Synopsis

1998. Unpag. Gebundene Ausgabe mit Schutzumschlag. Umschlag leicht berieben, sonst gutes Exemplar. - One of the key elements in Hibiki Kobayashi`s photography is the way it makes you stop and think about the fairness with which it was undertaken: the openness, the innocence, the calm and the patience, the understanding of others ... the whole business of welcoming diversity as opposed to what`s really happening down here on earth. Territorialism, tribalism, xenophobia, selfish greed, pecking-order pride in the rat race, franchise-mania, artificiality-distance from nature-eliminating diversity wherever we trample. Bhopal, Love Canal, Chernobyl and beyond .. .Hey, wait a minute- if we`re so great (we know our numbers are great), why are we enemies of nature, enemies of every continental land mass and even of ourselves? And slowly, slowly as we grow, adding a million souls to the earth every few days, we expertly adapt to the damage we cause. In the confusion of stressful changes, behavior declines. Political leaders lie, traditions are abandoned, authenticity fades away. Innocent people are caught in a world at war, over-populated, over-stressed refugees. Time out. Full stop. Hibiki Kobayashi is up-to-date with these looming dilemmas. He quietly presents a great variety of innocent looking, very different peoples, indigenous, authentic in nature, down to earth, part of natural history and our one and only, fast evolving, exploding, shrinking globe.
