Without pomp or fanfare, he showed us his highly original, meticulously produced and strangely unclassifiable photo stories. We published the work as soon as possible \u2013 <em>Vampire<\/em> appeared in \u2013 and on the cover of \u2013 8 Magazine, in the spring of 2009. Gray also self-published a slender purple limited edition book of the work, with words by his longterm collaborator Paul Summers, which would become the first volume in his series <em>The Dream That Days Break<\/em>. He went on to produce <em>Surge<\/em> in May 2009, and <em>Thunderbolts Way<\/em> in October the same year. <em>Drift<\/em>, the final volume, has just been released.<\/p>\n<p>These stories, from, if indeed they are from anywhere, China, Romania, Australia and the United States, inhabit neither the territory of fact nor fiction, yet in traversing that frontier, convey a mood quickly identifiable, but just as quickly lost. It\u2019s a kind of torpid dislocation, a sense of transience, of disquiet that builds subtly through glances half shared, landscapes never fully seen, through signs and symbols of a global society that\u2019s lost its direction. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Surge_2\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.foto8.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/Surge_2.jpg?resize=500%2C281&#038;ssl=1\" height=\"281\" width=\"500\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><br \/><span class=\"photo_copyright\">Surge<\/span><\/p>\n<p>His achievement in two of the four works is in the way he contextualises a personal story, however ambiguous, within a wider political landscape, one that isn\u2019t explicitly stated, but that pervades each work. From the nothing-works stasis of a post-communist regime in Romania in <em>Vampire<\/em>, to the prospering China of <em>Surge<\/em>, on the brink of embracing the so-called free market, there is a palpable sense of the exterior world. <em>Vampire\u2019s<\/em> children are thin, angular, one dead. What haunts Romania, the photographs tell us, is not Count Dracula, but the legacy of grinding poverty. China, by contrast, is breaking free, flying high. But Gray doesn\u2019t stray too far from the old regime in <em>Surge<\/em>. As Summers\u2019 text also observes, it was too long in the making to quickly forget. <\/p>\n<p>\u2018on people\u2019s square<br \/>ghost horses stampede;<br \/>the clatter of hooves<br \/>like some percussive hymn.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Vampire_2\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.foto8.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/Vampire_2.jpg?resize=500%2C333&#038;ssl=1\" height=\"333\" width=\"500\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><br \/><span class=\"photo_copyright\">Vampire<\/span><\/p>\n<p>As well as the neon, the fairground rides, the internet cafes, he has captured the timeless spirit of the workers, and the Mah Jong games that punctuate daily life. His best pictures here are those that serve as metaphors for change: the small boy watching as the sand of a new football pitch is flattened in preparation for the advent of the world\u2019s favourite sport \u2122 or the grace of the man bending forward, the better to paint an immaculate yellow line in a warehouse space.<\/p>\n<p>The Australia of <em>Thunderbolts Way<\/em> is harder to read. Neither place nor people make their mark on this work. Instead, we get a sense of a character, conjured up perhaps first by Summers\u2019 spare, eloquent text, a man whose wife has left him, a man who loses on the horses, but believes his dreams will lead him to glory someday. The photographs, too, offer up someone on the lookout for a wayout: a plane, a waiting room, an almost empty parking lot, every photograph could serve as a kind of antechamber before the big checkout in the sky. Perhaps of all the four volumes, it is only here that a couple of expected images occur. There\u2019s a McDonalds sign by the side of a road, its letters a jumble. Irresistible to photograph, no doubt, but like the atmospheric lightning shot, possible to edit out. Unexpectedness characterises the other photographs. The only photograph of people in <em>Thunderbolts<\/em> is an on-high shot of tourists \u2013 the camera eye can double for the eye of this wifeless gambler \u2013 he watches the tourists watching the view, which can mean nothing to him now. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Thunderbolts_2\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.foto8.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/Thunderbolts_2.jpg?resize=500%2C333&#038;ssl=1\" height=\"333\" width=\"500\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><br \/><span class=\"photo_copyright\">Thunderbolts Way<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Drift<\/em> is similar, perhaps too similar, in mood to <em>Thunderbolts<\/em>. Summers\u2019 text \u2013 poetry fragments here \u2013 invites a reading of another gambling man sans femme. I\u2019m drawn to a reading of American Presidents. There\u2019s the car park \u2013 where Deep Throat sold Nixon down the river, a discarded dress in the back of a car for sale, a Lewinsky relic, I\u2019d hope. Gray\u2019s final image of the Yank Rope sign, invokes Presidents Bush, as the red Yank Rope \u2013 Yank moving seamlessly from verb to adjective \u2013 dangles, noose-like. Of course I\u2019m just having fun with the reading of these images, but Gray\u2019s clever sequencing, oblique angles and refusal to define or really even talk about these dreamlike works permit this.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Drift_2\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.foto8.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/Drift_2.jpg?resize=500%2C333&#038;ssl=1\" height=\"333\" width=\"500\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><br \/><span class=\"photo_copyright\">Drift<\/span><\/p>\n<p> What he does talk about, with a purist\u2019s zeal, however, is the idea of self-publishing:<\/p>\n<p> \u201cTrawling over documents for a history exam from the French revolution I came across the \u2018pamphleteers\u2019 \u2013 writers and printers who operated outside of the law, printing secretly. The pamphlets were so plentiful they were unable to be controlled. This is true free speech and the idea that there were print machines in the back of caf\u00e9s churning out these pamphlets does something for me, he says.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In these \u2018difficult times for publishing\u2019 (repeat ad nauseum), Gray has created a remarkably successful enterprise. In effect, he has commissioned himself to do this work, and has been extremely disciplined in recouping the money for each project before he starts on the next (<em>Vampire<\/em> is all but sold out; <em>Surge<\/em> 75% sold). His concomitant career as a graphic designer stands him in good stead to turn out exquisite packages, wrapped in clear cellophane, each containing a limited edition print as well as the book. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"TDTDB_boxset_small\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.foto8.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/TDTDB_boxset_small.jpg?resize=500%2C334&#038;ssl=1\" height=\"334\" width=\"500\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><br \/><span class=\"photo_copyright\">The Dream that Days Break boxset<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>The Dream that Days Break<\/em>, as well as being a neat title for his portfolio, sums up his philosophy in making these dream projects possible, and in the pervading mood of his photographs, reminding you of somewhere you know but have never been, or at least not under waking skies.<br \/>Max Houghton<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"..\/cat--Small-Imprints--Books_selpublished.html\">The Dream the Days Break series is available from the Foto8 online bookshop.<\/a> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div>Max Houghton reviews David Gray&#8217;s self-published book series: The Dream that Days Break<br \/><em><\/em><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2354,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[22],"tags":[777,1198,1197,1196,1199,1200],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.5 -
