AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller


Welcome to this special sale of books or authors listed in The Chinese Photobook by Parr & Lundgren. All are signed copies. These two books by Olivo Barbieri are listed on pages 400 and 401.

To view the photographic series in full screen, double-click on a photograph, then you can return to the standard display at any time.

Miniature landscapes, a journey into Chinese architecture. 1991, Ar/Ge Kunst. 92 pages, 28 x 29 cm., soft cover with title and ideogram.

2. Notsofareast., 2002, Donzelli publisher, Rome, 92 pages plus two fold-outs, 15.5 x 21.5 cm, hardcover binding and illustrated dust jacket.

Olivo Barbieri has dedicated much of his work to urban space photography, and in 'Miniature Landscapes,' he photographed buildings along a road, gradually transitioning from traditional structures with high-quality edifices to shaky vernacular huts, and finally to large modern buildings. 'Miniature Landscapes' was published in 1991, but with 'Notfareast' published in 2002, it is evident that the urban landscape of China has already changed significantly. Some buildings are still under demolition, but gigantism has become omnipresent. To photograph these scenes, Olivo Barbieri uses his distinctive photographic style with selective focus, transforming these real landscapes into miniature models resembling architectural maquettes.

Exemplary in excellent condition, almost like new. A book from my personal collection kept with the utmost care. Protected shipping with reinforced packaging and guaranteed international tracked postal service. In case of multiple purchases, combined shipping is possible with reimbursement of any excess postal fees paid via Paypal.

1,150 kg excluding packaging
