Unearthed: Finds from private photo albums
...all these women, nearly a century ago, sitting in trees like the
boys they never were are riveting.--Idra Novey "The Paris
Review"
It all began at a flea market in Frankfurt, when photo collector
Jochen Raib came across a picture of a woman wearing a summer dress
and high heels. While she looked ready for a Sunday stroll, her
delicate footwear was odd for what her photographer caught her in
the midst of doing: climbing a tree....he has since amassed 91 such
photographs, now collected in an endearing photo book simply titled
Women in Trees--Thomas Voon "Hyperallergic"
The very best [photographs] are those where the knowledge that she
is doing something mischievous is written all over the climber's
face. She is giddy with it. Who knows what became of these women?
But I like to think that, even if they were fettered by propriety
every other day of their lives, just this once, they felt
free.--Lucy Davies "The Telegraph"
