Stefano Cerio: Chinese Fun - Hardcover

Review:
Artificial worlds: Eerie images capture recreational places at the dead of night... (Harriet Verney CNN)
[S]ites that are joyous frenzies by day become uncanny in the darkness. A frontier schooner looks to be levitating from its ferris wheel, while the head of King Kong trapped in a lonely cage at the center of some whirling ride is more melancholy than menacing in the low light. In each scene, the emptiness and seemingly limitless black background heighten the surreal settings. (Allison Meier Hyperallergic)

Book Description gebunden. Condition: Neu. Neu -Trugbilder von Spaß und Frohsinn, Projektionen des Glücks: chinesische Freizeitparks. Stefano Cerios besonderes Augenmerk gilt Gegenwelten: Er fotografiert für seine vielschichtigen Serien Freizeitparadiese - Skiarenen, Kreuzfahrtriesen, Erlebnisbäder und Funparks. Selbst italienische Straßenaltäre gehören für ihn zu diesen bunten Scheinwelten, die sich der Mensch errichtet, um dem Alltag zu entfliehen. Doch Cerio (\*1962) demaskiert in seinen kühlen Bildern, die Fahrgeschäfte und Spaßbäder ausnahmslos außerhalb der Saison und daher ohne Besucher porträtieren, die Brüche, die Trostlosigkeit und Sinnlosigkeit, die hinter den lustigen Fassaden zutage treten. Für Chinese Fun besuchte der Fotograf eine ganze Reihe von Freizeitparks, Badelandschaften und Sportplätzen in Peking, Schanghai, Tsingtau und Hongkong. Seine zentralperspektivisch arrangierten Kompositionen entstehen mit der Plattenkamera und dokumentieren ausgesucht absurde Arrangements, vom hausgroßen Früchtekorb aus Beton bis zu den Gleisschlingen einer riesigen Achterbahn im Innenhof eines Bürokomplexes.

Book Description Condition: Neu. ONLY AS A PACKAGE DUE TO THE WEIGHT (= currently 4.50 postage). Abroad = 16 ! 122 pages, english with German and Italian texts, 55 colored illustrations, illustrated cover, still originally sealed, Stefano Cerio (born in 1962) directs his attention to alternative worlds: for his elaborate series he takes pictures of recreational paradises - ski arenas, cruises, water and fun parks. For the artist, Italian street altars even count among these colorful illusory worlds that people create for the purpose of escaping from everyday life. Yet in his cool photographs Cerio without exception exposes the fun rides and the adventure pools in the off-season and therefore devoid of visitors; the ruptures, the bleakness, and the senselessness that become visible behind the amusing facades. For Chinese Fun, the photographer visited a whole range of recreational parks, water landscapes, and sports grounds in Beijing, Canton, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Macao, Qingdao, Shaghai and Shenzhen.
