This book surveys Davey's work, bringing together her photos and film-stills; her writings on photography, memory, art and historical figures; alongside a suite of new essays and interviews. Davey examines the texture of life: defaced currency, empty whiskey bottles, the dust under a record player's needle. She also acknowledges that photos can be mementos, and for some time has printed her images as a kind of correspondence, sending them through the mail; when unfolded, they bear the creases and stamps of transit. Davey's films and essays are characterized by a similar intimacy, evinced by the artist's own peripatetic, literary mind. These are some of the figures that haunt her imagery: Walter Benjamin, Mary Wollstonecraft, Jean Genet and Chantal Ackerman. As with her photographic accumulations of fragments, Davey approaches these touchstones indirectly, drawing from their letters, journals and lesser celebrated works to understand how they committed to living creative lives. 600 10 $a Davey, Moyra $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Photography, Artistic $v Exhibitions. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008108790 650 0 $a Photography $x Awards $z Canada $v Exhibitions. 655 7 $a Photobooks. $2 aat $0 http://vocab.getty.edu/aat/300265728 655 7 $a Photobooks. $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026144 655 7 $a Exhibition catalogs. $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026098 700 12 $a Davey, Moyra. $t Photographs. $k Selections. 700 1 $a Morel, GaeÌlle, $e organizer. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2007017905 710 2 $a Ryerson Image Centre (Toronto, Ont.), $e host institution. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2012027915 710 2 $a Steidl Verlag, $e publisher. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/nr2003006628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191210024027.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=46DEAE321B1B11EAA846F92397128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
