Henry Wessel: Waikiki Hardcover - 2011

by Henry Wessel (Photographer)


From the publisher

Waikiki, one of Honolulu's most famous neighborhoods, had already become a crowded tourist destination when Henry Wessel photographed there in the late 1970s and early 80s. This book contains Wessel's edit of these pictures and is a record of American leisure at this time--of surf, sand and inexhaustible pleasure-seekers. Yet Wessel equally explores the contradictions of Waikiki--concrete hotels invading pristine beaches, culture encroaching on nature. Despite all the fun in the sun, Wessel's subjects are often distanced and dissatisfied, suggesting an underlying unease. Born in New Jersey in 1942, Henry Wessel has been awarded two Guggenheim fellowships and three fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts. His work is held in the permanent collections of major American, European and Asian museums. Wessel has exhibition extensively, including solo exhibitions at The Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles.

Description:
Gottingen: Steidl, , 2011. Rilegato tela, sovracoperta (cloth, dust jacket). Perfetto (Mint). Un testo di Corey Keller. Fotografie in bianco e nero di Henry Wessel. 4to (cm 29,5x29,5). pp. 62. Perfetto (Mint). Prima edizione (First Edition). Waikiki, uno dei quartieri più famosi di Honolulu, era già diventato un'affollata destinazione turistica quando Wessel la fotografò alla fine degli anni settanta e all'inizio degli anni ottanta. Questo libro contiene il montaggio di Wessel di queste immagini ed è una registrazione del tempo libero degli americani in quel periodo. Ma Wessel esplora anche le contraddizioni di Waikiki - hotel di cemento che invadono spiagge incontaminate, la cultura che invade la natura. Nonostante tutto il divertimento al sole, i soggetti di Wessel sono spesso distanti e insoddisfatti, suggerendo un disagio di fondo.
