In Most Tides An Island, the new image-text book by Professor Nicholas Muellner (Image Text MFA and Media Arts, Sciences and Studies), has been named one of ten books shortlisted for the Aperture/Paris Photo Photobook of the Year Award.
This international award is the most prestigious among the annual recognition given to photographic books. Published by SPBH Editions, London, Muellner’s 2017 book is at once a glimpse of contemporary post-Soviet queer life, a meditation on solitude and desire, and an inquiry into the nature of photography and poetry in a world consumed by cruelty, longing, resignation and hope. In Most Tides An Island has also been selected for the 2017 Kassel Photobook Award and reviewed in Aperture, Photoworks, Tank Magazine, Collector’s Daily and 1000 Words Photography. He will be reading from the book at The Photographer’s Gallery in London and Shakespeare & Co. in Paris in November, 2017.
