With Mi’raj (Arabic for “ladder” or “ascension”), his first full length monograph with TIS books, J Carrier builds upon ideas explored in his book Elementary Calculus (MACK, 2012): notions of distance and destination, of hope and providence. He also scrutinizes more recent preoccupations: faith, futility, and the possibility of transcendence. Working over several years, Carrier chose to survey the Old City, East and West Jerusalem, and other areas in the West Bank, engaging directly with the real and tangible artifacts of thousands of years of history and belief. Using an iterative and recursive process, Carrier’s result is a deft photographic landscape woven from the fragments of parallel and divergent realities.

—

Al-Isra’ wal-Mi’raj describes the journey taken by the prophet Muhammad with the angel Gabriel, from the ‘farthest place’ – the site of the modern day Al Aqsa Mosque in the Old City – to Heaven. This site is not only sacred to Muslims, but also to Jews as The Temple Mount, location of the First and Second Temples, and to Christians – where God created Adam from dust, and where Jacob, his head pillowed on stones, dreamt of angels.

The narrative of the prophet Muhammad’s ascension provided a framework for Carrier to explore the universal idea of human aspiration. In looking, we find ourselves at limits – physical, spiritual, existential – reckoning with the materials of the world – facades and stones. “It’s both examination and exhumation,” he says. “Through these concrete objects, the immaterial essence of a land rent between the sacred, the ideological and the actual is revealed.”

Congrats to and thanks to and for including this on MoMA’s 2022 list of favorites!

“The debut monograph by Los Angeles–based photographer and filmmaker Clifford Prince King, Orange Grove chronicles the period after he moved to an apartment on East Orange Grove Avenue with Malcolm Marquez, a longtime friend and collaborator. Orange Grove was a home and safe haven for King and his friends. We are reminded that s*x and intimacy are fundamentally collaborations, and that bedrooms can also be places for dreaming and healing. As viewers, we are invited into their home, a domestic space redefined through tender and moving portraits of friends and lovers. The warm glow of the photographs invites us in. We are made to feel part of King’s narrative, safe within these walls of vulnerability, q***r intimacy, and self exploration.”
—Jillian Suarez, Head of Library Services, Archives, Library, and Research Collections
