Produktinformationen "Stars at Noon"
Weaving essay, memoir, and natural history with biography, STARS AT NOON is one artist's pilgrimage through a book and a love letter to its author, James Agee, whose untimely death becomes the thread connecting it all. We begin in the landscape of the American South, from the search for a lost grave on the author's Middle Georgia farm, to the hazy blue mysteries of the Cumberland Plateau in Agee's native Tennessee, and on to the hills of Hale County, Alabama, where in 1936, Agee found the subject of LET US NOW PRAISE FAMOUS MEN, his 1941 masterwork and collaboration with photographer Walker Evans that would change his life. Through seamless storytelling via wanderings in such disparate settings as The Lightning Field, artist Walter De Maria's 1977 installation on the High Plains desert of New Mexico, to the intimate streets of Greenwich Village, STARS AT NOON delivers a meditation on art and beauty, themes that have informed the author's visual artmaking for more than thirty years.
