<p><b>A brand-new visual odyssey from Accidentally Wes Anderson, authorised by the legendary filmmaker, taking readers on stunning adventures to every continent and sharing oddly moving human tales along the way.</b><br/><br/>AWA is back with a new book full of incredible real photos that look plucked from the world of Wes Anderson - sharing dozens of idiosyncratic stories that make each place unique.<br/><br/>You'll venture to Antarctica through the Drake Passage, make a stop in lesser-known Jincumbilly, Australia (where there are more platypuses than people), travel the backroads of Vermont, and drop into one of the oddest umbrella shops of London.<br/><br/>But no matter where or how the adventure unfolds, it's nothing without the people who make it memorable. Here, we share the stories of communities and characters who come to life as vividly as the photos themselves.<br/><br/>* You'll meet the father of American skydiving, who created the officially sanctioned centre of the world - a Californian town with a population of two.<br/>* You'll visit the 'post office at the end of the world' in Tierra del Fuego - and meet the mustachioed letter carrier who, in his free time, runs an anarchist island micronation called Redonda.<br/>* And you'll travel to a town in the Arctic Circle where cats are not allowed, humans cannot be buried, and a primary attraction is a doomsday vault containing the recipe for the Oreo cookie.<br/><br/>Thank you for exploring!</p>

Dream Street - W.eugene Smiths Pittsburgh Project 1955-1958 [Bok / Häftad]

D has made a little opening in the stable earth of the known, a modest schism in the assumed equivalence between seeing and knowing. Steven Henry Madoff Spanning a prolific five decades, Dawid: This Is a Photograph is the first truly comprehensive publication tracing the work of the pioneering Swedish photographer. With his pared-down, intellectual yet markedly sensual conceptualism Dawid (Björn Dawidsson) was one of the first photographers to break with the prevailing documentary tradition in Sweden in the late 1970s and 80s and claim photography as an artistic medium. Focusing on the formal properties of everyday objects a simultaneous suspension, negation, and affirmation of form his images question our ingrained values and expectations, deconstructing the very foundation of photography from within. Experimentation is an important aspect of Dawid s work, including series of cameraless photography such as his Kemigrams. This willful decision to trade clarity for the porousness and labile mystery of things is not only an investigation of the depicted object but just as much a foray into the very fabric of photography, making the medium itself the subject of his work. This long-awaited book is Dawid s most extensive publication to date and includes a compelling essay by Steven Henry Madoff. Richly illustrated and generously designed, it gives each image its own contemplative space while still preserving the continuity necessary to understand the inner workings of over thirty of his most seminal series, from the late 1970s to today.
