Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. This is a book of snapshots of domestic and exotic animals, mostly taken at night by automatically triggered camera traps. So they are lucky shots. The artist Alex Hanimann has succeeded in reaching a wider public with these automatic photographs, originally intended only for the use of a small circle of zoologists, and bringing out previously unnoticed aspects thereof, which in turn raise questions about the authorship and use of digital pictures. Moreover, these strange automatic compositions, each of which is animated by a highly idiosyncratic aesthetic, are reassessed according to artistic criteria of form and content by embedding them in the context of art.Shot for scientific purposes in various habitats and climatic zones, the pictures are reexamined here in terms of visual logic and artistic potential, with a particular focus on such compositional aspects as lighting, cropping and texture. A mechanism, or rather an animals behavior, its movements, triggers the shutter release in each photo. The upshot is, consequently, a form of unconscious and never-intended selfie.In this book Alex Hanimann takes his artistic perspective of animal observation to another level, that of automatic photography. With his extensive collection of images, he orders the ways in which animals are viewed for scientific and preservation purposes. But unlike animal preservationists, the artist is also interested in atmospheric aspects of these green gray worlds as well as the moments when the camera fails, capturing only a fleeting glimpse of the fleeing subjects hind legs. Flawed fragments are just as exciting as successful wholes.The history of photography is that of a complex and ever-evolving relationship between the motif caught by the camera and the subjective gaze of the viewer who sees and interprets the resulting picture. Even when captured at night, the animals often elude our attempts to identify, to fix them, in a flash.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Alex Hanimann began producing series of drawings and fairly extensive groups of paintings in the early 1980s. Since 1992, his work with language, a mixed bag of existential and anonymous signs and codes, of imagination and reality, has developed into a separate strand of his creative process. In his text-based murals and superimposed texts using slide projections, Hanimann undermines syntactic logic and linguistic conventions, creating a new order by stripping the words of their conventional context and superimposing them, just as he dissolves the original context of his found images.Etwas fehlt catalogues Hanimanns photographic explorations over the past twelve years, presenting roughly three thousand selected images from his archives. Shown in a chronological but disjointed order, the images are removed from their meaningful contexts and re-contextualized on the page. The mosaic layout specially developed for this publication does not yield a rigid sequence or listing of the images, but a flexible structure that enlivens each page, interspersed with blank spaces at seemingly random intervals.The photographs are accompanied by an interview of Alex Hanimann by Hans Ulrich Obrist, as well as brief essays by Lorenzo Benedetti and Ludwig Seyfarth about the photographs subject matter, contextual meaning and points of view.
