Tel Aviv: Xargol Books/Am Oved Publishers, 2007. First edition. xxii, 122pp. Oblong 4to. Glossy photo-illustrated boards; no jacket, as issued. Mild toning to edges of leaves, else fine. Signed by Shany to both the English and Hebrew title pages (front and rear, respectively).
Signed copy of this compelling selection of work from across the career of Israeli photographer Ronit Shany (b. 1950), presented according to Shany's preface not as an "orderly retrospective" but rather with one photograph linked to the next through an associative logic: "through similarity, contrast, a shared detail, irony." With an essay by Rona Sela. All text in both English and Hebrew. Uncommon.
