“Travel forms youth.” That was true for photographer Hans Hickerson, who lived and worked in the south of France for four years in his early twenties. Looking back at his photographs decades later he has mined their narrative potential to tell stories. In the case of Marseille the story was inspired by a true situation and is represented through a series of sequenced photographs.
The book explores the idea of cultural identity and how you learn about yourself by living abroad. It evokes the difficulty of navigating relationships in a different culture and is set against the backdrop of the southern French port city of Marseille.
Hardbound with printed cover, 7.5 X 7.5”, 32 pages, sewn binding, 24 b/w duotone photographs, text by the author. Edition of 200, signed and numbered. $ 30.
