Synopsis
- Features for the first time Roger Eberhard's latest photographic project
- Offers a conceptual, artistic view of the diversity in uniformity of international hotel chains
- Roger Eberhard ranks among the most recognised contemporary Swiss photographers
In thirty-two cities across five continents, Swiss photographer Roger Eberhard booked a standard double room at the local Hilton and took two photographs: one of the room's interior, always from the same perspective, and one of the view from the hotel room's window. The result of this project is Roger Eberhard - Standard, an unusual urban panorama of sixty-four photographs, reproduced large enough to make it easy to see the diversity within the uniformity of one of the world's largest international hotel chains.
In this era of increasing globalisation and commercialisation, Roger Eberhard - Standard shows that international hotel chains, restaurants, and similar establishments maintain a remarkably uniform design - a true standard - that has made many places and cities feel almost interchangeable. At the same time, they retain some of their unique characteristics, and Eberhard's photographs reveal the subtle, yet important, influence of local taste. The book also contains an essay by German novelist Benedict Wells on the monotony he feels while staying in successions of hotel rooms on book tours, as well as essays by art historian Franziska Solte and curator Nadine Wietlisbach.

Roger Eberhard ? Standard
Seller: Berchmans, Erbach, HE, Germany
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Der Schweizer Fotograf Roger Eberhard ist für seine neue konzeptionelle Fotoarbeit auf alle fünf Kontinente gereist. In 32 Städten hat er stets im lokalen Hilton-Hotel das Standarddoppelzimmer gebucht und dort das Interieur mit Doppelbett, Mobiliar und Fenster fotografiert. Zudem hat er die Aussicht auf die jeweilige Stadt aus dem Fenster des Hotelzimmers aufgenommen.So ist Roger Eberhards neues Buch Standard entstanden, das einen vielschichtigen Blick auf unsere globale Welt zeigt. Die Interieurs der grössten Hotelkette der Welt sind rund um den Globus nach dem gleichen Schema eingerichtet und wirken daher erstaunlich gleichförmig; trotzdem beinhalten viele von ihnen auch einen kleinen Verweis auf lokale Geschmacksprägungen. Der Blick auf die Städte offenbart, dass sich die meisten Grossstädte der Welt in vielen Aspekten angenähert haben, aber doch auch jeweilige Eigenarten erhalten bleiben.Roger Eberhards Fotografien werden begleitet von Texten des Schriftstellers Benedict Wells über die Monotonie in anonymen Hotels auf Lesereisen, der Kunsthistorikerin Franziska Solte über das Hotelzimmer als «modern interieur» par excellence sowie von Nadine Wietlisbach, die Roger Eberhards künstlerische Arbeit analysiert und einordnet. Tadelloses Exemplar. / Mint copy. / Copie Monnaie. Seller Inventory # 8279
