STRÖMHOLM (Christer). Poste restante. [Stockholm, Art and Theory Publishing, 2016], small 4°, unpaginated (120 p.), 96 photographic reproductions in black, publisher's boards, dust jacket, in original box. Text in Swedish. Complete with DVD "Ferme les yeux et regarde". Second edition after the 1967 original. 1/100 head copy, justified and signed by the photographer Joakim Strömholm, son of Christer, including a black print, titled, justified and signed by Joakim Strömholm on the spine. Originally published in 1967, "Poste Restante" has become one of the most important books on photography, ranking alongside the best-known publications by Robert Frank and Ed van der Elsken. This photographic autobiography details numerous journeys around the world in a book constructed like an existentialist diary. Juxtaposing urbanity and the macabre, combining portraiture and street scenes with abstract photographic fragments, the book employs metaphor and visual pun in an incessant stream of consciousness. In its progression and conception, this book prefigures much of contemporary photographic publishing. In mint condition.
