Hoopers Electric – Meditations in Atrament. PAUL GRAHAM: “A Shimmer of Possibility” (2009. New Orleans (Woman Eating), 2004 By Michael Almereyda Arranged on a shelf, or stacked flat, the twelve slender books comprising Paul Graham’s A Shimmer of Possibility make for an alluring chromatic spectacle. The bindings are uniform, but their colors range across three shades of green, two grays and two purples, bright red, blue, orange, brown. Graham might have been in danger of generating just another photo book — a production of burdensome bulk — if he hadn’t hit upon the idea of slicing his project into these twelve separate volumes, books containing an average of 14 photographs apiece, images distilled from visits to one or two (but in one case, four) American cities.
There’s nothing systematic about the series. John Szarkowski has made a distinction between serial photographic images that “succeed each other, like marchers in a parade” and those, such as Joseph Albers’ eccentrically sequenced photo collages, that “interact like prizefighters or dancers.”1 Also: St. Beeg.
