Magpile. Idea Books. Catalog — Textfield, Inc. Thomas Macker, SIGN SHOW TRADE Hardcover, 88 pp., offset 4/4, 180 x 265 mm Edition of 500 ISBN 978-0-615-76630-0 Published by In The Pines Books Conceptually, the publication is structured horizontally, with two formally similar series of photographic works bridged by photographs and sculptural objects that offer a dialogic counterpoint to the main series.
The first group of photographs focuses around seed signs and sacks advertising distinct crop strains of genetically modified corn and soy. The individual sacks and signs are set up at the center of still life compositions, staged in the basement of Macker’s home in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. The sacks hang from the fiberglass insulation and wooden boards of the basement ceiling, while the signs are placed in gravel on the floor. Mark Pezinger - publications.
