Event Horizon takes 'pulp' entertainment, from fantasy to sci-fi and everything in between into the 21st century. Think Epic when it first came out, or Heavy Metal in the late seventies and early eighties, but with a card stock cover.

It's tagline '21st Pulp Fiction' describes it best. No post-modernism needed here, the world ahead is pre-deconstructed.įrom the Book 1 preface by Douglas RushkoffĮvent Horizon is Mam Tor's award-winning flagship title. The author has analysed works of photographic art by Latvian authors created between 19 that were exhibited in Latvian, USSR and international exhibitions of camera clubs and photographic salons and were reproduced in press or photography albums and catalogues.More like an incantation than a narrative, a kaleidoscope than a point of view, a sequence of images than portrait of anything, the succession of words and pictures on the following pages combine to create a mosaic that you must put together yourself. The book gives an insight into the most significant stylistic trends and means of expression of form characteristic of the Latvian photographic art of the 1960s, which constitutes the part of the 20th century Latvian visual art heritage that has not been sufficiently studied until now. During the 1960s those were photographers who succeeded in attaining what was forbidden (or limited) for representatives of other arts – they joined international exhibition activities and developed West-oriented, modern aesthetics and system of artistic imagery based on western history of art. Being artificially separated from Western and global information space by the Soviet regime Latvian culture and art nevertheless was looking for and found the way to be incontact and interact with this space. 'The book „The Photograph as Art in Latvia” is the first contemporary study about the recent past of Latvian photographic art.
