ISBN: 9783938025079 / Angielski / Twarda / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. One byproduct of our global car culture is the proliferation of parking lots. By looking closely at these spaces that we usually ignore (unless we're searching for a parking spot), Carsten Meier, with these photographs, finds mystery in the mundane. Are they a real convenience or a kind of manipulation? In the empty parking lots of recently closed or just-built shopping centers, or in the vertigious view of a city over the railing of a multistorey deck, Meier depicts, as Stephen Shore has done before him, ordinary emblems of our extraordinary mobility.

Josef Sudek: Ancient Forest of the Beskids
ISBN: 9788072153442 / Angielski / Twarda / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 15-20 dni roboczych. The series of photographs that Joseph Sudek created in the Mionsi Forest of Morovia's Beskid Mountains is perhaps the most classically Romantic and visually stunning body of work ever made by this important Czech photographer.

Years later, alone, deep in the virgin forest, he lay in wait for the light that he knew would lend the ancient trees their ghostly aspect--finding graceful compositions in isolated wilderness. Photography...
