{"product_id":"osmosis-alvin-booth-2006","title":"Osmosis — Alvin Booth, 2006","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"96\" data-end=\"487\"\u003eAlvin Booth’s \u003cem data-start=\"110\" data-end=\"119\"\u003eOsmosis\u003c\/em\u003e, published in 2006 by Galerie Vevais, is a quietly carnal meditation on transformation, fluidity, and the body’s spectral potential. Printed with an almost alchemical sepia tonality, the book conjures an eroticism that is less explicit than osmotic — images of limbs, hair, skin, and breath blur into one another, merging anatomical fact with dream-state suggestion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"489\" data-end=\"886\"\u003eBooth, trained in both prosthetics and photography, stages bodies not just as subjects but as mutable vessels. His figures often appear submerged, suspended, or merging with natural forms: bone becomes petal, tendon becomes fibre, hair becomes cloud. The softcover book has the feel of an artefact — textured, grainy, and intimate — suggesting a tactile proximity to the very surfaces it depicts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"888\" data-end=\"1257\"\u003e\u003cem data-start=\"888\" data-end=\"897\"\u003eOsmosis\u003c\/em\u003e resists categorisation: it is neither pure photobook nor fetish object, but something in between, closer perhaps to a ritual manual for corporeal awareness. It belongs to a lineage of works that include Hans Bellmer’s anatomical deliriums and Francesca Woodman’s disappearing acts — but Booth’s voice is calmer, more speculative, more about touch than trauma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1259\" data-end=\"1629\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1259\" data-end=\"1268\"\u003eTitle\u003c\/strong\u003e: Osmosis\u003cbr data-start=\"1277\" data-end=\"1280\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1280\" data-end=\"1299\"\u003eArtist \/ Author\u003c\/strong\u003e: Alvin Booth\u003cbr data-start=\"1312\" data-end=\"1315\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1315\" data-end=\"1323\"\u003eDate\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2006\u003cbr data-start=\"1329\" data-end=\"1332\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1332\" data-end=\"1363\"\u003eTechnique \/ Printing Method\u003c\/strong\u003e: Photogravure reproduction\u003cbr data-start=\"1390\" data-end=\"1393\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1393\" data-end=\"1415\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eMedium \/ Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e: Softcover\u003cbr data-start=\"1426\" data-end=\"1429\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1429\" data-end=\"1448\"\u003eDimensions (cm)\u003c\/strong\u003e: approx. 16 x 25 cm\u003cbr data-start=\"1468\" data-end=\"1471\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1471\" data-end=\"1491\"\u003eLanguage (books)\u003c\/strong\u003e: English\u003cbr data-start=\"1500\" data-end=\"1503\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1503\" data-end=\"1520\"\u003ePages (books)\u003c\/strong\u003e: Unstated\u003cbr data-start=\"1530\" data-end=\"1533\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1533\" data-end=\"1563\"\u003ePublisher \/ Editor (books)\u003c\/strong\u003e: Galerie Vevais \/ Editor: Alexander Scholz\u003cbr data-start=\"1606\" data-end=\"1609\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1609\" data-end=\"1622\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e: NEW\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DaRWIN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52483751117138,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/7058\/0818\/files\/TODWEBB_copy_0bbfec9d-068f-431a-8868-1492d22eb3b1.jpg?v=1768468057","url":"https:\/\/thedarwin.es\/products\/osmosis-alvin-booth-2006","provider":"DaRWIN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
