New in the Photofile series, a mini-monograph on Belgian
photographer Harry Gruyaert. Born in Antwerp in 1941, Harry
Gruyaert was a pioneer of European colour photography in the 1970s
and 1980s. In 1972, he created TV Shots, a series of images created
by turning the dial on a television set at random and photographing
the screen. Later he travelled the world, seeking out different
kinds of light and exhibiting a particular fascination with
borders, interfaces and incongruous juxtapositions. A member of
Magnum Photos since 1982, he describes colour as ‘a means of
sculpting what I see ... it’s the emotion of photography.’ Most
recently he has begun to explore the experimental freedom offered
by digital photography. Autonomous, non-narrative and often witty,
Gruyaert’s images are complex encounters with colour and light.
The work of a masterful novelist and translator collide in this
visionary and hilarious debut from acclaimed French writer Brice
Matthieussent. Revenge of the Translator follows Trad, who is
translating a mysterious author's book, Translator's Revenge, from
English to French. The book opens as a series of footnotes from
Trad as he justifies changes he makes. As the novel progresses,
Trad begins to take over the writing, methodically breaking down
the work of the original writer and changing the course of the
text. The lines between reality and fiction start to blur as Trad's
world overlaps with the characters in Translator's Revenge, who
seem to grow more and more independent of Trad's increasingly
deranged struggle to control the plot. Revenge of the Translator is
a brilliant, rule-defying exploration of literature, the act of
writing and translating, and the often complicated relationship
between authors and their translators.
