Synopsis
From the Epilogue of this 178 page book, photographer Michael Ruetz writes: "The idea for 'Cosmos' came about in 1972 in Bohemia near Jincin, the birthplace of Karl Kraus. There was a storm, the wind blew the leaves of a bush upwards, the white underside of the leaves could be seen, and with it the wind. The unseen became visible. Goethe noted down on February 24, 1787, in Sant' Agata: 'The wind moved the olives and brought the silver underside of the leaves to light'. 'Cosmos' is the sum of three decades of work. The pictures of the microcosm were taken mainly in Australia and America, those of the macrocosm in Europe. No matter whether I was travelling or not, I still made the same amount of pictures. When I photographed the town (page 37) at twilight, I resolved that some day I would take the same photo at daytime. Seven years later the diptych was finished. Its context is temporal, not geographic. One has to take time if one doesn't have it; waiting and time are part of the picture

A dazzling collection: Some of the most stunning landscape photographs ever taken. If the title is not explicit enough, this book is the photographer's celebration of the diverse world we live in and sometimes fail to grasp in its splendid, sometimes terrifying beauty. Contains photographs presented in the highest-quality reproduction: A shot of a romantic castle, a shore that looks like a screen shot of an H. F. Lovecraft novel, a medieval fortress beside a placid lake, and an entire section called "Heaven's Hieroglyphics", which is unsurpassed in the way it captures lightning storms. "In Michael Ruetz's moody, atmospheric color photographs, the mysterious is divulged. The paradoxical, what once seemed invisible, is revealed in these photographs, which prove Oscar Wilde's adage that the 'mystery is the visible, not the invisible' ". An absolute "must-have" title for Michael Ruetz collectors. This title is a contemporary art photography classic.
