Hardback. Zustand: New. It all started, as so often, with a genetic mutation. It was only around 7,500 years ago that Central European adults began to retain the enzyme necessary to metabolize milk after infancy. Dairy farming in the modern sense began in the early agricultural settlements, where nature gradually became culture and eventually what we call "civilization". No longer wholly dependent on harvests and food reserves, cattle farmers were able to survive even under the harsh climatic conditions of less fertile, often cold and snow-covered mountain regions. Those regions and their inhabitants are the subject of Via Lactea by Swiss photographer Alfio Tommasini. During the long winter months in particular, when man and beast live in close symbiosis under the same roof, he visited mostly smallholders and cattle breeders in the Alps and Alpine foothills as well as large-scale milk and insemination laboratories in Switzerland. Via Lactea presents tableau-like landscapes shot between 2015 and 2019 as well as precisely detailed and yet intimate painterly portraits of farmers and farm animals. Tommasini undertakes a visual study of the relationship between humans, animals and topography in the context of a rapidly changing and increasingly mechanized agriculture and dairy industry. For behind the scenes of our modern-day urban lives lies a vast infrastructure of people and things that a city needs to survive, including highly organized and digitized agro-industries, gigantic warehouses and data centers (Rem Koolhaas). These non urban realms are now, once again, undergoing a sea change-for better or for worse. Via Lactea provides a glimpse of one such peripheral microcosm caught up in the throes of technological transformation. Tommasini's photographs are anything but folkloristic or romanticizing, for the details of the clothing, tools and machinery portrayed bear subtle but telltale signs of ineluctable coevolutionary upheavals.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Es begann, wie so oft, mit einer genetischen Mutation. Erst seit rund 7500 Jahren bewahren sich erwachsene Mitteleuropäer das Enzym, um Milch auch u¿ber das Säuglingsalter hinaus abbauen zu können. Die heutigen Milchbauern nahmen ihren Anfang in den fru¿hen landwirtschaftlichen Besiedelungen, und aus Natur wurde ganz allmählich Kultur und schliesslich das, was man heute Zivilisation nennt. Nicht mehr nur von Ernte und Lebensmittelvorräten abhängig zu sein ermöglichte Viehhaltern von da an das Überleben auch unter harschen klimatischen Bedingungen der weniger fruchtbaren, oft kalten und schneebedeckten Bergregionen. Sie und ihre Bewohnerinnen und Bewohner stehen im Zentrum von 'Via Lactea' des Schweizer Fotografen AlfioTommasini. Gerade in den langen Wintermonaten, wenn Mensch und Tier in enger Symbiose unter einem Dach leben, besuchte er vornehmlich Kleinbauern, aber auch Viehzu¿chter in den voralpinen und Bergregionen sowie grössere Milch- und Besamungslaboratorien der Schweiz.'Via Lactea' versammelt zwischen 2015 und 2019 entstandene tableauhafte Landschaftsfotografien sowie präzise und dennoch intime, den Bauern und ihren Nutztieren zugewandte Porträts von malerischer Qualität. Tommasinis Projekt unternimmt eine bildhafte Studie zum Verhältnis von Mensch, Tier und Topografie im Kontext einer sich rasant verändernden und zunehmend technisierten Land- und Milchwirtschaft. Denn hinter den urbanen Kulissen wohnten all die Menschen und Dinge, die eine Stadt brauche, um zu u¿berleben. Die andere Seite der Medaille, das seien die durchorganisierten und digitalisierten Agrarwirtschaften, gigantische Warenlager und Datenzentren (Rem Koolhaas). Die nichtstädtischen Gebiete scheinen - im Positiven wie im Negativen - wieder einmal die Orte einer grossen Transformation zu sein. 'Via Lactea' eröffnet einen Blickin einen Mikrokosmos dieser Peripherie, der keineswegs folkloristisch-romantisierend ausfällt, denn in den Bilddetails der Kleidung, der Werkzeuge und Maschinen blitzen subtil immer wieder die Insignien dieses technologischen, ko-evolutionären Umbruchs auf.…
