Stanger by Olivia Arthur

Last summer I found this outstanding photobook by Magnum photographer Olivia Arthur at the Magnum archive in London. In her monograph the artist deals with the aftermath of a marine disaster that killed more than 200 people in Dubai in 1961. She observes the city through the perspective of a man, missing since the shipwreck. This offered her the opportunity to look at the rapidly growing city of today aswell as the small village that it was in the past. The photographs are printed on transparent paper so that the single prints coalesce with each other. Thereby the reader can experience the images in a permanently diversifying way. The book was self-published by Olivia Arthur and delights with great photographs and remarkable design.
