Retrospective

$30.00

by Michael Tice

With more than 80 reproductions of his work, Retrospective is the first published overview of Michael Tice’s career. The book spans over five decades from the 1970’s to the present day. Tice’s early works are rooted in a sort of domestic surrealism that evolves into a more complex exploration of male sexuality and gender roles. Many of his images can be seen as a critique of the ”American dream.” His enduring interests in the domestic space, childhood innocence, and cultural nostalgia combined with his masterful use of color and texture brings to light an American past that, perhaps, only existed within the surreal landscape of the viewers mind to begin with.

The original hardcover version of Retrospective along with a multi touch eBook was published in collaboration with New Lit Salon Press. While those editions are no longer available, new paperback and eBook editions were reissued by bd-studios.com in Dec 2017.

  • A composite of three vertical video stills against a black background. Each panel captures a high-contrast, ghostly profile of a figure in motion blur. The face is abstracted into streaks of blown-out white and warm light, creating a sense of rapid, loop-based repetition and fragmentation.
