Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. At first glance, this illustrated book appears to present a mishmash of the widespread, in some cases unauthorized, unfinished buildings that make a decidedly striking mark on the barren landscape of southern Italy - without which something would almost be missing. On closer inspection, these symbols of stagnation are thought-provoking, a fact that is addressed in this book: from an anthropological-cultural and socio-economic level, via architecture and esthetics, to the existential foundations of life plans and their fragility.In most cases, the stories behind the building projects have been lost forever. Driven by the idea that houses and people belong together, the author always portrays someone, usually from the neighbourhood, in front of or next to it. Curiosity, anger or simple disregard, pity for the owners or incomprehension about the failure of the building authorities - Gabriel Mauron spoke with each of them about their personal view of the monuments of the abandoned with which they, in a sense, live together. A Visual Reflection on the Poetry of the Uncompleted: Approaching the reality of single-family houses that were never finished and inhabited through photos as well as conversations and research.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Instead of the horizontal panning movement used to create a classic panoramic image, the author experiments with curves as well as vertical or parallel shifting. A fixed camera recording of turning objects leads to surprising outcomes and a whole new dimension of imaging. The results simultaneously show multiple sides and angles of an object, offering a fascinatingly deconstructed perception. Artifacts and objects unravel into new sculptures, at the same time familiar and irritatingly different - stylized and estheticized by rotography. The perspective dissolves as photographic boundaries are exceeded to a new extreme. This illustrated book takes the reader through this creative experiment with the iPhone into a new dimension of panorama photography and invites to explore one's own creative ventures, and to immerse contemplatively in the world of rotography. Presenting and explaining a surprising new kind of imaging with the panorama function of the iPhone.

In this captivating volume, the photography captures the enchanting spirit of Ireland while the timeless tales are brought to life with a fresh, playful twist.The spirit of Ireland is captured in this volume through its landscapes and legends.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. The works published in this volume by Jonas C. Haefeli, who calls himself a "quarterly painter", appear surrealistic at first glance, However, on closer inspection they rather reflect the spirit of Fantastic Realism. The roots of this style lie in German and Dutch Mannerism, in Art Nouveau, in New Objectivity, and also in Surrealism. Haefeli's paintings are characterized by - only supposedly realistic - fantasy spaces whose access must first be deciphered.Each painting is juxtaposed with a page of text with poetic, (pseudo-)scientific, ironically pointed, or also decidedly funny-absurd picture lines, quotations, newspaper clippings and miniature stories. In this way, the enigmatic works of art are explained, supplemented or even exaggerated caricature-style by yet another dimension. This entertaining, informative, or even confusing interaction is what makes this picture book so unique.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Bourgeois scholarship as disguise: "Fake books" are objects that simulate the most important carriers of knowledge and culture by subverting fundamental functions such as visualization, information or entertainment. Most of these "book simulators" are beautiful containers, which serve for storing - or hiding - approximately everything. The viewer is always confronted by the discrepancy between appearance and being, between form and function. Armin Mueller has collected book dummies of very different sizes, styles and provenances from different eras: art-historically valuable, technically sophisticated and historically exciting pieces, but also kitsch of all kinds. The imaginative and creative richness of camouflage and illusion seems to be inexhaustible. About objects looking like books that surprise and confuse as their essential characteristic is the discrepancy between form and function.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Visits to indigenous ethnic groups around the world whose habitats are threatened by external influences and bringing images of them and their habitat together in installations to show that everything and everyone is connected in our age of climate change.Climate change threatens not only nature, ecosystems and biodiversity, but above all people themselves. To make this visible, Barbara Dombrowski has spent ten years visiting climate-relevant sites on all five inhabited continents and immersing herself in the lives of indigenous peoples whose existence is threatened: the Inuit of East Greenland, the Achuar and Shuar in the Amazon rainforest, Mongolian nomads in the Gobi desert, the Maasai of Tanzania, and the Micronesian population of the island state of Kiribati in the fragile world of the South Pacific.On life-size textile banners, she presented the people of one region in the habitat of another of the ethnic groups she visited. Through this juxtaposition, she powerfully demonstrates the need to build global bridges and to become aware of a shared responsibility. The portraits themselves, the photographic documentation of the symbolic installations, and the very personal descriptions of her visits illustrate and address the climate crisis on multiple levels in a haunting way.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Influenced by Gaudi's Parc Guell in Barcelona, and the mannerist park of Bomarzo, Niki de Saint Phalle decided that she wanted to make something similar; a monumental sculpture park created by a woman.

The garden, on which planning started in 1978, contains sculptures of the symbols found on Tarot cards. It opened in 1998, after more than 20 years of work. The garden was still incomplete when Niki de Saint Phalle died.
