About this Item

Un testo di Urs Odermatt. Fotografie a colori e in bianco e nero di Arnold Odermatt. Edizione in tedesco, francese, inglese . Cm 32x29. pp. 348. . Perfetto (Mint). . Prima edizione (First Edition). . Feierabend - Après le boulot - After Work presenta altri capolavori riscoperti di questo straordinario fotografo autodidatta, che si è formato principalmente svolgendo i suoi doveri di poliziotto nel piccolo e isolato cantone svizzero di Nidwalden. Odermatt sviluppò un profilo artistico non convenzionale, che gli servì dentro e fuori il lavoro. Quando non era in servizio, Odermatt si offriva spesso volontario per scattare fotografie in tutta Nidvaldo. Fotografava i suoi soggetti di solito solo una volta, sviluppava le stampe su richiesta e poi le archiviava nella sua soffitta - tutto veniva conservato ma lasciato da parte. Fortunatamente, Urs Odermatt ha salvato questi tesori e ne ha assicurato la pubblicazione.

About this title

Synopsis

Following Karambolage, On Duty and Off Duty (all published by Steidl), Arnold Odermatt’s (born 1935) After Work presents us with more rediscovered masterpieces by a photographer who trained himself primarily through his police job in the small, secluded Swiss canton of Nidwalden. Odermatt has thus developed his own artistic fingerprint which served him well during his working days as well as after-hours. Off duty, Odermatt often volunteered to take pictures all around his canton. Most of those pictures were shot only once, developed on demand and then archived in the attic, sinking into oblivion. Luckily, the photographer’s son found the treasure and takes care of its reevaluation. After Work is the fourth volume in a series of books that brings into focus this extraordinary work.
