Book Launch | MITAN by Éric Antoine | Thu Oct 1 | RSVP link in bio
After a great first event of the fall with Nicola Cappellari last week, our next gathering is just around the corner, and it’s happening next Thursday with a photographer we’ve admired and followed for a while.
On October 1, we’ll have the pleasure of welcoming Éric Antoine for an evening around his colossal new book, MITAN.
For those who are familiar with his work yet, Éric is a major figure in contemporary wet collodion photography. For the past fifteen years, he has devoted much of his practice to the process, working with large-format cameras and making his own glass ambrotypes by hand, from preparing the chemistry to framing the final photographs. His work has been exhibited in galleries and museums in France, Europe and the US, and has become particularly known for the way he uses this 19th-century process to make contemporary images.
A few months ago, we shared the crowdfunding campaign for MITAN and encouraged you to help bring the book to life. We’re especially happy to now have Éric with us, with the finished publication in hand.
MITAN is the third book in a five-volume cycle that Éric is building over 25 years, following Ensemble Seul (2015) and Useful Lies (2021). Published by Hemeria, it brings together 75 photographs made using wet collodion on glass.
His approach is deliberately slow and methodical. He only creates 20 photographs a year and rather than constantly looking for new subjects, he often returns to the same places and motifs, allowing them to change over time.
🛹 There’s another part of Éric’s photographic history we’re excited to bring into the club too. He spent around fifteen years photographing skateboarding and travelling the world for magazines. He still skates today and will bring a limited edition of skateboards featuring his photographs, signed and numbered, alongside copies of his previous books, plus a selection of heliogravures, piezography prints, ambrotypes.
