Description from the seller
THOMAS STRUTH PHOTOGRAPHS PALESTINE ISRAEL
Complete and comprehensive photography book by Thomas Struth, excellent design and sublime photographic quality, featuring Israel and Palestine photographs that are some of the most unprecedented by the German photographer Thomas Struth, large-format edition in very good condition!
NO RESERVE PRICE AUCTION!
" This book gathers sixteen photographs by Thomas Struth in Israel and the Israeli-occupied West Bank in 2009, 2011 and 2014. Struth has continued his practice of creating singular images, each within one of the strictly segregated domains he has developed throughout his career: street photography, portraits, landscapes, and photographic works of high technology. Each image carries the enduring complexity and visual distillation of the human experience for which Struth is known.
Addressing the pure diversity and the quiddité of the inhabited world, he attempts to represent what he has called "a particle of the region’s conflict," photographing, fragment by fragment, the political and social landscape in conflict. Ulrich Loock proposes in his essay in the book that this series of images is unified by "strata of antitheses [that] reveal themselves as a matrix traversing the work," while Struth tries to grasp the bounded reality of a region where coexistence has failed, a reality inaccessible to photography.
In some respects, this extraordinary body of work diverges from Struth’s traditional practice: all exhibitions are tied to a single geographic and political reality, as if Struth found all aspects of his photographic vision in one place, and as if Israel and the West Bank were a geographic container for the span of the human condition. The German photographer Thomas Struth (born 1954) is internationally renowned for his extensive body of work, which includes photographs of cities, landscapes, portraits, and architectural interiors.
He trained at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf (1973–1980) and, during that time, was the first artist-in-residence at the P.S.1 Studios in Long Island City. From 1993 to 1996, he was the first professor of photography at the newly established Hochschule für Gestaltung in Karlsruhe. He has exhibited worldwide and a large number of monographs of his work have been published, including Thomas Struth: Photographs 1978-2010 (2010) and Thomas Struth: Unconscious Places (2012).
The German photographer’s contribution to the project This Place: Thomas Struth presents 16 images from the West Bank taken in 2009, 2011 and 2014, ranging between portraits, landscapes, technological installations and markers of battles in the cities, and he renders, fragment by fragment, the human experience in a territory of conflict. (Note: translation of the specific subtitle may vary.)
