BOOK OF THE WEEK — A Pick by Jake Bartman

Jake Bartman is a writer and journalist living in Santa Fe. You can contact him at jbartman15@gmail.com.

The Island Position

Jake Bartman selects The Island Position Photographs by John Lehr, published by Mack, London, England, 2019, as Book of the Week.

"In the context of Lehr’s work these spaces are arresting, due in part to the urgency of the photographer’s project: an exploration of the existential threat brick-and-mortar businesses face from the rise of e-commerce. His achievement is to capture his subject in a way that’s neither naively sentimental nor unreflexively critical, at the same time as he eschews any claim to objectivity.

…The book’s title is a term from print advertising — the “island position” is an ad slot surrounded by editorial content — and one of Lehr’s images is of a wall adorned with an oversized tropical beach scene, with several islands situated on the horizon. But these self-referential aspects are handled skillfully enough that the collection’s focus doesn’t stray into a meditation on the photographer’s role. Instead, Lehr maintains his focus on the human stakes of the shift to e-commerce. "—Jake Bartman Read more
