Alister Benn

In this episode of Biblioscapes in Discussion, I am joined by Alister Benn to talk about his work and his book Out of Darkness.

 
 
 
 

To feel the menace in a dark and mysterious landscape, or the airy lightness of a minimalistic line in negative space. Each has a voice, an emotional fingerprint with which we can resonate for a while. But, let us not hold too tightly to the ownership of these sensations; they will pass, as will we all.

 
 
 
 

We also discussed a selection of Alister’s favourite photobooks from his own bookshelf…

  • Timeless by Rafael Rojas

  • Halendi by Bruce Percy

  • Mitt Land by Trym Ivar Bergsmo

  • Sirens: Gallery Edition by Rachael Talibart

  • Astrid Preisz

You can see more of Alister’s work on his website and find him on Instagram.
