Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Almost all his images were produced at night, using the aprons' floodlights, moonlight or long exposures of between ten minutes to two hours. The airports on the Azores are unique. In order that they would not be spotted from the air during wartime they are amongst the very few black-tarred…runways in the world, and it is the relationship between the dark tarmac and the fluorescent painted signs and runway markings that lie at the heart of some of Martins' most arresting images. This unusual combination allowed him to produce incredibly abstract images, with a very long depth of field and often with the use of minimal lighting. In some, sky and ground merge in darkness with only the lights and airport hieroglyphics to orient us. Yet even these are hard to decode, for whilst this is a landscape of signs that can be read by the knowledgeable - pilots and air traffic controllers, for instance - it remains perplexing to the uninitiated. This juxtaposition of sign and shape are at the heart of these remarkable images. Edgar Martins was granted special airside access to some of the most interesting airports in Europe, many of which have had a key role in the history of aviation; for example the Azores, which was a compulsory stop for transatlantic flights prior to 1970 and a military base in both World Wars. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Those he chose have had a key role in history or the history of aviation (for example the Azores, which was a compulsory stop for transatlantic flights prior to 1970 and a military base in both World Wars). Almost all his images were produced at night, using the aprons¿ floodlights, moonlight, lon…g or double exposures of between ten minutes to two hours. Some of the airports on the Azores archipelago are unique. They are amongst the very few black-tarred runways in the world, and it is the relationship between the dark tarmac and the fluorescent painted signs and runway markings that lies at the heart of some of Martins¿ most arresting images. This unusual combination allowed him to produce incredibly abstract images, with a very long depth of field and often with the use of minimal lighting. In some, sky and ground merge in darkness with only the lights and airport hieroglyphics to orient us. Yet even these are hard to decode, for whilst this is a landscape of signs that can be read by the knowledgeable ¿ pilots and air traffic controllers, for example ¿ it remains perplexing to the uninitiated. There are also areas in which even this complex visual language is further ruptured, as new and old markings merge, echoing the overlapping of time, space and different eras, and disturbing language and meaning itself. These juxtapositions of sign and shape and the ambiguity of meaning are central to these remarkable images. Edgar Martins has won several awards for his work including Portugal¿s prestigious BES photography Award and a Jerwood Photography Prize. He was awarded a National Media Museum Bursary and second-place at the Terry O¿Neil Award 2008. He was also recently nominated for the renowned Prix Pictet. He has exhibited throughout Europe and the United States, including Museums such as PS1 MoMA, and has published several books, the most recent being Topologies, which was published by Aperture.
