Synopsis:
The picturesque vistas and apparent stability of Switzerland have made it an elusive subject for contemporary photography. Over a five-year period (2014 - 2019), Cole found a distinctly new way to look at a country that has been the quintessence of tourist experience for almost two centuries. Fernweh muses on the German word for a longing to be elsewhere. Cole's meditative and scrupulously composed work, made with colour film, is evocative of the hidden history of the Alpine nation as well as of its highly curated terrain. Returning to Switzerland year after year, Cole shares the patience and mild palette of luminaries of contemporary European photography - but the constructivist tension in these images is all his own. With photographs shot in every corner of the country - from Vaud to Graubu nden to Lugano - Fernweh creates a vision of Switzerland that, though largely devoid of human presence, is rich in human traces; none more so than Cole's own distinct way of seeing.

Hardcover. Condition: New. "Many artists have felt the lure of juxtaposing photographs and text, but few have succeeded as well as Teju Cole. He approaches this problem with an understanding of the limitations and glories of each medium." ?

paperback. Condition: Ottimo (Fine). Prima edizione (First Edition). Fotografie a colori e testo di Teju Cole . Cm 21x30,5. pp. 216 n.n. Firma autografa dell'Artista (Signed by the Artist). Ottimo (Fine). . Prima edizione (First Edition). . I panorami pittoreschi e l'apparente stabilità della Svizzera lo hanno reso un soggetto sfuggente per la fotografia contemporanea. Per un periodo di cinque anni (2014-2019), Cole ha trovato un modo nettamente nuovo di guardare un Paese che è stato la quintessenza dell'esperienza turistica per quasi due secoli. Fernweh riflette sulla parola tedesca per il desiderio di essere altrove. L'opera meditativa e scrupolosamente composta di Cole, realizzata con pellicola a colori, evoca la storia nascosta della nazione alpina e il suo paesaggio curato. Cole condivide la pazienza e la delicata tavolozza dei maestri della fotografia europea contemporanea - ma la tensione costruttiva in queste immagini è tutta sua. Con fotografie scattate in ogni angolo del paese - da Vaud a Grigioni a Lugano - Fernweh crea una visione della Svizzera che, sebbene in gran parte priva della presenza umana, è ricca di tracce umane; niente di più tipico del modo distintivo di vedere le cose di Cole.
