Wander, the second volume in Sean Palfrey’s photography book series, explores the joy of following a winding course.
Palfrey is a renowned paediatrician who travels the world with his work and for pleasure. His fascination with people, places and stories informs his artistic and professional practices. Wander traces Palfrey’s journeys across continents and cultures over five decades and features seventy photographs of remarkable places, from the mountain ranges of South Africa to the beaches of Chile, the woods of Canada to the deserts of New Mexico, to name a few. In the text accompanying each image, Palfrey explores the stories and myths of the localities as he recounts his experiences, thoughts and meditations in lyrical narratives.
Wander depicts and describes vastness and intimacy, beauty and loss, heritage and change. Palfrey affirms photography’s capacity to spark our imaginations: ‘Every photo here has a story, a backstory, a then-story and a since-story.’
