Newly reimagined edition of Alex Webb's now-classic and long out-of-print Dislocations
Dislocations presents a contemporary update of Alex Webb's long out-of-print 1998 book by the same name, which was first published by Harvard's Film Study Center as an experiment in alternative book making. The book brought together pictures from the many disparate locations over Webb's oeuvre, meditating on the act of photography as a form of dislocation in itself. Dislocations was instantly collectable and continues to be sought after today.
Webb returned to the idea of dislocation during the pandemic, looking at images produced in the twenty years since the original publication—as well as looking back at that first edition. Dislocations expands a beloved limited edition with unpublished images that speak to today's sense of displacement. As a series of pictures that would have been impossible to create in a world dominated by closed borders and disrupted travel, it continues to resonate as the world resets.
