Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. In his newest series, Mitch Epstein investigates permanence and impermanence by photographing rocks that last millions of years and clouds that evaporate before our eyes. These large-format black-and-white pictures, taken in New York City, examine society's complex relationship to nature, a…theme Epstein has explored in previous work, such as his acclaimed tree pictures. "While laid up with a ruptured Achilles tendon, I wrestled with the passage of time, which suddenly felt palpable; read Robert Smithson; and reconsidered the inextricability of nature and human society," Epstein notes. "All this led me to photograph rocks and clouds in the city." The way the sky and ground can mirror one another intrigued ancient Chinese painters, as well as Smithson and the Surrealists, all of whom inspired this project. Here, Epstein draws attention to the sculptural quality of New York City's clouds, bedrock and architecture--which, at its most elemental, is made from rock. Cloud wedges engulf a cargo ship, buildings recall Constructivist paintings and boulders are imposing elders in the middle of a park or sidewalk. Rocks and Clouds suggests society's inability to control time and tame nature. While it seems impossible to make a fresh picture of New York, Epstein gives us a surprising portrait of it. A pioneer of 1970s color photography, Mitch Epstein has photographed the human engagement with the landscape for the past 40 years. Epstein has won numerous awards including the Prix Pictet, the Berlin Prize and a Guggenheim Fellowship. He has recorded the cultural and physical evolution of the United States from 1973 to the present in his Steidl books Family Business (2003), Recreation (2005) and American Power (2011).

hardcover. Condition: As New. Prima edizione (First Edition). Testo e 70 fotografie in bianco e nero di Mitch Epstein. Uno scritto di Susan Bell . Cm 30,5x37. pp. 160. . Perfetto (Mint). . Prima edizione (First Edition). . Nella sua nuova serie, Mitch Epstein indaga il significato del tempo fotografando rocce che hanno milioni d…i anni e nuvole che evaporano davanti ai nostri occhi, in pochi secondi. Queste immagini in bianco e nero di grande formato esaminano il complesso rapporto della società con la natura, un tema che Epstein ha esplorato in lavori precedenti. Il modo in cui il cielo e la terra possono rispecchiarsi a vicenda ha incuriosito gli antichi pittori cinesi, così come artisti moderni e surrealisti, che hanno tutti ispirato questo progetto. Epstein richiama l'attenzione sulle qualità scultoree delle nuvole, della roccia e dell'architettura di New York, che, nella sua forma più elementare, è fatta di roccia. Rocks and Clouds suggerisce l'incapacità della società di controllare il tempo e domare la natura. Mentre sembra impossibile fornire un nuovo ritratto di New York, Epstein ce ne dà uno sorprendente. Book.
