Earthquake Weather is the first monograph built around the Californian photographer Colin Dodgson’s darkroom practice. It gathers years of patient looking into a sequence that is by turns deadpan, fragile and quietly profound. Dodgson brings two sensibilities to the work: a surfer’s feel for changing conditions and a darkroom printer’s exacting precision. The pictures move between careful typologies and loose sprawl. They include book pages worn soft from handling, plastic water bottles abandoned on Japanese roadsides, contemporary memento mori that dwell on the body and its fragility, and then, without warning, gallows humour: fentanyl bottles lined up in a neat row, atmospheric CO2 readings, glimpses of his fashion work, and images from his projects with the World Land Trust. In warm, sun-faded coastal tones, the book becomes a meditation on how we accumulate things, in our bodies, through consumption and against entropy. It is a softcover with flaps, 88 pages and 60 colour plates, edited by Sarah Chaplin Espenon and designed by Loose Joints Studio.
