Behind the Glass

out of stock
First edition

A constellation of photographs, Behind the Glass envelops portraits, landscapes, and photograms in shades of black, gray, and white.

Behind the Glass takes its title from Alexandra Catiere’s series shot in Minsk and Moscow in 2005-2006. Curated and designed by Chose Commune, this book brings together photographs from this early unpublished series with additional selected images. Included is a new set of photograms; the artist’s latest camera-less experiments composed of light, sensitized paper, pebbles and grass.

For the past 15 years, Alexandra Catiere has illuminated faces, bodies and things that weave an emotional and intimate narrative. Behind the Glass is designed for each reader to contemplate her images in their own way as each double spread can be opened to reveal another photograph. The constellation of photographs published here creates a new portrait of life as it travels across her path.

Alexandra Catière (born in Minsk, Belarus) lives and works in Paris. She graduated from the International Center of Photography (New York, USA) and was an assistant to Irving Penn. Winner of the Festival de la Photographie d'Hyères in 2007, then of the first edition of the BMW Residency at the Musée Nicéphore Niépce with an exhibition at the Rencontres d'Arles in 2012, she regularly collaborates with the press. Alexandra Catiere is the author of four photographic books. Her borderless career bears witness to her desire to reach out to the universal. From the former Soviet Union to France and the United States, she has made timelessness one of the major aspects of her work. She is represented by the In Camera Gallery (Paris).
