Barry Schwabsky reviews 'Lina Scheynius: My Photo Books' — an 11-book boxed autobiography in intimate snapshots and nudes from @jbebooks — @bordercrossingsmag⁠ ⁠ "…Scheynius cultivates an aesthetic that is sidelong and elusive even in showing the naked body—the artist’s own or that of others. The thread that runs through this nearly 15-year-long project is an assumption of intimacy. Or rather, I should say the “fiction” of intimacy, for the viewer remains, after all, a voyeur who, much as he or she may enter into the mood so elegantly conjured by the artist, remains a stranger to the nitty-gritty details. With their pale, washed-out colors—or soft, low-contrast tones in the case of those that are monochromatic—these glancing images often seem to use light as a veil intervening between the viewer and the subject, or, on the contrary, as a luminous haze that envelops both the gaze and what it seeks out but in either case emphasizing atmosphere over fact. Scheynius is not documenting her life, it seems, so much as already recollecting it in the very present in which it is lived."⁠ ⁠ Read the full review via linkinbio.⁠ ⁠ @linascheynius #linascheynius @mr_tranquil_tranquil_waters⁠ https://www.instagram.com/p/CZKbzgJpOR_/?utm_medium=tumblr
