Godrevy

Více o knize

Godrevy is a lighthouse in St Ives Bay in Cornwall that warns ships of a submerged reef. Built in 1859, it has figured in paintings by several generations of the St Ives school of artists and was an inspiration to the young Virginia Woolf, who visited it during childhood holidays and later used her memories in To the Lighthouse (1927). This title is made up of a series of triptychs, which consist of separate photographs taken one after the other. Their purpose is to get away from a standard panoramic landscape and surprise the viewer into looking more carefully.
