Beschrijving
26 x 29.5 cm. 107 pp. Hardcover. Illustrated in colour.Over the past two decades, Los Angeles-based artist Connie Samaras (born 1950) has used photography and video ? as well as writing, teaching and political activism ? to explore the aspirations and anxieties of the imagined future through depictions of built environments that she calls ?speculative landscapes.? Dealing with the paradoxes of these surreal environments ? vast, impersonal constructions such as the cities of Las Vegas and Dubai and the remote, scientific colonies of the South Pole or a commercial space launch facility in New Mexico ? Samaras? ongoing interest is in mapping political geographies and the psychological dislocation in the everyday. – As new
