Amphibious Andromeda is like taking a walk through the artist’s mind as he walks through Paris.  Think of it as an Accidental Tourist Guide to Paris.

What he calls a “journal of everyday life,” kept between July 24 and October 20th of 2007, Ricardo Bloch disassembles and reconfigures a unique daily walk through his Paris world in Amphibious Andromeda. Visually stunning, the photos are intimate and telling, funny and revealing; combinations on the page in spreads add another layer to meaning, making volume from the artist something of a beachhead in a brave new world. 

The book (printed by Lalande Digital Art Press Paris) consists of some 200 photographs “made under the pressure of feeding a daily image/sound blog called Amphibious Andromeda,” says Ricardo. “This is the first in a series of four or five books, which will end with photographs made in March of this year when I stopped posting on my blog. The 589-day archive of Amphibious Andromeda’s images and sounds is online here.
