Time Based Editions proposes an ingenious new format: an audio track combines narration, soundscapes and instructions that guide you through a photography book. Kanal and CIVA present the premiere of the third book in this series: Me, Le Corbusier, and a friend. In 1911, Agust Klipstein and his friend Charles-Édouard Jeanneret (the later Le Corbusier) set off on a seven-month trip to "the Orient". The visual cargo of Me, Le Corbusier, and a friend consist of the photographs these two young Swiss men took on this trip, using a single, shared camera and glass plates – a physical effort that is hard to imagine today. The plates’ imperfections create a sense of primitive authenticity. The audio component is structured around a fictional dialogue between the two protagonists. In this dialogue, artist David Bergé imagines how the young men move through different landscapes and encounter themselves during the seven-month journey.
