In his previous well-received volumes of photographs, Hugo offers unflinching yet striking portraits of humans, animals, societies, and landscapes that shock and disturb, but also demand our attention. In Permanent Error, he documents a rubbish dump in Ghana that has become the repository for discarded computers from around the world. These haunting images document the true cost of a misguided policy - the shipping of millions of tons of obsolete computers to developing countries. The computers are burned to extract valuable metals, effectively turning the site into a toxic wasteland that contaminates air, soil, and groundwater for miles around. These amazing portraits tell a story of a marginal community overwhelmed by poverty, but where human strength and resilience shine through the inhuman conditions Hugo lays bare.

The reproduction quality is outstanding in every respect. Without DJ, as issued. Presents Pieter Hugo's "Permanent Error: Photographs". Magnificent, incredibly moving individual portraits of the terrible suffering and degradation in our Modern Age. Whom Pieter Hugo respectfully - but NOT fake "nobly" or sentimentally - photographs as humanity itself incarnate: Somehow surviving and somehow thriving amid utter desperation. "Offers unflinching yet striking portraits of humans, animals, societies, and landscapes that shock and disturb. Documents a garbage dump in Ghana that has become the repository for discarded computers from around the world. These haunting images document the true cost of a misguided policy: The shipping of millions of tons of obsolete computers to developing countries. The computers are then burned to extract valuable metals, effectively turning the site into a toxic wasteland that contaminates air, soil, and water for miles around. The story of a marginal community overwhelmed by poverty, but where human strength and resilience shine through the inhumane conditions that Pieter Hugo lays bare" (Publisher's blurb). An absolute "must-have" title for Pieter Hugo collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed and dated (in the year of publication) in black ink-pen on the title page by the photographer: "Pieter Hugo 2011". It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a great photography book. As far as we know, this is the only such signed and publication-year dated 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. 60 color plates. "Permanent Error" was selected by The New York Times as one of The Best Photography Books of our second decade. One of the most brilliant photographers of our time. A fine collectible copy. ISBN 3791345206. Signed by Author. N° de réf. du vendeur 22759
