John Pfahl, Waterfall, Nazraeli Press, Tucson, 2000

accordion with slipcase

A really beautiful accordion of color panoramic photographs of waterfalls printed on a deep black background. The locations of all the waterfalls are noted with sites from New York, California, Hawaii and inbetween. Pfahl (1939-2020) has created the perfect match between his panoramic photographs and the expandable nature of the accordion format.

The publication is accompanied by a sheet with a text by Deborah Tall musing about all the different ways that we understand the idea and the thingness of waterfalls.

16 double-sided pages, individually 4.5" x 8.5", and when unfolded 11ft 4".
