Text: Wencke Hertzsch, Walter Moser, Margot Zuckriegl
Publisher: Kehrer Verlag
300 pages
Pictures: 151 color
Year: 2012
Comments: limited collector's edition of 30 copies includes one signed fine-art-print in the size of 18 x 30 cm. 3 different motifs (see the pictures). Photographs are laid in sealed and stamped Hahnemuehle fine art cardboards. Comes in a grey stamped box with one of the three prints. Contact us if you want to choose the motif. Book: softcover, open back with book jacket, German and English, the book only is out of print, these are the last available copies.
In his highly impressive series, the Austrian photographer Gregor Sailer has investigated closed communities in Algeria / Western Sahara, Argentina, Azerbaijan, Chile, Qatar, and Russia.
By means of refined architectural and landscape photography, he has succeeded in giving a face to these otherwise effectively invisible, artificially created urban agglomerations that are hermetically sealed off from the eyes of the world either by walls or by their hostile surroundings.
His subjects are raw-material mines, military bases, and refugee camps, as well as gated communities for the wealthy. These temporally circumscribed forms of urban settlement succinctly reflect and reveal a historical turning point that the world is now experiencing at the turn of the 21st century: dwindling resources, climate changes, political conflicts, and the wish for absolute security.
