Gaston Welisch

In this episode of Biblioscapes in Discussion I am joined by Gaston Welisch to talk about his book Car Wash Poems.

 
 
 
 

An invitation to discover the whispered secrets of a city, "Car Wash Poems" records peculiar scenes of Glasgow. It is an incomplete documentation of a photographer's obsession - an ode to the overlooked and forgotten, to the wilted and blooming. A walk through the transient beauty of a city told with traces of its inhabitants, this book offers a tactile experience to explore Glasgow through the eyes of someone who has been captivated by its everyday charm.

 
 
 
 

We also discussed a selection of Gaston's favourite book from his own bookshelf…

  • Glasgow… Raymond Depardon

  • Sightwalk… Gueorgui Pinkhassov

  • Provoke

  • New York USA… Dolores Marat

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