About

HOLD STILLkeep going is the long-awaited reprint of the catalogue to Robert Franks 2001 exhibition of the same name at Museum Folkwang in Essen.

The book explores the role of film in Franks work, and the interaction between the still and moving image that has engaged him since the late 1950s. HOLD STILLkeep going adopts a non-chronological approach, including photographs, film-stills, 35mm filmstrips, as well as photo-montages that present his most famous series alongside less known work.

Text, from hand-written phrases on photographs (of which HOLD STILLkeep going is but one example) to the dialogues in his films, emerges as a crucial tool, one also central to Franks photo-diaries which comprise his most recent experiments in bookmaking.
