"Born in a Caul, 2011", photograph, pigment inks on archival paper, Vincent Ward.
A large format, image-based book, Inhale/Exhale is a collision of film, photography and paint that unsettles and allures as it explores the fragility, disruption and transience of life.
The images in this 180-page book are based on the award-winning film-maker turned exhibiting artist's two shows in Auckland and his forthcoming solo show in the prestigious Shanghai Biennale.
Inhale/Exhale (Ron Sang Publications, $135) includes provocative and informative essays by Roger Horrocks, Andrew Clifford and Ward himself, which are best read between your first and second immersion in his highly original and probing world.
