BOOKS SHIP THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY, WRAPPED IN PADDING, IN A BOX. "Edgar Martins was initially commissioned by The New York Times to photograph the fallout from the US subprime mortgage crisis. Extending the project, he photographed across the United States, at carefully researched sites that exposed the extent and impact of the crisis on the US construction industry. Approaching the project as a photographic intervention into a crisis, the resulting images go beyond pure formal investigation or documentation. The houses depicted in this series do not refer to just the particular. They are images of spatial assemblages, of kinds of stages on which a number of quite different (and perhaps incompatible) narratives might be enacted. These images, these houses, these ruins, reflect back at us the human constructs that we project and impose on them." Photographs by Edgar Martins; essays by Peter D. Osborne and Sacha Craddock. 108 pages; 65 color plates; 13.5 x 10.75 inches. Due to size and weight, international and expedited shipping will be more than quoted.…

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Almost all his images were produced at night, using the aprons' floodlights, moonlight or long exposures of between ten minutes to two hours. The airports on the Azores are unique. In order that they would not be spotted from the air during wartime they are amongst the very few black-tarred runways in the world, and it is the relationship between the dark tarmac and the fluorescent painted signs and runway markings that lie at the heart of some of Martins' most arresting images. This unusual combination allowed him to produce incredibly abstract images, with a very long depth of field and often with the use of minimal lighting. In some, sky and ground merge in darkness with only the lights and airport hieroglyphics to orient us. Yet even these are hard to decode, for whilst this is a landscape of signs that can be read by the knowledgeable - pilots and air traffic controllers, for instance - it remains perplexing to the uninitiated. This juxtaposition of sign and shape are at the heart of these remarkable images. Edgar Martins was granted special airside access to some of the most interesting airports in Europe, many of which have had a key role in the history of aviation; for example the Azores, which was a compulsory stop for transatlantic flights prior to 1970 and a military base in both World Wars.

dj. First Edition. First edition. Oblong hardcover. First printing. 127 pages. Features an essay by John Beardsley. From the publisher: "With artful composition and controlled framing- but no digital manipulation-Edgar Martins creates sublimely beautiful views of often unbeautiful sites. Minimalist nighttime beaches, forests ravaged by fires and Iceland's stark terrain have all served as subjects for his large-scale color photographs. He also explores the unexpected impact of Modernism on the landscape, including startlingly graphic airport runways and colorful highway barriers that, at first glance, read like abstract murals." Includes 75 color images by Martins along with the text of a conversation between him and David Campany. A near fine copy with some very slight tapping to the top corners in a very near fine dust jacket. Signed by Martins on the front free endpaper and dated in the year of publication. Signed.…

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. The US subprime mortgage crisis, which had its roots in the closing years of the twentieth century, exposed pervasive weaknesses in the regulation of the financial industry and the global financial system. At the end of 2008, as the fall-out from the crisis became increasingly widely felt, Edgar Martins was commissioned by the New York Times Magazine to photograph across the US in eight separate states and across sixteen different locations. These carefully researched sites exposed the extent and impact of the crisis on the US construction industry. Martins approached the project as a photographic intervention into a crisis and the resulting images go beyond pure formal investigation or documentation. His interest lay in summoning a disquieting conjunction of realism and fiction by cutting into the real. As the writer Jacques Ranciere states, the real can only be unravelled and understood if it is first fictionalised. And so the real must be transformed to be understood. The houses depicted in this series do not refer to just the particular.They are images of spatial assemblages, of kinds of stages on which a number of quite different (and perhaps incompatible) narratives might be enacted. These images, these houses, these ruins, reflect back at us the human constructs that we project and impose on them. 'This Is Not A House' emerges precisely at that juncture where clear words falter, where language is disturbed. The meaning of the world is no longer carried on its surface, if indeed it ever was. The US subprime mortgage crisis exposed pervasive weaknesses in the regulation of the financial industry and the global financial system. As the fall-out from the crisis became increasingly widely felt, Edgar Martins photographed across the US to expose the extent and impact of the crisis on the US construction industry.
