Ode to the Lake Sacalaia
Details
Alumni Author
This first monograph by interdisciplinary artist and physician C Fodoreanu is a book of deeply personal photographs and writings, depicting images of water and people taken at Lake Sacalaia in Transylvania, exploring the tension of self-discovery and identity, queer or not, and the in-between states of one's self-awareness, paying homage to younger selves searching for faith and ideals, reconnecting to what holds one true to oneself, towards making sense of the loss of potential that he witnesses in his pediatrics practice.
This gorgeous book uses a haptic approach to represent the changing depths and pressure of water and self-examination, progressively moving toward thinner paper for each of the three sections of the book. The cover has three die cuts which trace the depth of the water from the lake’s topographic lines. The fifty-two images contained in the book are reproduced as tritones with the middle color section printed with a blue ink, and are bound via sewn otabind with square spine, dust jacket and flaps, sure to please the most formidable art book collector.
