The book presents three interwoven perspectives: photography, abstract textural studies, and text that invites a meditative journey about movement, memory, and transformation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe front side of the book features black-and-white photographs made along the rail line where Ramos grew up in Berkeley, California. Between passing trains, he walked for miles, photographing quiet scenes of the surrounding environment. The reverse side presents a conceptual interpretation of trains and the energy they carry. Through “Rail Prints,” text, vernacular photographs, and ephemera drawn from Ramos’ archive, the sequence forms a record of his personal experiences shaped by trains.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRail Prints are created through a process in which Ramos places pre-cut sheets of paper on active tracks, well before the passage of a train, allowing them to be crushed beneath the locomotive and trailing railcars. Each print is unique, and is paired with the location, locomotive number, and approximate speed of the train that formed it. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alex Ramos","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57680370598270,"sku":null,"price":75.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/2593\/1985\/files\/alex-ramos-it-will-hold-you.webp?v=1784118919","url":"https:\/\/www.setantabooks.com\/products\/it-will-hold-you","provider":"Setanta Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
