Verticals: Photo Monograph - Tapa blanda

Verticals (Paperback)

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. VERTICALS is a contemplative photographic monograph by Mubarak Atmata that explores the quiet dialogue between the horizontal landscape of the Earth and the vertical structures created by human imagination. Through a series of carefully observed photographs made across Palakkad, Kerala, this book examines how buildings, towers, walls, houses, unfinished constructions, and everyday architectural forms emerge from the land as expressions of aspiration, memory, labor, and time. Rather than documenting architecture as an object of design, Verticals approaches the built environment as a philosophical presence. Each structure becomes a trace of human intention-an attempt to rise, to inhabit space, and to leave a mark upon the world. Some forms appear complete and confident; others remain abandoned, weathered, or suspended in incompletion. Together, they reveal the fragile relationship between permanence and change, ambition and decay. With a visual language rooted in observation and simplicity, Mubarak Atmata transforms ordinary scenes into reflections on existence, perception, and coexistence. The photographs invite readers to look beyond function and form, discovering the subtle tensions between nature and construction, stillness and movement, memory and transformation. Verticals is more than a photobook; it is a visual meditation on how humanity continuously negotiates its place within the landscape. For readers interested in contemporary photography, visual culture, architecture, philosophy, and the poetics of everyday life, this book offers a thoughtful and immersive experience. A journey through the spaces where Earth remains horizontal and human imagination rises vertically. This item is printed on demand.
