First edition of Eve Sonneman’s debut photobook, Real Time (1976), a series of 46 black-and-white diptychs taken between 1968 and 1974.
In pairing adjacent frames—“separated by as little as a fraction of a second”—Sonneman dissolves the idea of the single decisive moment. Instead, her work reveals time as continuous, mutable, and democratic: every instant equally alive. “Her paired photographs speak at once to the nature of seeing (as mediated by the camera) and to the nature of the world,” wrote The New York Times, “depicting the visual world as a place of marvelous variety, malleable and fickle.”
Tall folio in original stiff ivory wrappers.
New York: Printed Matter, 1976.
Light tears and minimal wear to cover and binding.
