Items related to Guido Mocafico: Movement
Time is naturally divided by astronomical phenomena, such as the seasons or day and night, which repeat themselves in a cyclical fashion. To divide Time into finer fractions, artificial means such as sundials which mark the movement of the shadows projected by the sun, or clepsydra based on water flow, were invented. Ever since 1657, when the first watch was created, we use oscillatory movements of a mechanical system to measure time. The photographer Guido Mocafico has explored these movements. He chose more complex and rarer mechanisms: a whole new world of know-how controlled by Master Watchmakers without any trace of electronics. A plunge into an unknown world, comparable to the exploration of living being.

Book Description hardcover. Condition: Perfetto (Mint). Prima edizione (First Edition). Fotografie a colori, a piena pagina, e testi di Guido Mocafico . Cm 34x34. pp. 96. . Perfetto (Mint). . Prima edizione (First Edition). . Il tempo è naturalmente scandito dal ripetersi dei fenomeni astronomici, dal ciclo giornaliero e dalle stagioni, dall'avvicendarsi delle notti e dei mesi. Per suddividerlo in frazioni più sottili, i nostri antenati hanno inventato le meridiane e clessidre. Ma dal 1657, quando fu creato il primo orologio, abbiamo utilizzato i movimenti oscillatori di un sistema meccanico per svolgere questo compito. Il fotografo Guido Mocafico, si propone di osservare questi sistemi. Ha scelto meccanismi complessi e rari - fisicamente meccanici piuttosto che elettronici - che lo hanno condotto in un mondo di conoscenze tradizionali controllate da maestri orologiai.Guido Mocafico è nato in Svizzera nel 1962 e oggi lavora in Svizzera e a Parigi. Specializzato in nature morte, tra i libri di Mocafico con Steidl figurano Venenum (2005), Medusa (2006), Serpens (2007), Movement (2008), Stilleven (2013) e Mocafico Numéro (2016). Book.
