Softcover. Condition: USED_GOOD. First Edition. When the International Center of Photography launched Strangers, its first Triennial, in 2003, its curators wrote that their goal was "to demonstrate photography's incomparable richness as a visual medium--in the form of still photographs, video, sculptural objects, and installation pieces. The result is a dynamic coherence that results as much from a dialogue between individual works as from curatorial intention." This second time out, in a period of rampant natural disasters and concerns about global environmental change, they have shifted their attention from strangers, from our relationships with one another, to home, to our relationships with the earth. Ecotopia, brings readers the natural world through the eyes and lenses of some of the most interesting and engaging photographers working today. These 30 international artists shatter stereotypes of landscape and nature imagery to examine new concepts of the natural sphere occasioned by twenty-first-century technologies. They capture our destructive engagement with the environment and develop visions of our future, both better and worse. Ecotopia considers nature in the broadest sense, and offers new perspectives on the planet that sustains, enchants and, increasingly, frightens. Seller Inventory # SONG3865213103

Il risultato è una coerenza dinamica che risulta tanto da un dialogo tra le singole opere quanto dall'intenzione curatoriale". Questa seconda volta, in un periodo di dilaganti disastri naturali e preoccupazioni per il cambiamento ambientale globale, hanno spostato la loro attenzione dagli estranei alle nostre relazioni con la terra. Ecotopia, porta ai lettori il mondo naturale attraverso gli occhi e le lenti di alcuni dei fotografi più interessanti e coinvolgenti che lavorano oggi. Questi 30 artisti internazionali infrangono gli stereotipi del paesaggio e delle immagini della natura per esaminare i nuovi concetti della sfera naturale creati dalle tecnologie del XXI secolo. Ecotopia considera la natura nel senso più ampio e offre nuove prospettive sul pianeta che sostiene, incanta e, sempre più, spaventa. Book. Seller Inventory # bc_225792
