Al veel gefotografeerd in mijn leven. Zowel zakelijk als privé. Lid geweest van een aantal beroeps organisaties. Het contact met collega's is de beste leerschool.
Nu met pensioen en op het ogenblik gaat mijn interesse uit naar meer abstracte fotografie. Oude lenzen op moderne camera. Old school beelden. ICM.

“A 1945 Time magazine map by R.M. Chapin Jr turns geopolitics into graphic storytelling. “Blood on Four Flags” shows the Netherlands East Indies as a prize fought over by Dutch, Japanese, British and US interests. Red ink equals blood, islands equal resources, and nationalism..”

📢 New Book Alert!

📜 'Synopses and Lists: Textual Practices in the Pre-Modern World' is out now!

Textual practices in #premodern societies cover many representations, from the #literary to the #pictorial. Among the most intriguing are #synopses and lists. While lists provide a complete enumeration of ideas, people, events, or terms, synopses juxtapose one against the other.

To understand how they were planned, produced, and consumed, is to gain insight into the practices of what one can call the management of #knowledge in a time before our own.

This volume offers a #historical and transcultural perspective on synopses and lists, highlighting the centrality of these textual practices to allow storing, retrieving, selecting, and organising this knowledge. Both make deliberate – yet not always explicit – choices as to what is included and excluded, thereby creating lasting hierarchies and canons.

@matratype @nicksherman I have some spreads in my book, Hand-Painted Signs of Kratie, that are very similar to those arrays.

(Kratie is a provincial capital in north-east Cambodia, located on the Mekong river.)

There is a free download of the ebook available here: https://ghostsigns.co.uk/kratie. That page also has a Khmer translation of the full text.
