Zwei nicht unbekannte, aber ungenannte Fotografen brechen nach Memphis auf, um [einem ebenfalls nicht unbekannten, dito ungenannten] Meister der Farbfotografie auf seinem home turf eine hommage zu erweisen. (schaden.com). - The place is Memphis, hometown of a well-known color photographer of the past. The time is now. Two photographers, who prefer to stay unknown, set out on a trip to the south, to pay hommage and at the time proofread and counter Eggleston´s imagery with their own. What is the american dream they ask, and why do the cows fly? (schaden.com). "Auf dem Weg zum Kult." Freddy Langer, F.A.Z. - Das Buch enthält außer auf den Titelseiten keinen Text oder bibliographische Daten. Die sw Photographien dürften von Gossage, die farbigen von Parr stammen, die sich hier eine anonyme Hommage an Eggleston erlauben. Aud Titelseite innen: „750 copies USA. Printed in China“ und auf 3. Titelseite: „750 copies Europe“. (HCA)
Text engl. - Gossage demonstrating why he is arguably the best American photobook-maker of the last 30 years. (Gerry Badger. In: http://www.bjp-online.com/british-journal-of-photography/report/1646009/top). - Check entry. - Nur Kurztitelaufnahme 04.2012.
Text engl. - „In the Spring of 2009, John Gossage and Alec Soth traveled together to New Zealand to work on a joint photography project. For both, it was a trip of departures. Gossage has been creating photographic literature in black-and-white for over 40 years, and this trip yielded one of the first bodies of work he had ever produced in color. Soth's work with the 8×10 view camera has inspired an entire generation of his contemporaries, and leaving it behind was key to approaching the world from a fresh visual perspective. The results - two hardback volumes, slipcased - represent a major shift of vision for these two vastly important American photographers. This publication represents the culmination of that trip. Both the concept and the content of the book have been driven by the uniqueness of the collaboration and the primacy of the photobook to the artistic practice of both Soth and Gossage. Essentially two books in one, The Auckland Project showcases a playful attention to materials and presentation by presenting the two photographers' work separately but creatively combined through the device of the book and its housing.“ (Publisher’s text, 11.2012).
