A book featuring Hildebrand’s paintings from 2006-2009

This lavishly illustrated book represents the first comprehensive survey of Hildebrand's oeuvre, including works from 2006-present.

Dark + Speed a photobook by Ryan Thompson

Dark + Speed a photo/artist book by Ryan ThompsonÔªø.

The book showcases a random selection of double exposure photographs taken by the artist since 1997.

Thompson's photographic process explores a technique similar to collage using traditional film and multiple in camera exposures. Often using found typography and cultural icons the artist creates chance alignments of multiple images. The book has a gritty aesthetic due to the printing method. First photo prints were made from the original film. These prints were then photocopied then scanned in on a Risograph duplicator which created the final output. The book was then collated and perfect-bound by hand.

Book Synopsis: Patrick Kaye thinks he’s taking a harmless Caribbean cruise, a well-earned escape from his day-to-day life as an addictions counsellor. What he gets instead is a near-death experience that lands him in the belly of a mythological beast—the very same creature that swallowed Jonah. Inside, he encounters a confounding world populated by a host of colourful residents: a 19th-century British gentleman, a pre-Christian Icelandic shaman, a survivor of the biblical flood, a Ukrainian prostitute, an Asian American stock market analyst, a Maori warrior and a sadistic little girl, to list a few. The Fish explores currents of contemporary existence in a realm where the brutality of history is ever-present and the will to exist is the only thing keeping a person from fading into nothingness. Can Patrick accept this new reality? Can he right the wrongs he sees around him? Or will the call of the outside world offer enough hope to send him searching for a way home?
