About This Item
London and New York: Verso, 2002. Cloth, 484 pages, 16 pages of plates, illustrations (some colour); 23 cm. Based in part on lectures and seminars presented 1991-1999. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Dust jacket protected in a mylar cover. OVERSIZE! No priority/international, except by special arrangement. Profusely illustrated. "Traversing a varied and enchanting landscape with forays into the fields of geography, art, architecture, design, cartography and film, Giuliana Bruno's Atlas of Emotion, winner of the 2004 Kraszna-Krausz award for "the world's best book on the moving image", is a highly original endeavor to map a cultural history of spatio-visual arts. In an evocative montage of words and pictures she emphasizes that 'sight' and 'site' but also 'motion' and 'emotion' are irrevocably connected. In so doing, she touches on the art of Gerhard Richter and Annette Messagem: the film-making of Peter Greenaway and Michaelangelo Antonioni; the origins of the movie palace and its precursors, and on her own journeys to her native Naples. Visually luscious and daring in conception, Bruno opens new vistas and understandings at every turn." - Publisher.. 1st. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 8vo. Collectible.
