Lingg, Christopher

Shut Down: Industrial Ruins in the East [SIGNED LTD ED with Slipcase]

Edition Aufbruch. First Edition. Hardcover. Edition Aufbruch, 2007. Hardcover screw-bound with metal covers (each copy is unique, being bound in multi-coated rusty meltal plates) housed in printed cardboard slipcase. 161 pages with 104 color photographic images throughout. In a total of fourteen countries Christoph Lingg tracked down numerous industrial ruins: buildings from the textile, chemical, oil and heavy industries; processing plants for sugar and fish; brickyards and breweries – witnesses of times past that have been left to decay. In these photographs he has captured the melancholy of a bygone era. The pictures reflect not only economic developments and the way people related to work and the environment, but also the identity of entire countries and regions. Three authors have approached this subject in completely different ways, guiding the reader through the industrial culture of the east: Susanne Schaber, Richard Swartz and Serhij Zhadan. BOOK CONDITION: Fine; a solid, tight, clean copy in a Fine lightly rubbed slipcase. SIGNED. Fine. Item #11169
