These are not reprints or facsimiles but complete studies of the original books. Each volume in the series presents the entire content, page for page, of an original master bookwork which, up until now, has been too rare or expensive for most to experience. Through a mix of classic and contemporary titles, this series spans the breadth of photographic practice as it has appeared on the printed page and allows further study of the creation and meanings of these great works of art. Each volume in the series contains illustrations of every page in the original photobook, a new essay by an established writer on photography, production notes about the creation of the original edition and biographical and bibliographical information about each artist.\u003cbr\u003eIn October of 1991, French artist Sophie Ristelhueber photographed the battle-scarred landscape of Kuwait following the end of the first Gulf War. The book, \u003ci\u003eFait, \u003c\/i\u003e which in French means fact or what was done, remains one of our least known but most powerful statements about the aftermath of war. \u003ci\u003eBooks on Books 3\u003c\/i\u003e presents all 71 black-and-white and color photographs as seen in the original artist's book as it was conceived and designed by Ristelhueber. Marc Mayer of the Mus'e d'art contemporain de Montreal contributes an essay that discusses Ristelhueber's disturbing yet beautiful achievement.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49555586744593,"sku":"GOR013556199","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50479672623377,"sku":"CIN1935004042G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1935004042.jpg?v=1750868368"},{"product_id":"west-bank-book-sophie-ristelhueber-9780500542989","title":"West Bank","description":"What am I doing on the roof of my car, smashed on the platform from where 'it is sweet to stand and see, from the safe and distant shore, others in distress amidst billows and raging gales; not drawing delight from another's misfortune, but rejoicing over being spared such desperation*'? Doubtless as an artist, I am at war, too - Sophie Ristelhueber (*excerpt from Lucretius, \"De Rerum Natura\", II, 1-4) In her intensely personal yet objectively restrained photographs, Sophie Ristelhueber embraces and records the scars of human existence. 'I have these obsessions that I do not completely understand, with the deep mark, with the ruptured surface, with scars and traces, traces that human beings are leaving on the earth', she says. She transcends the turmoil and specificity of a location and creates art without limits of time and identity through photographs that are haunting, provocative and telling. Ristelhueber's photographs only ever carry evidence of human activity, never images of people themselves: it is through the absence of life that she manages so profoundly to address life's fragile presence.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49623623926033,"sku":"GOR006906131","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0500542988.jpg?v=1750942767"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-sophie-ristelhueber.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
