He - A landscape photographic work developed as a book format
He is a publication which aimed to investigate the potential of creative collaboration between writer (David Chandler, Professor of Photography, Plymouth University) and photographer, both male, who both shared the experience of losing their fathers. The book’s concept was developed by Kippin and brings together narratives based upon memories of their fathers, reflecting personal histories but revealing something of a wider social history. By incorporating landscape images, Kippin attempts to link the work as a personal and meditative process with the wider, more objective currency of landscape photographic practice.
The work is a new kind of publication which attempts to synthethize memory, photography and prose; bringing together individual subjective experiences regarding death and loss which are at the same time truthful and recognizable to the reader. 'He' is published by Havelock Press (2011), an imprint of Art Editions North and distributed by Cornerhouse Publications (ISBN: 978-0-9564392-0-8) and was supported by Arts Council England.
