Sinopsis

Attraverso più di 200 immagini Tickety-Boo presenta gli scatti realizzati dal fotografo americano Charles H. Traub negli ultimi quattro anni. L'espressione inglese Tickety-Boo, che con buona approssimazione può essere tradotta con "Tutto bene, ma non proprio tutto", riassume lo spirito di questa serie fotografica: un vorticoso viaggio nell'immaginario dell'artista in cui il significato di ogni immagine appare evidente solo se contestualizzato nell'intero progetto. Scattate con il cellulare, queste fotografie rappresentano nel loro complesso un flusso di coscienza.

De la contraportada

Tickety-Boo is a block of a book with more than two hundred images edited from smart phone photographs taken during Charles H. TraubÆs everyday ramblings over the last four years. The English expression ''tickety-boo'' loosely translates to ''Everything is okay, but maybe everything isn't!'' Therein is the enigmatic crux of the images contained in the book.

The smartphone is an ingenious companion that readily makes a photographic response by Traub quick and unobtrusive û a third eye, if you will. A stream of consciousness flows in his response to places, things, and people that catch his eclectic whimsy. His subjects are ambiguous and out of context, yet once organized together within this book, create a kind of pictorial completeness, both soothing and disquieting. The photographs in each spread vividly amplify each other leading the viewer to the next sequence. The mundane becomes animated, and in the end, this is a book about the delirious conditions of our time.
