The Sun Shone Glaringly takes Hollywood movies as starting points,
to create its own story, combining text and photography. Ignoring
the text while looking through the book is not going to work. The
text is too much of an integral part of the whole experience. It
would be like watching a movie with the sound turned off.
The text is a collage of material that’s either taken from movies,
it’s anecdotal, or it’s just made up. You’re not being told which
one is which, but there is a list of the movies some of the text is
based on. Because the text and the photographs essentially are made
to operate the same way – both create a sort of mental image in the
viewer’s head, The Sun Shone Glaringly is the kind of book you
certainly want to look at if you’re interested in how text and
photographs can be made to work with each other.
