Avec des photographies panoramiques noir et blanc, la photographe américaine saisit toute la complexité de la ville de Pékin. La beauté immuable des ruines et des sites historiques contraste avec les constructions ultra modernes de béton et d'acier.

Lois Conner’s work is included in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art, V&A in London and National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne. Geremie Barme is the author of several books on Chinese history.
Beijing is China's capital city and one of the most populous in the world. Its history dates back three millennia and as a result it is seen as a centre of culture and art. This book is a photographic juxtaposition of contemporary architecture in Beijing, including the National Stadium Bird's Nest by Herzog de Meuron and ruins from the Garden of Perfect Brightness.

Hardback. Etat : Very Good. In three decades of visits to China, celebrated photographer Lois Conner has witnessed firsthand the monumental physical transformation of the country. Nowhere is this change more dramatic than in the capital city of Beijing, the subject of Conner's remarkable new book Beijing: Contemporary and Imperial. Conner's breathtaking black-and-white panoramas reveal an ancient city in thrall to change, where the lingering splendor of a dynastic past is cast into shadow by rising concrete and steel. Juxtaposed against the ancient ruins from the Gardens of Perfect Brightness, the ultra modern Bird's Nest National Olympic Stadium embodies all the ambitions of a rapidly ascending China. And yet, amid all the bustle and spectacle, quietly contemplative images of city life emerge, as if rescued from another era. Rich in tone and flawless in detail, Conner's photographs capture all the complexities and contradictions of this fascinating modern metropolis. N° de réf. du vendeur 00106875935
