101 Pennies

Amy Bonnaffons

Loss, desire, and intimacy are defined -- and limited -- by time. They cannot be held or contained. They are simply a passage through. 101 Pennies is a thirty-year exploration of these currents that define the human experience. Photographed, meticulously hand-processed, and sepia-toned by New York-based artist Alexis Martino, this series is collected for the first time in a limited edition, high-quality, hardcover folio that includes 55 photos and complemented with text from writer Amy Bonnaffons. 101 Pennies is cinematic and sculptural. Turning the plates in the book evokes the tension between still and moving-image photography, where each image engages in conversation with one another. At the same time, this book is a testament to Alexis Martino's peripatetic identity: photographs in the series hail from Kenya, Zimbabwe, Bali, New York City, and her home on Shelter island. To hold 101 Pennies in your hand is to touch a lively family tree of friends, family, and lost souls.
