Inhaltsangabe
For book lovers, Fallen Books will have the grim fascination of a car wreck or crime scene. It collects photographs of toppled books and bookcases from libraries in seismically active areas, organized chronologically with the cool appraising eye of a mortician, with captions from newspapers or librarian's notes, and with the pages for each incident color-coded according to the Mercalli Scale.

152 pp.; 14.8 x 20 cm.; glue bound; black-and-white & color; edition size unknown; unsigned and unnumbered; offset-printed Artist''s book documenting the journey of an oversized umbrella made by Aleksandra Mir as it traveled to six cities: Paris, London, Dresden, Copenhagen, New York and Martinique where it was destroyed in a storm. "Twice the radius of a typical big men''s umbrella. The Big Umbrella, was designed to shield up to 16 people from the rain. It was a cheerful and simply idyllic structure, but did 16 people want to crowd together to avoid getting wet? Does bad weather affect people differently in different parts of the world? To find out, I took my big umbrella on the road between 2003-2004, visiting 6 cities in as many countries. Traveling the world with a familiar object of uncanny proportions can have some unexpected effects. While The Big Umbrella proved useful as a tool for plucking down stray balls from trees, its unwieldy size on busy streets turned altruistic motives into harassment. Providing a shelter, it brought some strangers momentarily together, while alienating others, and in its most salient moments, simply amplified the solitude of the bearer." -- artist''s statement. Fine. In publisher issued shrink wrap. Due to large size and weight of this publication additional shipping charges will be required for international orders. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 37777

paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Most of our very good books have only minor imperfections such as shelf wear consistent with a new book that's sat on a bookshop shelf for a year or two. Occasionally we may miss other minor imperfections as we have to grade books at speed. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
