“KA-BOOM is a fictional explosive manual in which sourced vintage photographs encounter staged do-it-yourself explosive construction images, with the photographs Andrea Botto has shot of real non-military explosions. The result is a sophisticated enquiry of photography’s contemporary status, in which numerous questions are raised and no simple answers are given.” from “Photos as text” by Ilaria Bonacossa, published in Andrea Botto “KA-BOOM The Explosion of Landscape”, Editions Bessard, Paris 2017. Come see and touch it live, 8-12 November Paris Photo (booth H4) and Polycopies. Book signings: @ Paris Photo 9/10/11 Nov 3-4 pm @ Polycopies 11 Nov 6 pm
