Janet Bookman Baker is trying to come to terms with her father's death and a weekend long ago when he disappeared without a word. She sits alone at night watching the lights in her neighbour s garden, imagining his hands on her skin and listening to a voice on the radio. Although she has never met the owner of the voice, in Janet's mind, Anna becomes her closest friend . . . Unaware of Janet's existence, Anna Taylor is facing a crisis of her own. When someone starts leaving her messages, she becomes convinced the person behind them holds the key to her past as well as her future. A mysterious 19th century photograph seems to link the two women, but as they discover the ties that bind them, they are forced to question all they know, and to ask themselves whether they are prepared to risk everything to be free.

Paperback. Etat : Fair. Entropy, from the Greek 'entrope', the action of transforming itself at random. For the first monograph in English of the Portuguese artist, Alexander Farto - aka Vhils - it is an emblematic title indeed. The artist's aim, in carving portraits of anonymous persons on the degraded walls of our modern cities, is not only to give a second life to these abandoned mural supports but also to bring to light ordinary citizens roughly treated by a society progressing at a fast speed and leaving them out. Hence, in giving visibility to things and beings whose elimination is programmed, Vhils explored a new creative path. Giving up the graffiti, he doesn't use the wall as the simple support of his art expression anymore but reaches for the very essence of it. His tools are now the chisel, the jackhammer, even some explosive devices, but no longer the aerosol, to successively reveal the various strata hidden under the surface of the wall and generating human figures hollowed or in relief. But Vhils also works indoors using metal, wood, polystyrene or cork, testing out a new technique each time, like laser scraping the 'crust' of layered advertising posters for the purpose of creating strange palimpsests from which urban shapes and human faces appear here again. All in all, Vhils's work is here to make visible the obvious and less obvious links existing between a city and its inhabitants, and to express the need of preserving, in 'the sound and fury', what makes us human beings. Contents: Vhils; Billboards; Walls; Metal; Wood; Paper & Screen Prints; Styrofoam; Cork; Explosives; Othermedia; City Projects; Community Projects. N° de réf. du vendeur CIN0956037038A
