The focus of the book ‘Constructing Worlds. Photography and Architecture in the Modern Age‘ is the relationship between architecture and photography. The book features the work of eighteen influential artists, from the 1930s to the present day. Architecture has long been a subject matter for photographers, who utilize the medium not just to document the built world, but also to reveal wider truths about society.
This book ‘Constructing Worlds. Photography and Architecture in the Modern Age’ features chapters devoted to various artists, among them, Berenice Abbott, Walker Evans, Ed Ruscha, Bernd and Hilla Becher, Andreas Gursky and Iwan Baan, and includes 220 color and duotone images. Each chapter opens with a text introducing the artists’ work, followed by reproductions of their photographs.
Far-reaching and penetrating, this volume reflects on the ongoing dialogue between photography and architecture.
