Photobooks

Double Feature is a new photobook edited by Mark Alice Durant. Durant invited 44 writers to respond with ekphrastic texts to over 200 vernacular photographs — in sepia, black-and-white, and color — from the archive of artist and collector Patrick Pound. These images reflect Pound’s ongoing investigation of photographic materiality amid the shift from analogue to digital.

Contributors include Kim Beil, David Campany, Tim Carpenter, Clément Chéroux, Gem Fletcher, Ahndraya Parlato, David Levi Strauss, Rebecca Bengal, Susan Bright, Qiana Mestrich, Nate Lippens, Emmanuel Iduma, Jonathan Lethem, Lynne Tillman, among others.
