Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. To Reach the Source: The Stepwells of India is a photography book about a unique and magnificent architectural form that remains unknown to most people outside (and even within) India. More than just a shaft dug into the earth to fetch water, these are entire buildings that descend several stories below ground; they are spaces to be entered and occupied, serving functional, social, and ritual purposes. Often, they are as monumental and ornate as a church, and this is intentional.They are a source of water, a gathering space, and a temple all at once, but instead of rising into the sky, they descend below the surface. They create a spatial experience unlike any other, in which one is below ground but remains connected to the sun and sky. Today they lie largely abandoned and overlooked, in various states of preservation or, more often, disrepair. The photographs seek to recreate the striking ambiance that they elicit. The brief text that follows the images (interspersed with a few architectural drawings) provides a necessary minimum of context, ultimately to reinforce the primarily visual nature of the readers experience, one in which the photographs have priority. The photographs seek to give readers some sense of the meditative process of descending into these beautiful structures, of going away from the surface on which we live, but not being cut off from it, instead directed towards the very source of life.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - A photography book about a unique and magnificent architectural form that remains unknown to most people outside (and even within) India.With steps leading down to the water's edge, stepwells are inverted buildings that descend several stories below ground. Often, they are as monumental and ornate as a church, and this is intentional. They are a source of water, a gathering space, and a temple all at once. Stepwells create a visual and spatial experience unlike any other, in which the below-ground remains connected to the sun and sky above. There are thousands of stepwells across the Indian Subcontinent, many of them 500-1,000 years old, each one different from the other. Most lie abandoned and overlooked, in varying states of preservation or, more often, disrepair, but they remain beautiful and compelling. The 48 photographs in this book were made across India to convey the beauty and diversity of these structures and the striking ambiances they elicit. A brief text accompanies the images to provide history and context, interspersed with several architectural drawings by Tanvi Jain. The images seek to give readers a sense of what it feels like to immerse oneself in such a unique, meditative space, and to be impelled towards the very source of life: water. …

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - In Shipbreak wird Ende der 90er ein amerikanisches Handelsschiff nach seiner letzten Reise in Bangladesch verschrottet und rezykliert. Es ist die Geschichte eines Frachters, der, an seiner endgültigen Destination angekommen, für eine Reihe von Menschen zum Prüfstein wird: für die amerikanischen Schiffsbauer, die ihn in den frühen 60er bauten, für die Seeleute, die vierzig Jahre lang auf ihm arbeiteten und für die Schiffsverschrotter in Bangladesch, die ihn hauptsächlich von Hand in seine Einzelteile zerlegten. Aber auch für die vielen Menschen im Deltabereich, die aus dem Metall, den Schrauben, Ketten und Drähten des zerlegten Frachters ein Meer von Alltagsgegenständen herstellen - es ist ihr Versuch, an der Wirtschaft teilzunehmen, ihr Beitrag an die Infrastruktur des Landes. Shipbreak beschreibt, wie ein Schiff, ganzheitlich betrachtet, vor allem eines sein kann: Existenzgrundlage. Für jene, die an den Entwürfen und am Bau mitwirken, für jene, die es über die Weltmeere begleiten und für jene, die es am Ende auseinandernehmen und weiterverarbeiten. Alles Menschen, die im Grunde nichts miteinander zu tun haben und doch plötzlich durch etwas Grossartiges miteinander verbunden sind: das Handelsschiff als Quelle ihres Lebensunterhalts. Reproduktionen der Schiffsentwürfe, Aufnahmen der Instandsetzung und Bilder der Verschrottung und der daraus resultierten Recycle-Objekte erzählen in Shipbreak das Leben dieses amerikanischen Handelsschiffs. Ein Schiff, das vierzig Jahre lang auf hoher See war und heute in Form von Schaufel, Schere, Trommelstock, Mörser und Shiva-Skulptur weiterlebt. (Claudio Cambon).…
