First Edition. Fine copy in the original color-printed, stiff-card wrappers.

Subject: Shao lin si (Dengfeng Xian, China) --Pictorial works. For the first time in history, the notoriously guarded warrior monks of the 1500-year-old Shaolin Temple--a Chinese Buddhist sect dedicated to preserving a form of kung fu known as the "vehicle of Zen"--have allowed their secretive society to be documented. With the blessing of the main abbot, Justin Guariglia earned the trust and full collaboration of the Shaolin monks to create an astonishing, empathic record of the Shaolin art forms and the individuals who consider themselves the keepers of these traditions. Over the past eight years, Guariglia has deftly captured the changing context of this ancient sect as it encounters the increasingly hyper-modern world of contemporary China. This amazing work provides viewers with a rare opportunity to examine the energy and spirit of the Shaolins' unique Zen practice, which has until now primarily been seen via pop-cultural interpretation in such films as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. It features serial imagery of fighting poses; cinematic grid images and cool design. 1 Kg. …

Hardcover. Zustand: gut. 2008. The celebrated photographer captures Chicago's changing urban environment in a series of cityscape images focusing on the central downtown area. Zusatzinfo Illustrated in colour throughout Chicago, like many urban centers throughout the world, has recently undergone a surge in new construction, grafting a new layer of architectural experimentation onto those of past eras. In early 2007, the Museum of Contemporary Photography with the support of U.S. Equities Realty, invited Michael Wolf as an artist-in-residence. Bringing his unique perspective on changing urban environments to a city renowned for its architectural legacy, Wolf chose to photograph the central downtown area, focusing specifically on issues of voyeurism and the contemporary urban landscape in flux.This is Wolfs first body of work to address an American city. Whereas prior series have juxtaposed humanizing details within the surrounding geometry of the urban landscape, in "The Transparent City", his details are fragments of lifedigitally distorted and hyper-enlargedsnatched surreptitiously via telephoto lenses: Edward Hopper meets Blade Runner. The material resonates with all the formalism of the constructed, architectonic work for which Wolf is well-known, but also emphasizes the conceptual underpinnings of his ongoing engagement with the idea of how modern life unfolds within the framework of the ever-growing contemporary city. The thirty-nine cityscape photos in the book, when you first look at them, might seem sort of dull. Several show only the front of buildings at dusk and others, taken in the late afternoon darkness, show an office environment with people at their desks. Keep looking though and a whole kaleidoscope of shapes and pictures within pictures start to emerge. Wolf, by zooming into buildings and not showing the roof or the street, concentrates on lines of lit windows and the building structure to create a dazzling effect. It all seems visually obvious but I wonder if Chicago has the only core of contemporary office blocks where this type of photo could be taken? I recently reviewed 'New York vertigo' (ISBN 978 0810995116) by French photographer Michel Setboun which has some slightly similar night shots of Manhattan but lack the creative vision that Wolf has displayed in his amazing photos. Remarkable though the work is I was rather disappointed by some of the book's editorial judgment. There are twenty-three highly enlarged and therefore very pixilated photos of activity seen through the windows. They occupy twenty-four pages and to my mind contribute nothing to the overall feel of the building photos. The first twelve pages have seven of them virtually blank except for a few words in display type. The page numbers are laid sideways which means that a short black line has to be used to indicate a six from a nine, many pages have no numbers because the photos extend past the page margins (but don't bleed off the page) all this is just designer whimsy and is no help to the reader. I think it's unfortunate that the publishers have rather diluted the impact of Wolf's great photos with some amateurish editorial ideas. If you have ever been on a fairly high floor in a downtown high-rise office building, apartment/condo complex, or hotel, and looked out the window at night at the other buildings across the way, you will know first-hand what this book is all about. The only difference between you and German photographer Michael Wolf is that while you were in a nice warm room he was out on rooftops and parking lot top-levels freezing his butt off - he took most of the pictures in Nov-Dec in windy Chicago to get the early darkness. (You can actually see remnants of snow in one or two pictures.) The main images are all fundamentally architectural, taken with a camera with movements or with a lens with movements that give perfect precision to the vertical and horizontal lines. Some images are pure minimalist planes, some show interesting reflections off the glass, some show brightly lit interiors, and some - the most interesting - show people in those brightly lit interiors. If there is any question about the project, it is whether the artist was right to go for this mix or whether he should have concentrated on the last type - the ones with the people - and made a study of building-to-building voyeurism in the big city. I think the latter, but people's opinions will vary. Whichever, he does highlight the voyeuristic theme by including a sampling of highly magnified images of some of the people visible through the windows. I personally don't like this part of series. Having seen Charlie Kaufman's "Synecdoche, New York" I realize that the right way to present the views would have been to give people magnifying glasses and let them find them for themselves. (I am only half joking.) The series is filled with images that capture details of life in the urban sky. I won't try to list them, it's more fun to discover them for yourself. There are, however, two images that must not be missed. One, occurring around the middle of the book, has a wonderful touch - actually two - of self-referentiality. People familiar with photography should have no trouble spotting them. The other, occurring at the end of the book and I hope also the exhibition - in any case you should see it last - shows a view out of the other side of the building, the view not into the city but out of it. If you know Chicago you will instantly recognize it. It is a view of the real world. The book is large format (13.5 x 10.8 in = 34.3 x 27.4 cm) and the images are very sharp and clean. Many spread across two pages and are divided by the gutter, which can be troubling, but it seems a reasonable price to pay for maximum size. The book also contains a brief introduction by Nastasha Egan of the Museum of Contemporary Photography (MoCP) at Columbia College Chicago (co-publisher of the book along with Aperture) and a thoughtful and entertaining essay by Geoff Manau.…
