From the rear cover: "Although the seemingly apocalyptic scale of the World Trade Center disaster continues to haunt people across the globe, it is only one of the most recent example of a city tragically wounded. Cities are, in fact, perpetually caught up in cycles of degeneration and renewal. As with the WTC, from time to time these cycles are severely ruptured by a sudden, unpredictable event. In the wake of recent terrorist activities, this timely book explores how urban populations are affected by 'wounds' inflicted through violence, civil wars, overbuilding, drug trafficking, and the collapse of infrastructures, as well as 'natural' disasters such as earthquakes. Mexico City, New York, Beirut, Belfast, Bangkok and Baghdad are just a few examples of cities riddled with problems that undermine, on a daily basis, the quality of urban life. What does it mean for urban dwellers when the infrastructure of a city collapses -- transport, communication grids, heat, light, roads, water, and sanitation? What are the effects of foreign investment and huge construction projects on urban populations and how does this change the 'look' and character of a city? How does drug trafficking intersect with class, race, and gender, and what impact does it have on vulnerable urban communities? How do political corruption and mafia networks distort the built environment? Drawing on in-depth case studies from across the globe, this book answers these intriguing questions through its rigorous consideration of changing global and national contexts, social movements, and corrosive urban events. Adopting a 'grass roots up' approach, it places emphasis on people's experiences of uneven development and inequality, their engagement with memory in the face of continual change, and the relevance of political activism to bettering their lives. It is especially attentive to the historical interaction of particular cities with wider political and economic forces, as these interactions have shaped local governance over time. Imagining each city as a 'body politic,' the authors consider its capacity both to mediate local conflict and to broach the healing of wounds.". First Edition. Softcover.

hardcover. Etat : As New. Prima edizione (First Edition). Volume pubblicato in occasione della mostra itinerante tenutasi presso: Washington D.C 2008/2009 e San Francisco, 2009. Fotografie in bianco e nero (di cui alcune su tavole ripiegate) e testo di Leo Rubinfien . Cm 25,5x16,5. pp. 298. . Perfetto (Mint). . Prima edizione (First Edition). . Una settimana prima dell'11 settembre 2001, Leo Rubinfien, sua moglie e i suoi figli piccoli si trasferirono in un nuovo appartamento accanto al World Trade Center di New York. Hanno assistito da vicino alla violenza di quel giorno, sono fuggiti con gli sfollati e sono poi tornati in una casa danneggiata e in una città le cui ferite sono rimaste aperte per anni. La distruzione fisica di Manhattan era sotto gli occhi di tutti, ma Rubinfien capì subito che la "ferita mentale" nascosta era quella più profonda e nel 2002 iniziò a fotografare in città di tutto il mondo che avevano sofferto gravemente per attacchi terroristici. Nell'arco di cinque anni ha visitato Londra, Nairobi, Kuta Beach, Mosca, Buenos Aires, Istanbul e Colombo, osservando intimamente la gente comune di quelle città e scrutando i loro volti per vedere come l'ansia dell'era del terrore avesse toccato e modellato i loro mondi. Wounded Cities combina 60 fotografie intensamente evocative tratte da questo progetto con un libro di memorie in cui Rubinfien esplora l'angoscia e le passioni politiche dell'11 settembre. Book. …

Rilegato. Etat : molto buono. Etat de la jaquette : ottimo. prima edizione. Leo Rubinfien | Wounded Cities Steidl, Göttingen, 2008 Testo e fotografie in bianco e nero (alcune su tavole ripiegate) di Leo Rubinfien Progetto grafico di Leo Rubinfien, Min Jung Kwak, Joby Ellis Lingua inglese Rilegato con sovraccoperta, cm. 16,5 x 25,5, pagine 298 Volume published on the occasion of the traveling exhibition held in Washington, D.C., 2008/2009, and San Francisco, 2009. Wounded Cities is acclaimed photographer Leo Rubinfien's exploration of the "mental wound" that was left by the terror attacks in New York in 2001, and in cities around the world in the years before and after. One week before September 11th, Rubinfien, his wife and small children moved into a new apartment two blocks from the World Trade Center. They experienced the violence up close and fled through the smoke and dust with thousands of others. Though the physical scars of the attacks were obvious, he believed that the emotional effect was more profound, and a year later he began working in cities that had been hit in similar ways, including London, Nairobi, Moscow, Buenos Aires, Istanbul, Karachi and Tokyo. Intimate, deeply felt and beautifully crafted, the resulting portraits are some of the most powerful of recent years. Wounded Cities the book, published by Steidl, combines sixty intensely evocative photographs from this project with a memoir in which Rubinfien poignantly explores the anguish and the political passions of September 11th and the years after. Meanwhile, its unusual page design weaves word and image into one of the most original hybrid books photography has produced. This moving volume will prove to be one of the fundamental works of art to emerge from the attacks of 2001.…
