Book Review : 'From Under Dark Clouds'

This essay explores our current darkness, through the vehicle of the “Trump” phenomenon. If we gain access to “Trump” as a soul phenomenon, what can it reveal to us? What lies “behind” or as the “within” of this strange appearance bursting so violently onto the world stage, confounding all attempts to understand, or at least control? What unknown future is pressing forward, seeking entry into the real world though the unconscious agency of Trump? Must we repel this psychologically “alien other” with fear and loathing, or can we receive “him” with open hearts and minds ready to serve? My new email is jcw@johnwoodcock.com.au

Nanna Debois-Buhl--Cloud Behavior, 2020

Cloud Behavior is a study of clouds through photographs, drawings, essays, and interviews. During summer 2018, Buhl photographed clouds on medium-format film and experimented with the images in the darkroom. Buhl’s cloud photographs connect to historical thinking about clouds, to scientific research on cloud behaviour, and to the mystical and meteorological contemplation of clouds by August Strindberg. Today, climate researchers study cloud behaviour to understand how global warming affects the movements of clouds and how, conversely, the movements of clouds might affect global warming. Strindberg and climate researchers share an interest in reading signs and omens in the clouds – and do so with the aid of photography and other means of visualization. This connection is unfolded in various ways in the texts of the book. The texts are accompanied by pencil drawings, computer simulations and mythological depictions of clouds. Cloud Behavior thus forms a polyphonic narrative of clouds across disciplines and time periods. CONTRIBUTORS Dehlia Hannah / Jan Olaf Härter / Ida Marie Hede / Andrea Fjordside Pontoppidan
