THE BRIGHTEST LIGHT RUNS TOO FAST - Ren Hang
This book is a unique collector's item produced in a small series of prints. The most original quality of this publication is its thermal cover image, which only appears with the application of heat. The photographer uses the human body in his work, playing on our ideas of eroticism by placing the body in uncomfortable positions, capturing exaggerated movements and carefully arranged gestures. This body becomes objectified like an element in a still life; the interactions of the subjects with each other and with the camera become absurd and abstract, creating new forms and configurations with the human body.
