TOKYO-2017 Book / Nature

Outside

This book, published to accompany the Outside Exhibition, presents an overview of David Magee’s approach to landscape photography. The images are reproduced with meticulous attention to detail, from the print production to the hand crafted binding and choice of papers used throughout. Square in format, exquisitely printed, bound in hand made Japanese paper. Featuring gold and translucent foiling, the book is an invaluable addition to any discerning collection of fine-art photography, especially for enthusiasts of landscape photography. Outside, is a gallery in itself with a collection of images that encapsulate the essence of his photography. Forty-seven plates, painstakingly selected from an extensive archive. The foreword is by Academy Award-winning screenwriter-director Terry George, who describes Magee’s photographic work as “a wonderful example of what photography does best. Through his images, he shares his memories. It is a gift. It is elemental. Enjoy.” An interview with Dr Collette Nolan, David answers some questions and explains why he started taking photographs, how his photography has evolved and outlines some plans for the future. Published by Concentric Editions, with only 500 copies worldwide, this limited edition book is signed and numbered by the artist.

  • Biography
    David Magee (b. 1963) is an Irish lens-based visual artist whose work is rooted in stillness, attentiveness, and duration. For over 40 years - David Magee has been making photographs outside. Working predominantly in series, his work explores thresholds - between land and sea, light and shadow, presence and absence - inviting quiet, contemplative engagement. His work has been exhibited internationally and is held in both private and municipal collections. "Ultimately, I hope the work resonates on an emotional level - offering an experience that is felt as much as observed.”
