Hardback. Condición: New. North Warning System is Donovan Wylie's third and final book of photographs on the themes of vision and power in military architecture, and draws a close to his Tower Series. Surveying a radar station just inside the Canadian Arctic, Wylie examines the detection of invisible threats through unmanned observation posts in remote regions. The development of long-range bombers and missiles after the Second World War made Canada's arctic frontier vulnerable to attack from the air. This forced Canada and the United States to jointly construct a matrix of short and longrange radar stations in the 1950s. Known as the Distant Early Warning Line, these stations provided electronic observation and surveillance capability across Canada's northern frontier throughout the Cold War. In the 1990s, these stations were upgraded to form the North Warning System (NWS) which is increasingly active-as international maritime traffic develops throughout the north, so does military presence. In North Warning System, whiteness takes on the quality of a blank canvas, a metaphor for the sweep of history.…

hardcover. Condición: As New. Prima edizione (First Edition). Un testo e fotografie a colori di Donovan Wylie . Cm 23 x 29.5. pp. 40. . Perfetto (Mint). . Prima edizione (First Edition). . North Warning System è il terzo e ultimo libro fotografico di Donovan Wylie sul tema della visione e del potere nell'architettura militare e chiude The Tower Series. Osservando una stazione radar appena dentro l'Artico canadese, il fotografo esamina il rilevamento di minacce invisibili attraverso posti di osservazione senza equipaggio in regioni remote. Lo sviluppo di bombardieri e missili a lungo raggio dopo la seconda guerra mondiale ha reso la frontiera artica del Canada vulnerabile agli attacchi aerei. Le stazioni radar a corto e lungo raggio costruite negli anni '50, conosciute come Distant Early Warning Line, hanno fornito possibilità di osservazione e sorveglianza elettronica attraverso la frontiera settentrionale del Canada per tutta la durata della guerra fredda. Negli anni '90, queste stazioni sono state aggiornate per formare il North Warning System (NWS) che è sempre più attivo, poiché il traffico marittimo internazionale si sviluppa in tutto il nord, così come la presenza militare. In North Warning System, il bianco assume la qualità di una tela bianca, una metafora per la portata della storia. Book.…
