"From 2000 to 2007, Jay Wolke photographed in the south of Italy to capture the complexity of a region that is colloquially known as Il mezzogiorno. What he found in this historic and often troubled landscape was an elaborate set of physical, social, and political forces manifested in an extraordinary tapestry of visual information. Both referential and suggestive, Wolke's pictures reveal the marks of a long line of invaders, conquerors, and occupiers from the Greeks to the Spanish to the Camorra. Architectural and structural adaptations and 'resignations' are evident in every scene and serve as the photographer's focus. Although the landscape is marred by layers of dysfunction and greed, we can't help but view it through the lens of the timeless belief in the bel paese -- the beautiful country." Photographs and afterwords by Jay Wolke; essays by Roberta Valtorta and Tom Bamberger. xii + 84 pages; 42 color plates; 12 x 10.5 inches. Notes on the plates, biographies.

Hardback. Condición: As New. From 2000 to 2007, Jay Wolke photographed the south of Italy to capture the complexity of a region that is colloquially known as Il mezzogiorno. What he found in this historic and often troubled landscape was an elaborate set of physical, social, and political forces manifested in an extraordinary tapestry of visual information. Both referential and suggestive, Wolke's pictures reveal the marks of a long line of invaders, conquerors, and occupiers from the Greeks to the Spanish to the Camorra. Architectural and structural adaptations and "resignations" are evident in every scene and serve as the photographer's focus. Although the landscape is marred by layers of dysfunction and greed, we can't help but view it through the lens of the timeless belief in the bel paese - the beautiful country. "Far from his home in Chicago, Jay Wolke has found profoundly fascinating documentary material in the collisions of old and new, natural and man-made, restored and ruined in the south of Italy. In a quiet but direct way his pictures open up a vista of contemporary life that is as redolent and cautionary for those of us living in the United States as it may be revelatory for the denizens of the places he depicts. This is first-rate work from a photographer of immense talent." (Andy Grundberg, chair of photography at the Corcoran College of Art and Design).

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. When Jay Wolke made these photographs in the late 1980s and early 1990s, there were two major centers for gambling in the United States: Las Vegas, Nevada and Atlantic City, New Jersey. He was fascinated with the accentuated layers and intersections of people, artifice, architecture, and landscape, charged with expectation and aspiration. Wolke's images expose the symbols of desire alongside the realities of uncertainty and deception. The project has now become both a time capsule and an index of the contemporary, addressing larger themes that are every bit as meaningful today as they were thirty years ago. Imagination and reality of the two classic gambling centers in the USA: Las Vegas and Atlantic City Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

"Cutting across Chicago's South Side in a broad swath of concrete, steel, and overpasses, the Dan Ryan Expressway is one of America's busiest, and perhaps most chaotic, highways. Yet underneath the cacophony of its ten lanes lies an intriguing world of urban ecology and human networks. Unearths an ecosystem unto itself that weaves human and industrial elements into an essential feature of Chicago's identity. Between 1981 and 1985, Wolke shot thousands of photographs along the Dan Ryan during the day and night, traveling up and down the expressway in an effort to accurately capture it. In the twenty years since the photographs were taken, Wolke has organized his pictures into a complex and fascinating portrait of this iconic highway, which he characterizes as an 'arterial organism' with its own cycles and flows, causes and effects. The book is a dynamic narrative that explores the Dan Ryan's enormous influence over the people who drive on it, the neighborhoods lined alongside it, and the industrial environs it weaves through. Examines where the highway fits within the trope of the American road and explores how it became a massive expression of the urban lexicon" (Publisher's blurb). "As chilling as 'Blade Runner'. Unfortunately, this is not a dystopian vision set in a distant, fictional future. This is Chicago. This is America now. The automobile has utterly changed the landscape and our lives. Jay Wolke has found a powerful way to record this historic transformation in this unique, important photographic achievement" (Joel Sternfeld). An absolute "must-have" title for Jay Wolke and Chicago collectors. This copy is very boldly and beautifully signed and inscribed in black pen on the half-title page by the photographer: "For Paul, a great Chicagoan, Jay Wolke".
