Overview
Master image-maker Nadav Kander has made some of the twentieth and twenty-first century’s most important contributions to photography. Over the past three decades, he has turned his lens on everyone from Barack Obama to Jane Goodall, and on landscapes from Chernobyl to Death Valley. His eye is drawn away from the obvious, toward the edge of things: the subtleties of light and tone, the allusive and the unknowable. From a photographer who seldom chooses to look back, this publication offers a rare chance to view highlights from across Kander's varied portfolio, edited and with an introduction and interview by renowned curator David Campany, and an essay by critic Lou Stoppard.
Born in Tel Aviv and raised in South Africa, Kander’s first professional work as a photographer was for the South African Air Force, where he spent long periods in darkrooms mastering the techniques of his photographic idols: Strand, Stieglitz, Weston, and Atget. Kander’s tireless commitment to stylistic and technical experimentation, combined with a deeply held appreciation for the fragility of the human condition, has created photographs that are compelling, uncanny, epic, and intimate.
This elegant publication coincides with an internationally touring retrospective of Kander’s work opening at Foam Photography Museum in Amsterdam, which is set to include highlights from across his career, interweaving his portraiture, personal projects, and landscape photography, including his Prix Pictet-winning series of the Yangtze River.
