Konrad)の作品集。2024年3月から5月にかけて「ウィーン分離派会館(セセッション / secession)」で開催された展覧会に伴い刊行された。

Aglaia Konrad grapples with the utopias and contradictions implicit in architecture. This publication features six sequences of images, designed by Konrad and produced according to her instructions.

Concurrent with the exhibition Autofictions in Stone, a publication features six sixteen-page sheets designed by Aglaia Konrad: sequences of images showing construction sites, architectural structures, demolitions, and quarries from Konrad’s extensive image archive – each “framed” by an image of Saint Barbara, the patron saint of miners and builders, and an illustration from Giovanni Villani’s late medieval Nuova Cronica. Bound into the book in random order, they generate ever-changing arrangements. Orla Barry, who based in Ireland, recurrently swaps the wellies of a sheep farmer for the attire of a (performance) artist, has contributed an autofictional text.

Further on, each copy of the publication contains one of several leporellos designed by Konrad. These were produced by hand, following Konrad’s characteristically analogue method of working with a photocopier. According to her instructions, images were scaled, duplicated, and assembled on the xerox before being reproduced in the full print run.
