Presents photographs of Alpine tram stations, ski runs, and panoramic terraces. "The Alps are a playground for winter sports fans and enthusiastic mountain climbers, a populated Alpine leisure park. Walter Niedermayr documents the effects of Alpine tourism on the mountain world. But his pictures on the 'injuries' to the landscape are by no means pure photographic depictions of reality. He works in a subtle way with minimal changes of angle and viewpoint and uses scarcely perceptible alterations to combine individual pictures into disturbing photographic arrangements, achieving an intensity of seeing. At the same time, Niedermayr's photographic eye captures the traces of the Alpine leisure industry as aesthetic signs and lines in the landscape. The moments of tension emerge from the ambivalence between the beautiful appearance of the composition and the knowledge of the vulnerability of the mountain world and the ecological danger it faces" (Publisher's blurb). Niedermayr shows just how profoundly ambiguous the photographic image is indeed, turning everything into something beautiful yet also able somehow to reveal the painful truth that hides behind the scrim of beauty. A book like Jules Spinatsch's "Temporary Discomfort" (2005) surely owes something to Niedermayr's exemplary model. A "must-have" title for Walter Niedermayr collectors. This is an Import title, was not distributed in the United States, and is now very highly collectible. This is one of very few copies of the Limited Edition still available online and is in fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a beauty. A rare copy thus. 98 color, 17 black-and-white plates. Walter Niedermayr's "Momentary Resorts" was selected as one of the greatest photography books in "The Photobook". One of the most brilliant living photographers. A fine collectible copy.

Book Description: Germany: Hatje Cantz Pub, 1998. Hardcover. Book Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. FINE, FIRST EDITION, SCARCE, OUT-OF-PRINT. Offered in very fine (book) / fine (jacket) condition with slight curling at top edge of jacket. Published by Hatje Cantz Verlag, Ostfildern, Germany, 1998. Walter Niedermayr grew up in the Alps region of Italy, home to many winter sports resorts. This life-long exposure has surely influenced him and his artwork, and in this book he depicts these resorts with a dispassionate eye, displaying the beauty of the setting but also the impact human industry has on the landscape. By photographing the same view from subtly different angles, he creates a more full reality of the scene. From Parr and Badger, "History of the Photobook Vol. II": "Photographically, Niedermayr's images are beautiful, though not romantic. Indeed, they are anti-romantic. They hold firmly to depicting the social utilization of mountains, as opposed to showing man within the sublimity of nature." This book, with design by the Little Stars of Bethlehem, includes text by Sigrid Hauser, Francesco Bonami, and Guy Tortosa. It was limited to an edition of 2,650 copies and is now out of print and considered very rare. "Reservate des Augenblicks / Momentary Resorts" is a vital document of the utilization of the Alps, a unique artistic achievement, and a necessary item for any Niedermayr collection. It is a hardcover with pictorial dust jacket. It has 98 color and 17 black-and-white plates and measures 11.25 x 13 inches. "Reservate des Augenblicks / Momentary Resorts" is in very fine (book) / fine condition (with slight curling at top edge of jacket), in stock, and available for immediate shipping.

In his tableaus from close-up photos Walter Niedermayr documents the effects of Alpine tourism on the mountain world. But his pictures on the 'injuries' to the landscape are by no means pure photographic depictions of reality; he works in a subtle way with minimal changes of angle and viewpoint, and uses scarcely perceptible alterations to combine individual pictures into disturbing photo arrangements, achieving an intensity of seeing. At the same time, Niedermayr's artistic, photographic eye captures the traces of the Alpine leisure industry as aesthetic signs and lines in the landscape. The moments of tension in his photos emerge not least from the individualistic ambivalence between the beautiful appearance of the composition and the knowledge of the vulnerability of the mountain world and the ecological danger it faces. Momentary Resorts [was] created during three years of research in the Alpine region.". Bookseller Inventory # 108014
