Amsterdam, Netherlands: Alex Daniels/Reflex Editions Amsterdam, 2012. First Edition. First Printing.. Hardcover. Fine/No Dust Jacket, As Issued.. Amsterdam, Netherlands: Alex Daniels/Reflex Editions Amsterdam, 2012. Hardcover. Fine/None, As Issued. First Edition/First Printing. 66 pages. Exhibition Catalog. One of the most beautiful and important art photography books of our time. The first and only edition. Published in a small and limited print run as a hardcover original only. None of the copies was widely distributed even in The Netherlands. The First Edition is now rare. A brilliant production by Chen Nong and Alex Daniels: Oversize-volume format. Pictorial hard boards with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Photographs by Chen Nong. Essay by Robert Simons. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper in Amsterdam to the highest standards. The reproduction quality is exemplary in every respect. Without DJ, as issued. Presents "Chen Nong: Climbing To The Moon". The Chinese artist/photographer's masterpiece, one of the most beautiful photographic sequences ever created in our time. As a one-of-a-kind photographer, Chen Nong works more like a visionary film director/auteur of epic films. As each of the staged scenes in this magnificent volume shows, his "cinematic" style is breathtaking and powerful: Using one of the earliest tripod cameras still working, he recreates epochal events in Chinese history (as well as his own personal experiences) by casting amateur models (in the case of key sequences, hundreds of them) and dressing them up in historically accurate period costume or their equivalent in hand-made origami. He shoots each scene in black-and-white, and then injects his unique style by hand-painting each of the prints. You will not think of the hand-painted photograph in the same way again once you see what Chen Nong has done with it: He has transformed an old and now rarely-practiced photographic art into great art that resonates across space and time. The resulting images have the authenticity, drama, and intensity now missing in most contemporary films. One needs to be reminded that this is the photograph, a two-dimensional still medium, through which he manages to convey the action, movement, and violence of History itself. "Impresses most in relation to how it melds different ideas and thematic levels in a single piece. An army of terracotta-like soldiers is reminiscent of the terracotta army that was unearthed in China. Here, however, Chen himself created paper costumes for the men. The contrast of heavy terracotta and lightweight paper, bathed in dramatic lighting, reveals these figures as an army of morality. Invites you to sit down, enter in, and wander around his modern fantasy of Chinese history and reality" (Publisher's blurb). An absolute "must-have" title for Chen Nong collectors. This title is a contemporary art photography classic. As far as we know, this is the only copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing available online and despite its imperfection (slight crimping on bottom board corners, but it's there) is still in fine condition overall: Every internal page is clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: None of the copies was widely distributed even in The Netherlands. Issued without a DJ. A rare copy thus. Lavishly illustrated with color plates. One of the most brilliant artist/photographers of our time. A fine collectible copy. .

One of the most important photography books of our time. The first and only edition. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. A brilliant production by Julian Rosefeldt: Oversize-volume format. Pictorial hard boards with titles on cover and spine, as issued. Photographs by Julian Rosefeldt. Essays by various contributors. Printed on thick coated stock paper in Germany to the highest standards. In bright red wraparound bellyband DJ with white titles on the cover, as issued. Published on the occasion of the installation/exhibition of the same name that was shown in various venues in the United Kingdom in 2002. Presents Julian Rosefeldt's "Asylum". A moving masterpiece. "Indian flower sellers, Turkish trash collectors, Chinese cooks, and prostitutes in Thailand. Munich-born artist/photographer Julian Rosefeldt confronts the viewers with stereotypical views of foreigners and ethnic minorities. In his seductively opulent tableaux-vivants, he exaggerates and parodies popular conceptions about roles and professions while embedding his protagonists in strangely surreal scenes and ritual contexts. This publication features photographs taken during the shooting of the video, film stills from Rosefeldt's nine 'Asylum' films, essays, and an Interview with the artist" (Publisher's blurb) . Surely Rosefeldt is keenly aware of the harrowing suffering that photographers like Sebastiao Salgado and Fazal Sheikh have made it their life-work to commit for posterity. Not a single photograph in his collection, most of which are presented as doublespreads, shows "suffering". In fact, they show the refugees as normal and happy people: Praying, dancing, singing, hustling, having parties, vacationing, and yes, working very hard yet apparently enjoying it. Rosefeldt's point is simple and complex at the same time: There is no question that refugees are stateless, displaced peoples, with none of the legal rights that citizens have and take for granted. Still, after the initial trauma and shock, they adapt to their new, strange, often hostile environments, and get on with their lives. What mystifies and confuses their host-nations is precisely their resilience: Refugees are hopeful survivors, not hopeless dependents. They remind us that you cannot survive if all you try to do is survive. The only way every human being can survive is to live, and this is one of the reasons citizens develop ambivalent if not downright hostile attitudes about them. Still, as the great American novelist John Irving once suggested, "we are all refugees, we are all terminal cases". Rosefeldt shows that "home" is the fantasy and exile the real condition of humanity. An absolute "must-have" title for Julian Rosefeldt collectors. This copy is very boldly and beautifully signed in black pen-marker on the bellyband DJ itself by Julian Rosefeldt. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is now collectible. As far as we know, this is the only such signed copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A rare signed copy thus. One of the finest artist/photographers of our time. A fine copy. . ISBN 3775715126., Hatje Cantz Publishers, 2002, 5<
