iylshowcase: Reading Room - Clemens Fantur ‘Aurora Cordial’From the rural province of north eastern Philippines, we are brought a reflection on longing that entwines both east and west sensibilities.“But you are here,in the countryof my mind,wiping away the mapsof miston the windows pane,lying in bed beside me,as the pulse of the pillow and sheets - even the very throb of rain - begin to quicken.”by Danton RemotoPublished by Kerber, ‘Aurora Cordial’ tells the visual tale of the Austrian photographers trip to and around the Philippines. Drawn by love and caught by the undiscovered, the diary is a collection of thoughts, encounters, discoveries and impressions describing ‘Aurora’; the roman goddess of dawn, the dream that keeps the longing that alive. While also standing as a more intimate narrative of the name ‘Cordial’, the family who provided a sanctuary for Fantur, a name that holds ‘a love story spanning the continents’ and one that can be seen to represent countless Filipino lives. -- source link
