Where science reaches its limits in his works, the imagination frequently finds a creative space in which to flourish. In Landscapes without Memory, Fontcuberta has co-opted a piece of computer software originally designed for military or scientific use in rendering three-dimensional images of landscapes. The software enables the user to build photo-realistic models based on information scanned from two-dimensional sources - usually satellite surveys or cartographic data. The result gives the user the illusion of navigating in three dimensions what had previously been visualized only as a flat image. With this widely available \"freeware\" as his starting point, Fontcuberta has created the two series that constitute his Landscapes without Memory. In the \"Landscapes of Landscapes\" series, Fontcuberta feeds the software fragments of pictures by Turner, Cezanne, Dali, Stieglitz, Weston, and others, forcing the program to interpret a variety of landscape masterworks as \"real.\" The contours and tones of these painted and photographic landscapes are transformed into three-dimensional mountains, rivers, valleys, and clouds. The vocabulary of art is thus transmuted into that of cartography. In the \"Bodyscapes\" series, Fontcuberta uses the same software to reinterpret photographs depicting fragments of his own body. The result? A wild, baroque, virtualfantasy world. While referring to the contemporary exchange between illusion, nature, culture, and technology, Landscapes without Memory also makes a pointed gesture aimed at fooling that epitome of machine rationalism: the computer.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50055358513425,"sku":"GOR013847895","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50394931265809,"sku":"CIN1931788790VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1931788790.jpg?v=1751219704"},{"product_id":"photography-book-joan-fontcuberta-9788495273505","title":"Photography","description":"Featuring such established and emerging photographers as Joan Fontcuberta, Hubertus von Ameluxen, Daniel Girardin, Andr Gunthert, Ian Jeffrey, Mounira Khemir, Boris Kossoy, Andrea Kunnard, Vincent Lavoie, Joan Warnaco, Jos Antonio Navarrete, Bernardo Riego, Teresa Siza, Marie Loup Sougez, Johan Swinnen, Carmelo Vega, and Henning Steen Wettendorff, Photography: Crisis in History showcases work that challenges the way in which we have normally understood the medium of photography. At a time when the photographic image is omnipresent--in our daily environment as it is in art--the historical and aesthetic models used to interpret photography are in a state of crisis. Here an international group of historians and critics--as well as the artists mentioned above--revise the dominant assumptions on which our knowledge and appreciation of the history of photography have been based, and set out a number of possible alternatives. Featuring a selection of the best in contemporary international photography, as well as sixteen revealing and concise essays exploring the state of the historical question in photography, Photography: Crisis in History is an exhilarating artistic and art-historical document.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50737846681873,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50737847992593,"sku":"CIN8495273500VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52449519501585,"sku":"GOR005421876","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53047526326545,"sku":"GOR013176780","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/8495273500.jpg?v=1750904369"},{"product_id":"joan-fontcuberta-photobolsillo-book-joan-fontcuberta-9788416248988","title":"Joan Fontcuberta: PHotoBolsillo","description":"The aim of Spanish photographer Joan Fontcuberta (born 1955) has always been to destabilize the veracity attributed to photography, whether through image or story manipulation.

Trained in advertising and raised in Franco's Spain, Fontcuberta has been creating postmodern works of photography since the mid-80s, co-opting all forms of media and public communication to breed distrust in the truth of the image. Edited and created under the supervision of Fontcuberta himself, this is a book of his books, as well as a compendium of the work and the semantic and visual games of this master of Spanish photography. The volume includes a text by one of the key figures of Catalan contemporary culture, Josep Ramoneda, and by the curator of the exhibition, Sema DAcosta, as well as an interview with the photographer.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52659164905745,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52659165790481,"sku":"NLS9788416248353","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9788416248353.jpg?v=1762262402"},{"product_id":"chuck-samuels-book-joan-fontcuberta-9783735607317","title":"Chuck Samuels","description":"Becoming Photography looks back at the more than 30-year-long career of the Canadian artist Chuck Samuels (*1956).
