My new book  “Working Tables” now available at the bdp store… bookdummypress: “Working Tables” by Victor Sirahttp://store.bookdummypress.com/product/working-tables-by-victor-sira This book is made of photographs Victor did at his studio. It is inspired by the correspondence between John Berger and Leon Kossoff where they exchange views about the meaning and function of the studio. “It seems to me that studio, when being used, is much more like a stomach. A place of digestion, transformation and excretion. Where images change form. Where everything is both regular and unpredictable. Where there’s no apparent order and from where all well-being comes. A full stomach is, unhappily, one of the oldest dreams in the world. No?” See more of his work → http://www.victorsira.com/VictorSira/Home.html
