About this title

Synopsis

Seeking the "ideal picture," Fischli & Weiss have taken beautiful photographs of the varied landscapes they have traveled through over the past 15 years, capturing multiple images of cities, towns, and country rounds, cactus, Egyptian pyramids, and Buddhist temples--each from a slightly different angle. Arranged eight to a page in Visible Worlds, each picture is afforded equal importance.

Paperback, 8.25 x 10.75 in., 360 pages, 2800 color, 51 b/w illustrations
