Hardback. Condition: New. Photographed over a ten-year period, Dog Houses is a collection of 30 forlorn and often humorous color images of canine shelters found throughout the Southern California desert landscape. American photographer Mark Ruwedel (b. 1954), known for his majestic "Westward" series of residual landforms created by expanding railroad lines across the nineteenth-century American West, turns his discerning eye to the last western frontier-the American desert. Dog Houses, part of Ruwedel's larger "Desert House" series, takes readers to a place where signs of human activity in the landscape are much more recent and revealing. Like their human counterparts, the doghouses in these photographs constitute an inventory of an iconic yet surprisingly flexible form. Often made from discarded material left over from the construction of human houses, the funny and sometimes haunting structures evoke the asymmetrical yet reciprocal relationship between owner and animal.…

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. In the second volume of Mark Ruwedels epic study of the landscapes of Los Angeles, the artist heads to the coast the furthest edge of the basins sprawl before it meets the Pacific Ocean. These absorbing and layered photographs suggest extremes of many kinds: the far reaches of urbanisation, the dramatic geographies of desert and sea, the boundless ambitions of empire, and the spiralling climate conditions that most recently have seen these areas devastated by fires. Charting a hundred-mile route from Point Mugu, north of Malibu, down to the Bolsa Chica Wetlands of Orange County, Ruwedel studies a range of intricately textured landscapes, woven with the traces of decades of human intervention and the countervailing forces of nature and time. His large-format black-and-white photography recalls iconic photographer-cartographers of the nineteenth century while calling into question the taxonomic certainty and implicit politics of their surveying projects. With this second volume, Ruwedel carries his ambitious project further still towards openness and complexity, capturing the territory with delicacy and precision even as he reveals its elusive scale.Includes an essay by Duncan Forbes, Head of Photography at the V&A Museum, London Focussing on the coastal landscapes of Los Angeles, this epic volume traces the struggle between human intervention and forces of nature through absorbing large-format photography. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Hardback. Condition: New. Ouarzazate is a small city in the Moroccan desert famous for its movie studios and filming locations, an industry which began with David Lean and Lawrence of Arabia.Invited by the American Friends of the Marrakech Museum for Photography and the Visual Arts to propose a project for his artist residency there, Ruwedel photographed the movie sets in 2014 and 2016.Much of the filming activity in Ouarzazate has been for costume and Biblical epics. Cleopatra, The Garden of Eden, The Mummy, The Last Temptation of Christ; but also The Sheltering Sky and The Hills Have Eyes. Many of the sets appear to have been abandoned while others are constantly repurposed.An Egyptian portal leads to a medieval village. An authentic Kasbah in ruins is actually a ruined replica of a "real" Kasbah elsewhere. Shepherds drive their flocks past "ancient" siege machines and Roman columns. "I was reminded of certain passages in Nathaniel West's Day of the Locust."Far from the American deserts where he has produced much of his work of the past thirty years, in Morocco Ruwedel continues his long term interest in contemporary ruins and the histories of both landscape and landscape photography. The photographs are eerily reminiscent of 19th century European photography of ancient Egypt and the Middle East.…

Hardcover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. New, unmarked. Publisher's shrinkwrap. Mark Ruwedel (b. 1954) has photographed the American West for the past twenty-five years. This stunning book presents more than 70 prints from Ruwedel's ongoing series, an inventory of the residual landforms created by the scores of railroads built in the American and Canadian West since 1869. The grades, cuts, tunnels, and trestles depicted in Ruwedel's photographs speak to a past triumph of technology over what was often perceived as hostile terrain. Long abandoned (and in some cases never completed), the railroads also evoke the futility of the enterprise. // Shipped carefully packed in a sturdy box.…
