5.0 out of 5 stars
an enduring work
Having spent some time myself as a photographer in this city, I love this book. It captures a mood about the streets of Banaras, particularly at night and around the burning ghats which I have not seen in other work. This is a book that deserves to be more widely recognized.

india in black and white the editing for this book is not the best --some of the images should have been excluded there are some very strong images here but the editor should have gathered a larger body of work from the photographer before producing this book

One of the best photography books ever I guess; though the sequence of the pictures is not perfect and sometimes leaves you dubious, the pictures themselves are literally amazing.

Le Prix Nadar à "End Time City" de Michael Ackerman,
By A Customer
This review is from: Michael Ackerman End Time City (Hardcover)
Le Prix Nadar à "End Time City" de l'Américain Michael Ackerman Mercredi 17 Novembre 1999 PARIS (AFP) - Le Prix Nadar 1999, surnommé le "Goncourt de la Photographie", a été décerné à l'ouvrage "End Time City" de l'Américain Michael Ackerman, paru aux Editions Nathan Delpire, annonce l'association Les Gens d'Images. Il s'agit du premier album photographique de ce jeune new yorkais de 31 ans qui donne, en une ronde hypnotique au seuil de la mort, une vision hantée de la ville sainte de Bénarès, cité indienne hors du temps. Admirateur de Robert Frank, autodidacte, Michael Ackermann, publié régulièrement dans New York Magazine, Stern, Harpers ou Libération, a été lauréat de l'International Center of Photography, catégorie jeune photographe en 1997. Un texte d'Adam Cohen, cinéaste américain, ainsi qu'un témoignage de Christian Caujolle, directeur de l'Agence VU qui l'a exposé au printemps à Paris, complètent la présentation de ce travail très libre de l'artiste. Par ailleurs, le jury du Prix Nadar a décerné une mention spéciale aux Editions Filigranes pour leur effort mis au service de la photographie de jeunes auteurs contemporains. Le Prix Nadar, créé en 1955, est purement honorifique et récompense le meilleur ouvrage photographique ou illustré par la photographie, édité en France ou en langue française dans le courant de l'année. Il sera remis le 22 novembre à son lauréat, dans le Salon d'Honneur de la Bibliothèque Nationale de France. |
