The silent photographs Wolfgang Laib takes on his travels are perhaps best understood as an attempt to grasp at a fleeting and intangible essence, at the ephemeral, which, according to Laib, is eternal. Many of these images belie a fascination with non-European notions of spirituality, with religions that are embedded in everyday life, with temples and monuments that exert a force in the present. Laib's almost meditative pictures capture the aura of everyday vistas, and often preempt ideas later manifested in his sculptures and installations.

Hardcover. Condition: Sehr gut. Dust Jacket Condition: Sehr gut. 1. Auflage. Z : 144 Seiten, 103 Abb. gebunden mit Schutzumschlag 25,00 x 29,60 cm - Der Bildband sammelt Fotografien des Künstlers von seinen Reisen. Stille Fotografien, die häufig vorwegnehmen, was sich erst Jahre später in den Skulpturen und Räumen Laibs manifestiert. Für Wolfgang Laib dabei besonders faszinierende Aspekte sind außereuropäische Vorstellungen von Spiritualität, etwa die Einbindung der Religion in das Alltagsleben - wie in Indien - oder das Alter mancher Monumente, Tempel oder Grabanlagen, die trotz ihrer Historizität Verbindungen und Kräfte in das Hier und Jetzt ausüben. So zeigen seine Aufnahmen vielfach Menschen, die in zeitloser Beziehung zu diesen steinernen Archetypen leben. Seller Inventory # ABE-1615911974949
