Kirk Pedersen Urban Asia - Deluxe Edition with Signed Photo Author:David Pagel, Jeff Brouws KIRK PEDERSEN: URBAN ASIA (DELUXE EDITION) The Special Edition includes a signed photo in a clamshell box - signed and numbered edition of 100 with four different photos available (edition 25), (40 are reserved for the artist). The book is comprised of 85 large format reproductions with images from Bangkok, Phnom Penh, Taipei, Hong Kong, Singapo... more »re, Kuala Lumpur, Tokyo and several cities in China. It is not a travel book and is unlike any other book on the cities of Asia. Jeff Brouw's writes in the introduction, no other artist-photographer is doing exactly what he is doing. With this fluid approach, traveling from city to city with no grand theme in mind, his work is distinctly different from his contemporaries. Michael Wolf shoots exclusively in Hong Kong and China; Edward Burtynsky's extensive coverage of the Three Gorges Dam Project and other industrial sites has happened often within the territorial limits of China; and Sze Tsung Leong history images - scenes of rampant development and architectural spectacle - are confined to Shanghai. While they all might share continents and countries they don't share viewpoints. Pedersen's eclectic stance creates a different photographic yield - he reclaims the commonplace and the fragmentary in these spaces/places... Hardcover, cloth with jacket, 160 pages, 12 x 12 inches, Japanese matt paper with spot vanished images. Printed in Hong Kong by Hing Yip Printing Company.« less
