Hardcover. First edition. NEW hardcover in the publisher's (torn) shrink wrap with a hint of rubbing to the tips and a tiny tear at the crown; no dj as issued. BOOKS SHIP THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY, WRAPPED IN PADDING, IN A BOX. The catalogue for an exhibition of work by the Dutch photographer Ellen Kooi (b. 1962), held at La Casa Encendida, Madrid, April 16 - June 15, 2008. "The point of departure for Kooi's photographs is the Dutch landscape, which she transforms and uses as the backdrop for ambiguous, inexplicable events. The seemingly natural appearance of her images, which have the spontaneity of a snapshot, belies an intricate production process involving preparatory drawings, models, lighting design and careful staging, not unlike the methods used by old Baroque masters or modern film directors. This blend of nature and artifice lends Kooi's images an unsettling quality and irresistible visual appeal." Photographs by Ellen Kooi; texts by Rafael Roncero, Octavio Zaya, and Catherine Somze. Unpaginated [188 pages]; color plates throughout; 11 x 8 inches. Text in English.…
