Parmi ces paysages domestiques figurent des portraits de la fille de Meeks, qui capturent l’introspection et la curiosité du début de l’âge adulte tout en rendant hommage au mystère ultime de la conscience de leur sujet. Après le succès du livre précédent de Meeks, ciprian honey Cathedral, Somersault est une réflexion concise et poétique sur la maison et les liens qui nous y attachent – d’autant plus forts qu’ils s’estompent dans la pénombre.

‘We live our lives in widening circles, rarely appreciating their nature and how they bring us back. In a year, my daughter will be leaving home and is no stranger to a similar wanderlust I once knew. As a father, I always felt it was important to instill a profound sense of place, to identify with a certain place as home, even as these ideals have, over recent years, taken on relative meaning. I photograph close to home as memory loses structure, its architecture, trying to make light speak from the fixed edges of rooms long vanished.’ – Raymond Meeks
Among these domestic landscapes are portraits of Meeks’ daughter, which capture the introspection and inquisitiveness of early adulthood while paying tribute to the ultimate mystery of their subject’s consciousness. Following the success of Meeks’ previous book, ciprian honey cathedral, Somersault is a concise, poetic reflection on home and the ties that bind us to it — all the stronger as they fade into the half-light.
