About the Item

"The Beauty of the Uncommon Tools" is from Tony Chirinos' project entitled, "The Precipice", - also released as a book project by Gnomic Book in 2021 - which serves as a photographic exploration of death. The work is comprised of two decades of images made in hospital facilities, an excerpt from Chirinos' project statement for "The Precipice" is below: "'The Precipice' is an ongoing and deeply personal project. The purpose of my work is to create a visual narrative that examines rather than shies away from how precious life is and that, despite how cold and finite death may seem, it is a vital and integral conclusion of a story that can’t ever be fully told without including it. So much of death’s story remains untold -- unseen, unwitnessed or not yet experienced. These projects created a vehicle to examine my deep desire is to explore some of our ideas about death’s enigmas. This photographic journey could have diverged in one way – the transition back into live, the rehabilitation, the healing, yet, this tale follows a clinical, sterile path of the body’s care after death. And this diversion guided my photographic path to examine the hospital’s morgue and, thus, a closer look at my relationship and a broader examination of the cultural and personal associations with death. In my work, death is the quiet context and the constant, the slow and steady pulse that is as much a part of living as that first heartbeat of new creation."
