Items related to Earth Extremes: Nine Projects Made of Space and Time
Synopsis
“When producing works of art, the artist judges a piece’s themes from a point of view that is characteristic of his beliefs and to the perspective that he takes on things. In many cases, this point of view is set outside the system the piece is about”
So writes artist Christian Waldgovel in Earth Extremes, a collection of nine of his projects from the past six years. For the pieces in Earth Extremes, Waldgovel situates his point of view in space, using photography and digital imagery to examine our world within the solar system. In Top of the World, for example, Waldvogel imagines approaching the Earth from another galaxy, as though he was an alien traveling from another planet. In another, Waldgovel imagines Galileo’s fate had he the opportunity to observe the Earth from the Moon. Combining science with art and imagination, Earth Extremes offers readers a glimpse of what it’s like to travel through the final frontier.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Waldvogel, Christian (illustrator). Neuware - Der Künstler und Architekt Christian Waldvogel (\*1971) vertrat 2004 die Schweiz an der Architekturbiennale in Venedig. Seither ist er in der internationalen Kunstszene durch eigenwillige konzeptuelle Arbeiten aufgefallen. In den Medien Fotografie, Video und digitale Bilderzeugung realisiert, thematisieren die teilweise spektakulären Installationen die Erde im Sonnensystem und den Menschen in seiner Lebenswelt. Waldvogel entwickelt eigentliche Gedankenexperimente, wobei er sich dabei auf wissenschaftlich gesicherte Daten stützt. So hat er etwa Vertreter der NASA oder der Schweizer Luftwaffe für die Mitarbeit an Projekten gewinnen können.Diese erste Monografie über Christian Waldvogels Schaffen gibt - über die Darstellung von neun Projekten aus den letzten sechs Jahren - einen Einblick in seine ungewöhnliche, stark narrative Bilder- und Ideenwelt. Mit Texten zu jedem Projekt und einem Essay des Frieze-Co-Chefredaktors Jörg Heiser. Seller Inventory # 9783858813053
