Description: A scarce copy in new condition, limited to 450 copies, each including a signed silver-gelatin print of 'The Bed, 1976'. Selected as one of the Best Books of 2019However hard I tried to illustrate an aspect of the urban environment, to unmask and present how this sleepy environment 'functioned' and fitted together somehow it always failed... the author.The images that Myers crafted have an uneasiness about them that was perhaps intentional, but can be implicitly engaged with decades later when given some distance from which to process his empty streets and unsolicited corner images. They have a ghostliness about them, an absence that drives them towards an unspoken profundity.I do not mind mentioning that it is already top of my books of the year list because I think we only see a book like this once every 4-5 years...Brad FeuerhelmPublisher: Looking at the Overlooked describes a way of encountering the world. The images, all taken within walking distance of Myers’ home in Stourbridge are scenes encountered without narrative or emotion, as if Myers were the first person to come across the places he turned his lens upon. The work is sequenced as a journey through a town, generic and not site specific, a backdrop to the mundane and everyday that is too often seen and yet not considered as part of our visual landscape.
