Origins - song of Nooitgedacht a remote valley in the Karoo cover

From her first visit to the valley in 2002, Jennifer Gough-Cooper, a British photographer, was captivated by this tranquil landscape with its majestic mountains, great vistas, its transparent streams, turbulent flood waters as well as the exquisite detail of its rock and flora. The photographs in this volume are presented in the spirit of a song - a melodic line - evoking these natural treasures in tempo with the slow cycles of infinite time at Nooitgedacht: a place truly beyond imagination.

Jennifer Gough-Cooper studied at Hornsey College of Art in the 1960s. She helped organise the inaugural Marcel Duchamp retrospective at the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris in 1977, followed by her book Marcel Duchamp: Work and Life, published for the exhibition at the Palazzo Grassi, Venice in 1993. With the Scottish artist, Ian Hamilton Finlay, Jennifer published Paths for an exhibition at Schoenthal in Switzerland. Her book Apropos Rodin inspired by the work of the French sculptor in its setting at the Musee Rodin, Paris, was published in 2006. Selected Rodin photographs have been exhibited at the Royal Academy of Art, London, the Musee Rodin, Paris, and the Craig Krull Gallery, Santa Monica.
