Foam: Talent, Fall 2008, No. 16

Foam

This volume is a collection of "bed portraits" edited from the numerous photos submitted over a two-year period for Foam magazine's annual Talent Call. The idea for a book came about as the editors at Foam noticed how frequently images of beds recurred throughout the works sent in by young photographers. It soon became apparent that this often-ignored item of furniture was full of narrative potential, each image telling a story about its occupant(s) vastly different from the next. "The bed is the place where we sleep, where we make love, where most of us are born and where most of us will die," stated Marcel Feil, editor of the magazine. "In a certain sense, the bed is a metaphor for life." This giftworthy book includes images by nearly 50 photographers.

A Book of Beds: A Selection of Foam Magazine Talent Photographs

Arts & Photography

Photography & Video

Foam presents a selection of nine young visual artists for whom the creative process can be as much subject of an image as its final result. The photographic image as such and how we perceive it, is one of the most important focuses in their work. It seems like there are no specific rules, nor boundaries. At a certain point one might even ask if it's still photography we are looking at.
