Über das Buch
Jeanette May’s “Tech Vanitas” photography series embraces our anxiety over new technology and love for beautifully designed, obsolete machines. This book is a catalogue of the New York artist’s stunning still life photographs. She clearly references 17th Century Dutch vanitas paintings and their air of craft guilds, international trade, and personal wealth. At the same time, the carefully disheveled compositions of familiar objects allude to product photography and advertising imagery. The sheer quantity of gadgets collected suggests mass production, waste, recycling, and the passing of time. Finally, “Tech Vanitas” reflects our nostalgia for anachronistic technology and yearning for the latest enchanted objects.
