Cyr, John. Developer trays. Introduction by Lyle Rexer. Brooklyn, Powerhouse Books (2014). 4°. 144 S. mit Farbtafeln. OPbd. mit farbig illustr. OU. Erste Ausgabe. – Der New Yorker Fotograf und Professor für Fotografie am Suffolk County Community College John Cyr (geb. 1991) präsentiert Entwickler-Schalen bekannter amerik. Fotografen mit ihren Gebrauchsspuren, darunter von Ansel Adams, Sally Mann, Minor White, Bruce Davidson, Tom Baril, Bill Burke, Elliott Erwitt, Larry Fink, Aaron Siskind, Joel-Peter Witkin und Ralph Gibson. – „As sure as the age of silver has come to an end, there remain few but extraordinary and dedicated darkroom practitioners such as Cyr who continue to work with chemistry and processes more or less unchanged since the early days of the medium. With an unrivaled passion for the darkroom and all its accouterments Cyr set out to document the actual developer trays of many of the world’s most renowned photographers. Cyr celebrates in stunning large-format color photographs the intimate materiality of the developer tray itself and the ephemeral presence of the artist within it. This revelatory work showcases the ubiquitous developer tray as an essential vehicle of analog photography that defies modern digital photographic advances: its material nature and functionality will not become obsolete“ (Powerhouse Books). – Tadellos.
