Pictures from the Surface of the Earth
Author: Wim Wenders
Publisher: Schirmer/Mosel
ISBN:
Category : Havana (Cuba)
Languages : en
Pages : 92
Book Description
For many years Wim Wenders has taken an old panorama camera along with him on his travels, using it whenever the sheer wealth of what he saw and the Impressions It left on him burst the confines of the normal scale of things. He refers to his collection as "Pictures from the Surface of the Earth" and In this way emphasizes that they are photographs of a world almost devoid of humans, a natural or manmade world viewed from a distance. What we see are landscapes and city vistas, photos of architecture and nature--taken In the United States, Japan, Australia, Israel, Cuba and Germany. They not only shed light on the many guises the surface of the earth dons, but also attest to Wenders' contemplative and likewise amazed gaze. The book is thus both a portrait of the world as encountered by the photographer and a portrait of the photographer as reflected In his vision of the world.

The Last Pictures
Author: Trevor Paglen
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520954297
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 209
Book Description
Human civilizations' longest lasting artifacts are not the great Pyramids of Giza, nor the cave paintings at Lascaux, but the communications satellites that circle our planet. In a stationary orbit above the equator, the satellites that broadcast our TV signals, route our phone calls, and process our credit card transactions experience no atmospheric drag. Their inert hulls will continue to drift around Earth until the Sun expands into a red giant and engulfs them about 4.5 billion years from now. The Last Pictures, co-published by Creative Time Books, is rooted in the premise that these communications satellites will ultimately become the cultural and material ruins of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, far outlasting anything else humans have created. Inspired in part by ancient cave paintings, nuclear waste warning signs, and Carl Sagan's Golden Records of the 1970s, artist/geographer and MacArthur "Genius" Fellow Trevor Paglen has developed a collection of one hundred images that will be etched onto an ultra-archival, golden silicon disc. The disc, commissioned by Creative Time, will then be sent into orbit onboard the Echostar XVI satellite in September 2012, as both a time capsule and a message to the future. The selection of 100 images, which are the centerpiece of the book, was influenced by four years of interviews with leading scientists, philosophers, anthropologists, and artists about the contradictions that characterize contemporary civilizations. Consequently, The Last Pictures engages some of the most profound questions of the human experience, provoking discourse about communication, deep time, and the economic, environmental, and social uncertainties that define our historical moment.
