DESCRIPTION

In The Marble, Geeting pushes photography to the edge of absurdity and back again. Working at the intersection of commercial gloss and fashion fantasy, stock image neutrality, and the strangeness of amateur imagemaking, Geeting builds a visual language that is both highly polished and deeply confounding in its narrative. The result is a book as humorous as it is heartfelt – an offering of staged sincerity wrapped in surreal detail.

Geeting’s career began in 2012, shortly after graduating from the School of Visual Arts in 2011. While working at a juice bar, he photographed in his spare time and posted images to Tumblr, where his distinctive approach quickly drew attention and led him into commercial and fashion photography. His art practice would continue to build from these worlds and blur the lines between image distinctions – an approach that carries through into The Marble, where the tension between chaos and control is rendered playful and alive, everyday objects become characters, emotions are suggested through colour and texture, and narrative logic gives way to visual rhythm.

At its most intimate, the book flirts with existentialism; at its most extreme, it may be the first photo book to seriously consider the perspective of an ant.

The book opens with a foreword by musician and artist Caroline Polachek, whose own work shares Geeting’s fascination with surface, sensation, and the eroding distinction between fact and fiction that defines the current moment. Ultimately, The Marble asks its viewers: What happens when photography lets go of itself – and its ego? The result is something weirdly and beautifully tender.
