Garry Fabian Miller's Dark Room is a photography book unlike any
other. At its heart is the artist's description of a life lived
making pictures between the dark and the light, a deeply personal
account woven against the history of photography from the moment of
its birth in the 1830s to its decline, and some would say death, in
the digital age almost two hundred years later. It is a memoir that
reads at times like a manifesto, at others like a confession; a
last testament to the dark room as both a site for the imagination,
and a physical space for the alchemy that William Henry Fox Talbot
once described as 'a little bit of magic realised'. Dark Room
charts Miller's work over five decades, shifting from a
camera-based practice in early career to the abstract picture
making for which he has become internationally recognised, working
without a camera to experiment with the possibilities of light as
both medium and subject. At its core is the relationship with
nature and place that has so sustained his way of life, and
specifically with his home on Dartmoor and the cycle of daily walks
that have been at the core of his practice for thirty years. The
book also features an essay on Miller's work by his friend the
potter and writer Edmund de Waal and technical notes by Martin
Barnes, senior photography curator of the Victoria and Albert
Museum.
