Diane Vincent - OBEN, Self published, 2014, Berlin

 

Softcover, hand-bound with a special saddle stitch and finished with a hand-drawn map, photography & design by Diane Vincent, editing by Paul Gaffney and Diane Vincent, bookbinding by Nico Baumgarten and Diane Vincent. Edition of 250 copies, contains twenty-one photographs and one poem.
„It’s thirty-six degrees.
A dry desert sun burns the roof.
From up here the vast empty ground seems endless.
The heat and the wind touch my skin.
I open a door, the background noise of the city fades away.
With my eyes closed I see an ocean of weightless light rays –
dancing, floating …
I trust my body. I’m here.“
I explore my city from a different angle and I photograph architectural situations up there being fascinated by the vastness and expanse as well as its limitation by moments of blocked sights. Eventually I compile a personal map which mirrors an imaginary walk in another dimension of the city.
