:: CATEGORIES :: > Dewi Lewis Somnambulists by Joanna Kane The Somnambulists is a book of contemporary portraits of life and death masks from the cast collection of the Edinburgh Phrenological Society. Linked to the early nineteenth-century science of phrenology, these casts preserve quasi-photographic likenesses of individuals living 150 to 200 years ago – from unknown men and women to writers and artists such as Wordsworth, Keats and Blake. Releasing her subjects from the categories of the phrenological head collection, Joanna Kane magically renders photographic likenesses from before the age of photography. Joanna Kane is a photographer based in Edinburgh. She has shown work in the UK and Europe including at the Scottish National Portrait Gallery and as part of the European Month of Photography festivals. She works at Edinburgh College of Art. Duncan Forbes is Senior Curator of Photography at the Scottish National Portrait Gallery. Author of Seeing Her Sex: Medical Archives and the Female Body, [2002], Roberta McGrath has written widely on the history of photography, medicine and gender. hardback 112 pages, 53 photographs 240mmx 297mm ISBN: 978-1-904587-56-9 Dewi Lewis Publishing Price: £19.99 Member price: £16 Enter the appropriate quantity you wish to buy below, then click the 'Add To Cart' button to place this item in your shopping cart. * - Denotes a required field.
