Tiré du site Internet de JRP/Ringier: "Artist's book. This artist's book is a collection of 85 landscape drawings and sketches by Euan Macdonald that were produced over a three year period in many parts of the world. In the small scenes, Macdonald reflects on the abstract and concrete forms of ordinary landscape phenomena, providing a strange synthesis of familiarity and contingency, which in turn provokes an uncertainty about the ordinary. On Macdonald's imagery, critic Ralph Rugoff says: "Macdonald quietly unsettles the viewers' faith about what exactly is - or is not - happening in the picture he or she is looking at ... These pockets of uncertainty are enhanced by Macdonald'ps deliberately style-less or impersonal approach to making images." The book's title comes from the last line of the short text "A Little Ramble" (1914) by the Swiss writer Robert Walser (1878-1956). A reprint of "A Little Ramble" (in the original German, and the English translation by Tom Whalen) is also included in the book as a detached insert. Interspersed throughout the book are reproductions of 22 found Swiss postcards that were produced circa 1912-1915-in proximity to the same time and place where Walser wrote "A little ramble." Each postcard image reflects a coincidental scene (within Walser's text), producing a loose photographic narrative of the original text. Published with Western Bridge, Seattle within the context of the Vancouver Special series, edited by Kathy Slade."
