●內容簡介——

在2020年11月3日美國大選前的這段時間裏，特朱-科爾開始拍攝他在馬薩諸塞州劍橋市的廚房櫃枱。在夏爾丹、塞尚和荷蘭大師以及勞拉-萊廷斯基和揚-格羅弗等當代攝影師的靜物傳統中工作，他在五個星期的時間裏每天都進行拍攝。與那些傑出的前輩不同，科爾把他的安排完全留給了機會，"碗和盤子在它們不可預知的星座中移動"。所出現的是一幅令人驚訝的畫像，跨越時間，在社會、文化和政治動盪的時期，一個家庭的一個廚房櫃枱。與照片同時出現的是一篇長篇的書面文章，其關注的範圍很廣--飢餓、禁食、哀悼、奴隸制、親密關係、繪畫、詩歌和攝影史--就像照片的界限一樣。文字和攝影序列與劍橋大學的一本匿名手寫的18世紀食譜穿插在一起。一部明亮而富有人情味的作品，以我們所期待的特朱-科爾的形式上的大膽和斜向的智慧呈現。

In the period leading up to the November 3, 2020 elections in the United States, Teju Cole began to photograph his kitchen counter in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Working in the still life tradition of Chardin, Cezanne, and the Dutch masters, as well as such contemporary photographers as Laura Letinsky and Jan Groover, he photographed every day over the course of five weeks. Unlike those illustrious forbears, Cole left his arrangements entirely to chance, “the bowls and plates moving in their unpredictable constellations.” What emerges is a surprising portrait, across time, of one kitchen counter in one home at a time of social, cultural, and political upheaval. Alongside the photographs is a long written essay, as wide-ranging in its concerns—hunger, fasting, mourning, slavery, intimacy, painting, poetry and the history of photography—as the photographs are delimited in theirs. The text and photographic sequences are interspersed with an anonymous handwritten eighteenth century cookbook from Cambridge. Golden Apple of the Sun is a luminous and humane work, presented with the formal boldness and oblique intelligence we have come to expect from Teju Cole.
