The Late Show

Julianna Foster and Nadia Hironaka collaborated in producing The Late Show book in the late fall of 2005 and winter of 2006. The book accompanies Hironaka’s video installation of the same name installed at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts Morris Gallery, Philadelphia, PA in the spring of 2006. Printed at The University of the Arts offset lithography in the Borowsky Center for Publication Arts with the assistance of Lori Spencer. Other print processes by Foster include screen-print, letterpress and inkjet on film with an edition of 100. An audio CD is also included with the book.

Artist Statement

My most recent work includes a series of images that represent distinct narratives; which are informed for the most part by my interest in cinema and its relationship to photography. The selected work reflects an ongoing investigation into the ways that the photographic image can portray a psychological relationship between the characters in each image or series of images and of course between the viewer and the subject. By exploring how the individual image can transcend its own limits, and by association, provide the opportunity for a pictorial narrative to unfold I hope that each story forms something of a larger narrative that continues to reveal itself in a variety of forms, be it a photograph, book or video. All of which rely on the fundamentals of narrative to examine and comment on the human experience.
