German photographer Luxemburg takes photos at night, with long exposures. Their arrangement in this collection is in evocatively named sections such as Vertiginous Exhilaration, The
Unsolicited, The Spore, Memory Wall Paper; included are the libretto and score for Opera Liebeslied/My Suicides. A former director of the Centre National de la Photographie in Paris (R矇gis
Durand), a poet (Douglas Park), and a philosopher (Alexander Garc穩a D羹ttmann) offer some interpretation of her work, but the book consists primarily of full-page plates, presented in a
horizontal format (12x9"). Annotation 穢2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
