For over twenty-five years, Daniel Gustav Cramer has developed the Tales series, a body of work that unfolds through sequences of photographs. Each group forms a fragmented narrative in which figures appear small and distant, enveloped by their surroundings. It is the subtle shifts of time passing, of the space created between the photographs, that take the central stage. What emerges is less a linear story than an observation of minor actions. The viewer can, when looking with care, find clues about the narrative that surrounds these moments: the subtle shift of a frame, the turning of a head, or the quiet repositioning of a hand becoming a record of thought, decision, or relation. Today, the series encompasses more than 120 sequences, existing both as framed works in exhibitions and as publications.
We are proud to present Tales 104 (Nagara River, Gifu-ken, Japan, July 2019), 2025, the second book by Cramer published with Yvon Lambert Editions, following Fox & Coyote, featured at the 13th Berlin Biennale in the summer of 2025.
This new publication brings together three images of a river bend in the Kamasu Valley. Between the first two photographs, the frame shifts slightly: a man and a woman rest by the river, their bodies still, his head turning gently towards her, while the current flows steadily in the background. In the third image, the frame has moved further; the man now rests his head in the woman’s lap, a gesture of intimacy and trust. The river appears at once as a concrete place, documented with the camera — the Nagara River in Gifu-ken — and as a symbol of impermanence, its flow a reminder of the constant passage of space and time.
