Yes Yes We'Re Magicians Is A Compilation Of Anonymous, Vintage Blackandwhite Photographs Mostly Found On Ebay From The Personal Collection Of The Canadian Artist, Collector And Writer Jonah Samson. Titled After A Line From Samuel Becketts Play, Waiting For Godot, The Dominant Mood Of The Book Recalls Becketts Take On Human Existence As Tragicomic. Samson, Too, Reflects On The Absurdity Of Life Through Slapstick And Dark Humor, And A Warmhearted Affection For The Mysteries Of Human Gestures. Involved In All Aspects Of Making The Book, Samson Has Created A Carefully Orchestrated Narrative Flow Between Various Kinds Of Vernacular Photographs. Whether A Blurry Snapshot Or A Formal Portrait, The Images Draw Out The Uncanny And Magical Qualities Of Photographs. Free Of Any Description, The Compelling Pictures Are Allowed To Speak For Themselves. They Are Often Imperfect, With Figures Disappearing Into Misty And Watery Surfaces, And The Details Of Time And Place Becoming Obscured. Establishing The Mood At The Beginning With A Mysterious Color Photograph Of An Erupting Volcano, The Book Interweaves Forgotten Moments From The Past Where Incidents Of The Celebratory, Melancholic, Surreal And Bizarre Are Put Into Dialogue. As An Artist Who Often Reworks Found Photographs, Jonah Samson Brings A Distinctive Sensibility To This Book And Treats The Form As An Artwork In Itself.
