The 15 Years of Perimeter poster series revisits a selection of Perimeter Editions titles published over the years – by Anu Kumar, Bartolomeo Celestino, Emily Ferretti, Travis MacDonald, and Ying Ang – many of which are no longer in print. Designed by our longtime creative collaborator (and friend) Narelle Brewer, the posters will be launched in store at Perimeter Books on Saturday, August 22 – details coming soon!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA1 poster (59.4 x 84.1 cm).

The mass of turbulence and white water and the deft flashes of calm that these photographs describe occupy a fundamentally different formal and conceptual space to the iconography of the Australian coast. His mode of practice might just as proficiently be read through the late Modernist prism of seriality. Without the luxury of context – without foreground and horizon – Celestino’s images become loaded with formal, allegorical and interpretive potential. We can only begin to approach an understanding of the nature of our chosen subject through a process of assiduous repetition.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Perimeter Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50269128622319,"sku":null,"price":85.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/3927\/files\/PE_POSTERS_15YEARS_BC_1000px.jpg?v=1785380771","url":"https:\/\/www.perimeterbooks.com\/products\/15-years-of-perimeter-poster-bartolomeo-celestino-surface-phenomena","provider":"Perimeter Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
