The Light In The Dark, With The Neon Arms.




The Light In The Dark, With The Neon Arms. By Soner Ön. Soner Ön, 2011. 16pp., illustrated throughout, 7x10,25". Edition of 200 copies, signed and numbered.

Book description:

"Inspired by a Kate Bush song 'Symphony in Blue' (EMI 1979) this project is a search for the universal.

All images in the book are from a curated selection of Google image search results for ‘God’.

Most areas of poverty have heavy traditions towards religion, I would get church pamphlets everyday in Flatbush, some with the most beautiful imagery of light breaking through clouds. I wanted just those types of images to be my 'church pamphlet'."
