A photographic collection of Kathmandu's iconic hand-painted store & street signsThis coffee table book is a snapshot in time of a Kathmandu many will recognise if they've walked the city's fabled streets in the past. Hand-painted street signs of all shapes, colours, and wording have long decorated the rustic stores they represent. In recent years they have been vanishing. Replaced by generic plastic signage and gaudy lights. This unique part of Kathmandu's heritage has been overlooked. This book, by the author David Ways, captures the street signs before they vanish forever. With over a decade of experience writing guidebooks about Nepal and creating the world's number one website about traveling to Nepal www.thelongestwayhome.com David has created a wonderful photographic collection of a part of Nepal which is so memorable yet never before documented.Kathmandu is a sensory overload that many find challenging to take notice of in detail when avoiding traffic, bicycles, people, and the odd cow. All that charm and character lives on here in this book which can now adorn your coffee table or bookcase. Browse through the photographs. Raise an eyebrow at some of the sign's misspellings, smile at the quirkiness of many, admire all the artwork, chuckle at a few of the terms. These signs come from a different place in the world. A place that seemed to hold onto time for a little while longer than anywhere else.This book honors the artistry, efforts, and characters of all these signs from the past in Kathmandu.
'Replica' suggest a new reading of the body and the model as a pure image, a pure tool, without referring to any representative identity, hereby ignoring today's contemporary society of what the self should be. Lino refers strongly to American mid-century photographer William Mortensen, who states that a body is simply considered to be "a machine that needs adjustments. " According to Mortensen the body must be the basis, "representation of personality and emotion [...] are irrelevant and misleading". There is a certain dehumanization in Mortensen's approach to the model, a return of the body to an object without meaning, in front of the camera. Mortensen saw models as clay that form the image, a body was articulated only by the operator's intention. He wanted to strip the figure from its emotion and personality, so that we, as an audience, could consider the body as a formed prop and stare at the image as the essence, and not the subject. In Lino's case she is the model, the operator / photographer, the subject and the image at the same time. She is in complete control. She found a way to remove herself from representation and reduced her own body to a pure object and image, almost like a machine. 'Replica' is a manifestation of the artist's understanding of her role in front of and behind the camera. 'Replica' is a prescient of an approaching future in which identity will surrender to the carefree machine of image magnification.
