American Photo on 10x10 American Photobooks.
“After a rush to all things digital, it seems only natural that photography audiences would “return” to the physicality of books, and celebrate them in intimate gatherings like 10x10, or the book meetups that I sometimes hear about. ”
Thank you, Dan.

Photographs by Giada Ripa
Text by Giovanna Calvenzi (in Italian and English)
Produced by eni, March 2011.
Invisible Pipeline is a photographic project commissioned by Eni, an Italian multinational oil and gas company, to document their Villano plant in Ecuador. The plant was constructed avoiding deforestation in the area and building access roads. The pipeline is hidden from view under the forest. The pipeline crosses the Antisana reserve for 4,7 km. It was build using using mono-rail technology, limiting the right-of-way to 4 meters in order to avoid excessively altering the forest’s ecosystem.
Giada Ripa captured the sensibility of the region. Her photographs depict the nature, the community and the pipeline workers. She explores the relationships between local people, environment, plant and workers. The portraits of community members also reflect their everyday life, traditions, co-existence with the pipeline.
The book has an elegant design and high quality printing. Triptychs throughout the book create certain dynamic and grasp green colour of the region.

Day #8. Eric Miles / photo-eye
About Eric Miles’ selection for the 10×10 Online:
The books on my list all reflect in their own ways a dramatic shift in photo culture that was already well underway by the mid-eighties. Approaches rooted in the traditions of documentary and “social landscape” photography were already giving way to an interest in vernacular imagery and the “banal,” influenced in no small part by the ubiquity of consumer culture. This paradigm shift inaugurated a new canon, with William Eggleston, Nan Goldin, Stephen Shore and Joel Sternfeld among the central influences on a new generation, supplanting those of Frank, Friedlander, Arbus and Winogrand. But more than just subject matter was changing; there was also the rise of the “snapshot” aesthetic, emphasizing not the subject per se, but a particular quality of observation. Over time, following Shore and Eggleston especially, but also the unsung Allan Ruppersberg, the Apotheosis of the Banal was complete. And while autobiographical pursuits were certainly not new among photographers, many would follow the 80s paradigm set by Nan Goldin, recording intense “domestic” dramas and pushing the bounds of painful intimacy and portrayal of emotional chaos. So, if I were to go way out on a limb and try to pull out a thread that tied these books together, I’d have to say that it is a radical engagement with the everyday, with nothing too prosaic to photograph – a desire to make the plain romantic and imbue the familiar stuff of our visual lives with a new sense of wonder.
