Jason Fulford: Hotel Oracle
Edited by Lorenzo De Rita.
”My neighbor June believes in Zeus” is the arresting opening sentence of Jason Fulford’s latest photo book. At once humorous and full of reverence, Hotel Oracle is a sustained visual meditation on the cosmos--what constitutes it, what its future might be and how to reconcile the world of the supernatural with the world of the 99-cent store. Fulford’s photos of everyday scenes and people search out the clues and signs of the prophetic and the numinous, readily mingling them with the banal and the preposterous. The pictures in Hotel Oracle were taken in the U.S., Canada, Italy, Greece, the Czech Republic, Poland, South Korea, Japan, Hungary, India, Bermuda and Germany. Fulford is a photographer, cofounder of J&L Books and a contributing editor to Blind Spot magazine. His books include Sunbird (2000), Crushed (2003), Raising Frogs For $ (2006) and The Mushroom Collector (2010).

"On Friday, October 25th, between 6:00 and 7:30pm, go to 481 Eighth Avenue (at 34th Street), in New York City, and look for Trophonius. Please be discreet, and everything should run according to plan." So reads the invitation to Jason Fulford's book signing this week at the ICP, which further promises a "brief and transcendental exchange" in conjunction with the New York launch of his enigmatic new photobook, Hotel Oracle, from which this image is reproduced. continue to blog
