James Attlee Book order

Die grandiosen fotografischen Serien von Hiroshi Sugimoto (*1948 in Tokio) beeindrucken durch ihre unübertreffliche Klarheit und Präsenz. Stets erreichen seine minimalistischen Werke eine auf die reine Essenz reduzierte, absolute Verkörperung des gewählten Bildmotivs. Unsere exquisite Monografie versammelt erstmals ausgewählte Arbeiten aus allen bisherigen Serien des Meisterfotografen, darunter natürlich auch seinen bekanntesten: Sugimotos enigmatische Porträts von Wachsfiguren scheinen uns den realen Personen gegenüber treten zu lassen; die extrem lang belichteten Theaters überhöhen weiß leuchtende Kinoleinwände zu magischen Altarbildern; und mit den faszinierenden Dioramas - Fotos naturwissenschaftlicher Schaukästen - ermöglicht uns der Zauber-Künstler, weit in die Vergangenheit zu reisen und Frühmenschen oder gar vor Jahrmillionen ausgestorbene Tierarten zu beobachten. Ausstellungen: Mori Art Museum, Tokio 17.9.2005-9.1.2006 · Im Anschluss Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D. C. · Weitere Stationen in Planung

The story of James Attlee's eccentric quest in search of moonlight, from Normandy to Naples, Wales to Arizona, Las Vegas to Japan.

This is the remarkable story of James Lee who, starting in 1895, spent 20 years pursuing all the pleasures and dangers that the Far East had to offer. A twilight world of ports, red light districts,drug dens and secret chambers of vice from Aden to Kyoto.
