Publisher's Synopsis
Notes on Presence, delves into society's-and our own-perceptions of women of a certain age, inspired by a debate on the market value of people that I participated in a few years ago. In Notes on Presence, the protagonist observes, meets, and photographs a variety of people to explore how society-and we as individuals-view aging women. The text is accompanied by portraits of queen statues, Les Reines de France et Femmes illustres, located in the Jardin du Luxembourg in Paris. According to a French couple the author met in the garden, the statues form a small matriarchy within an otherwise patriarchal city. Notes on Presence is the inaugural fanzine in The Notes Series, an ongoing project exploring Generation X
