Hardcover. Condition: As New. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen. In his Habitat series, Olaf Otto Becker (born 1959) presents idyllic dreamlike places--paradisical tableaus from the jungles of Malaysia and Indonesia. (Romantic floodplains, tree trunks slung with liana vines, niches for countless life forms--these are…the untouched tropical rainforests of legend.) Even the temperate rainforest of Redwood National Parks in California seems reassuringly intact: the mammoth trees are surviving thanks to rigorous conservation measures. By contrast, in the second half of his series Becker shows what happens across the globe when international corporations clear large tracts of land and giant areas of barren, treeless terrain result. Erosion also does its work, and no life can survive in these places. In the final section, Becker presents the artificial forests conceived by various international architects to insert greenery into urban space.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen; Vergilbt / ausgeblichen. Olaf Otto Becker, born in 1959, worked for almost four years and covered thousands of miles by boat creating these photographs of the coastline of Greenland. The resulting images, made in the clear light of the midsummer night over… long exposures, are worth the effort. Almost shadowless neo-romantic dreamscapes, they are unrealistically beautiful. Becker sometimes waits days for the right image or condition to appear in order to produce a single image--a process that leaves him with only about 25 photographs per year. Though visually diverse, all of the pictures share the contemplative character of their creator. Becker, who was once a painter, doesn't photograph scenery: He builds compositions, using his eye and his patience to develop a work of melancholic beauty, in the powerful iconography of the nineteenth-century landscape. He has exhibited widely in Europe, and his previous monograph was short-listed for the Rencontres D'Arles Book Award.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen; Vergilbt / ausgeblichen. Following Broken Line , a prizewinning portrait of the coast of Greenland, Olaf Otto Becker (born in Travemünde, 1959) turns his attention to the interior of the island in his new series, Above Zero . Second only to Antarctica, Gre…enland has the largest inland ice surfaces in the world. Becker's spectacular portraits of this region are taken during physically strenuous, sometimes life-threatening treks among glacial crevasses and melting ice floes, with a cumbersome large-format camera. His photo studies draw out the overwhelming beauty of this icy landscape, while documenting their present dust and rust in the air form black, crusty deposits, which, in conjunction with global warming, accelerate the melting of the ice sheets--with what will probably be inevitable, catastrophic results. Becker warns that even in these uninhabited regions, human actions can have fatal consequences.

What does that feel like? Is Siberia perhaps a new travel destination we didn't know about? How is climate change making itself felt the…re? In several books of photographs Olaf Otto Becker has already documented the alterations in landscape caused by climate change, as well as the influence of human behavior on nature. He became world-famous for his pictures of icebergs, whose beauty is captivating, even in the face of their melting. Now, the photographer has turned to the permafrost zone and its gradual retreat northward. He captures the inhospitable formes of earth and ice that tower above wet beaches, looking like abstract sculptures; follows a group of researchers who were taking soil samples during the "warm summer" of 2019; and finally lands in the semi-decaying harbor town of Tiksi, where children also play.

Postkarte. Condition: Gut. Postkarte von Olaf Becker bildseitig mit schwarzem Edding signiert /// Autogramm Autograph signiert signed signee /// Olaf Becker (* 21. November 1970) ist ein ehemaliger deutscher Fußballspieler, der für den MSV Duisburg zu drei Einsätzen in der 2. Bundesliga kam. Karriere als Spieler Becker, der in d…er Abwehr und im defensiven Mittelfeld spielte, begann das Fußballspielen in seiner Kindheit beim FC Hagenshof, ehe er als D-Jugendlicher die Aufnahme in die Jugendabteilung des Profiklubs MSV Duisburg erreichte. Dort blieb er über einige Jahre, ehe er in der A-Jugend zu Borussia Mönchengladbach wechselte. Als seine besonderen Stärken sah Becker sein Zweikampfverhalten sowie sein Kopfballspiel an.[1] Bei Mönchengladbach gelang ihm 1989 im Alter von 18 Jahren die Aufnahme in den Bundesliga-Kader, allerdings kam er im Verlauf der nachfolgenden beiden Spielzeiten zu keinem einzigen Einsatz und zählte schließlich nicht weiter zum Profiteam. Im Vorfeld der Saison 1992/93 kehrte er zum in der 2. Bundesliga antretenden MSV Duisburg zurück. Am 17. Juli 1992 wurde er bei einer Begegnung gegen Fortuna Köln (0:0) in der 68. Minute für Michael Harforth eingewechselt und erreichte damit sein Profidebüt in der zweithöchsten deutschen Spielklasse. Dem folgten in der Anfangsphase der Spielzeit zwei weitere Berücksichtigungen, ehe er beim MSV nur noch Teil der zweiten Mannschaft war. 1993 wechselte er zu Rot-Weiß Oberhausen in die vierthöchste Spielklasse.[1] Mit Oberhausen erreichte er 1993 den Aufstieg in die drittklassige Regionalliga West/Südwest an, nahm dabei aber trotz regelmäßiger Berücksichtigungen keinen festen Stammplatz ein. Am Ende der Saison 1996/97 verpasste Oberhausen den möglichen Aufstieg in die 2. Bundesliga mit zwölf Punkten Rückstand auf die SG Wattenscheid 09 zwar deutlich, konnte aber zumindest an der Deutschen Amateurmeisterschaft teilnehmen. Im Endspiel gegen den SSV Reutlingen 05 wurde Becker kurz vor Spielende eingewechselt und musste in den Schlussminuten den 2:1-Siegtreffer Reutlingens miterleben. Mit dem verpassten Titelgewinn endete zugleich seine Zeit in Oberhausen. Während der Saison 1999/2000 spielte er für den SV Straelen in der Oberliga Nordrhein, wobei er vom späteren Bundesligacoach Jos Luhukay trainiert wurde.[2][3] Becker übernahm im September 2008 das Traineramt beim Amateurverein Mülheimer SV 07, bei dem er zuvor bereits Co-Trainer gewesen war.[4][5] Im Sommer 2011 trat er aus persönlichen Gründen zurück und wurde daraufhin von Ralf Zils beerbt.[6] /// Standort Wimregal GAD-0545 Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 10.

One of the most beautiful art photography books of our time. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions.…Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. An austerely elegant production by Olaf Otto Becker: Oversize-volume format. The book weighs 3 pounds. Aquamarine cloth boards with photographic reproduction pasted on the recessed cover and titles embossed on the cover and spine, as issued. Photographs by Olaf Otto Becker. Text by Gerry Badger, the co-author of "The Photobook", and Christoph Schaden. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper in Germany to the highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Presents Olaf Otto Becker's "Broken Line: Greenland 2003-2006". The kind of photography book that one not only looks at, but in the process of looking, experiences. Most of us will never set foot in Greenland. Olaf Otto Becker has made the trip for us, and we are forever in his debt. "Becker worked for four years and covered thousands of miles by boat creating these photographs of the coastline of Greenland. The resulting images, made in the clear light of the midsummer night over long exposures, are worth the effort. Becker sometimes waited days for the right image or condition to appear in order to produce a single image, a process that left him with only about 25 photographs per year. All of the pictures share the contemplative character of their creator. Becker, who was once a painter, doesn't photograph scenery: He builds compositions, using his eye and his patience, to develop a work of melancholy beauty reminiscent of the powerful iconography of 19th-century Romantic landscapes. The images record the artist's awe at the beauty of creation as well as the dangers facing it" (Publisher's blurb). An absolute "must-have" title for Olaf Otto Becker collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed and dated in pencil on the title page by the photographer: "11.04.2009 Olaf Otto Becker". It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. Becker also pasted a miniature variant-photograph of an image that appears in the book, titled it in pencil, and indicated its exact location (with an arrow, also in pencil) in the map of Greenland that is reproduced on the page. This title is a contemporary photography classic. This is one of few such signed, dated, and "memento-ed" copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Each copy has a unique miniature photograph. A rare signed copy thus. 75 color plates and foldouts. Winner of The German Photography Book Award in 2008. One of the most brilliant photographers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER COPY OF THIS TITLE IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 3775719725. Signed by Author.
