Indlæser... Other Edens (1987)af Christopher Evans (Redaktør), Robert Holdstock (Redaktør)
   Ingen Der er ingen diskussionstråde på Snak om denne bog.  AlanPoulter | Nov 13, 2011 |   Original anthology of sf stories by writers based in Britain, published in 1987. My copy has lots of autographs. I had only read one of the stories before (the one by Dave Langford) and enjoyed all the others - thought the very first one, "Crying in the Rain" by Tanith Lee, was particularly memorable; couldn't really see that there were any sfnal elements in M. John Harrison's "Small Heirlooms". (  ) nwhyte | Oct 22, 2011 | ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

In his first body of work, Living Room, British photographer Nick Waplington found the chaotic, multidirectional, often joyous choreography in the everyday lives of two working-class families living in council houses in Notthingham. In Other Edens, his global series of panoramic images. Waplington imposes his body as a physical and metaphorical presence in the landscape. The omnipresent artist--head shaven, and naked so as to deny the possibility of locating him in time--appears in evocative scenes ranging from Naples to Easter Island, from the Peace Park in Hiroshima to the swamps of the Louisiana Bayou. The book's text, by renowned author Marianne Wiggins, includes an interview with Waplington about his extraordinary working methods and the far-flung locations he has chosen to photograph. Invoking the spirits of Friedrich Nietzsche, Eugene lonesco, and Peter Pan, Wiggins provides a brisk and insightful counterpoint to Waplington's exceptional imagery. Other Edens integrates personal, cultural, and comic visions to present an idiosyncratic view of a planet in flux. No library descriptions found. |
