ISBN: 9781861891143 / Angielski / Twarda / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the Lives of Images, Peter Mason examines four striking case studies involving the production and transmission of visual images of non-European peoples. Beginning with what has been taken to be the earliest three-dimensional European representation of Native Americans, he then focuses on the migration of such images via 16th century Meso-American codices to the murals painted by Diego Rivera four centuries later. Mason also looks at the relationship between drawing and engraving of natives of Formosa by Georges Psalmanaazaar, who never traveled to that country. Finally, he examines...

Peep Show
ISBN: 9781899235247 / Angielski / Twarda / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Photographed in the red light districts of Paris, Vicky Wetherhill's first book captures the very essence of the peep show - its titillation, its voyeurism, its seedy and secretive nature. This is a world of shadows - of life on the margins - revealed through voluptuously curtained neon-lit doorways, with their strategic gaps and seductive folds. Footprints, shadows and patches of light provide further visual clues of the provocative symbolism at work in these images as even the clientele become anonymous markers of this voyeuristic process.

Good News*: *Always Read the Fine Print
ISBN: 9788489698987 / Angielski / Twarda / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The disarmingly clear-eyed landscapes and cityscapes of Jordi Bernado reveal a photographer with an uncanny ability to sidestep all cliches and re-invent the genre. Photography here is conceived as a dense text whose meaning is to be found in overall comprehension, yet which contains subtle data if we read between the lines -- if we read, that is, the fine print to which the title's asterisk refers. Bernado lays out his photographs in pairs, and thus suggests a way to perhaps a third, unseen image. The unique format of the book, its horizontal length and careful design, make the book a...

Desert America: Territories of Paradoxon
ISBN: 9788496540095 / Angielski / Board book Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The desert is a huge paradox. Beneath its outward appearance of immensity and silence, are the sounds of various experiments, mysteries, and utopias. The setting of outrageous true histories, entertainment oases founded on consumerism and play, and the secret staging of military power, the desert is far from empty. Instead, it is full of activity: unexpected, uninhibited, and excessive. Not subject to barriers and seemingly free of the formal, ideological or cultural ties of global society, the desert cultivates alternate architectures, urbanisms, and built phenomena. Through photographs,...
