Add to basketHardback. Condition: Near fine. First Edition. 30 x 23cm. Oblong hardcover in illustrated boards, 132pp. Fully illustrated. In English and Italian with some Sanskrit. A photographic and conceptual meditation on ritual and spirituality, specifically in India: Hindu rites of passage, initiatory dances, fire walks, etc. Contains numerous essays and an interview between the artist and Klaus Ottmann. Laib writes: "a long story lies behind the genesis of this event [held at the Fondazione Merz from 9 April to 7 June 2009]. For Documenta 1987, Mario Merz invited me to exhibit a vase of pollen on a spiral table. That was the beginning of a beautiful and very precious friendship between two artists with, ?I believe, different lives, different ages, but sometimes a very similar way of looking. We were both fascinated, something that has much enriched our lives. So, it will be much more than an exhibition of different objects and works; not an exhibition for an individual artist, it will concern the whole world, the universe and also our very existence. I have had this dream for the whole of my life, since when I tried to be a doctor, realising very quickly that that meant only dealing with the physical body, whereas our life and existence cannot be reduced simply to matter." Very good condition.

Hardcover. Condition: Gut bis sehr gut. 1. Auflage. B : 136 pages, zahlr. Ill. 24 x 30 cm - This generously illustrated book chronicles Laib's 2009 exhibition at the Fondazione Merz, which featured a site-specific installation of his trademark rice and pollen "mountains" paired with a towering ziggurat of beeswax intended to symbolize "the bond of the sky with the earth." In an effort to demonstrate the belief systems underlying Laib's work, the foundation invited 33 Brahmin priests from various South Indian temples to perform their rituals at 33 altars placed in an open-air courtyard. Twice daily for seven days, they lit 33 fires and burned various herbs, fruits, and spices as part of the 1,000-year-old mahayagna. This ritual, which comes from Hindu Vedic traditions, explores both sacrificial and spiritual sentiments. Things from material life are consumed and surrendered so that the continuing cycle of new beginnings remains uninterrupted.

Hardback. Condition: New. The essays presented in this volume constitute a progression from general considerations related to the 'etic' (in the geertzian sense of the word) approach to South Asian cultural productions, to peculiar and detailed investigations of them. Such a sequence is meant to develop a renovated and systemic approach, through which these specific cultural materials should be interpreted: materials not to be read in isolation, nor with an overemphasised concern for cultural relativity. Rather, they should be viewed as meaningful examples of sophisticated intellectual and cultural procedures to be included into a broader comparative discussion, also in order to increase the quality and the depth of such debate.
