Description
Photographers names: Luis Alberto Rodríguez, Stephen Gill, ALINA HIBBERT.
The Body, The Earth, The Uncredited Hand is a self-published zine bringing together six images by three photographers: Luis Alberto Rodríguez, Stephen Gill, and Alina Hibbert, whose practices converge around the body, the natural world, and the act of quiet, attentive looking.
Luis Alberto Rodríguez works at the intersection of documentary and intimate portraiture, photographing bodies: their weight, labour, texture, and presence. Stephen Gill approaches photography as collaboration with place itself: burying prints in earth, pressing flowers and seeds onto film, submerging images in water, letting nature alter and author the work alongside him. Alina Hibbert is a photographer and horticulturalist whose practice is rooted in botanical knowledge and a deep attunement to native landscapes, using photography to make visible what is overlooked in the natural world around us.
Together, these three practices ask what it means to be in relation: to a body, to land, to living things that precede and outlast us. The book does not argue a thesis so much as hold a question: what forms of knowledge live in the earth, in the body, in the hands that tend without being named?
