While each picture meticulously frames the seemingly random non-activity of a typical ‘street view’ image, Carpenter’s contemplative sequencing allows a surprising harmony of natural and geometric motifs to modulate quietly throughout the book — an interplay of minor chords that draw the viewer into this specific physical \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eplace\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (mostly central Illinois, where he grew up) and the subjective, literary \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003espace\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e of the work. Detached from the urgency of current affairs, stripped of all excess, Carpenter’s photographs reflect a poetic attempt to see “the thing in itself,” to make meaning with the barest tools possible.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wolf Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53205064188247,"sku":"BOO 3922 U","price":175.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0503\/4914\/6272\/files\/3922-1.jpg?v=1775143404","url":"https:\/\/www.wolf-books.com\/products\/tim-carpenter-local-objects","provider":"Wolf Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
