About the Author:
Armin Linke was born in 1966. He lives and works in Milan. His work was has been presented at the Venice Biennale and Documenta. Linke also works as a fashion photographer contributing to magazines such as Vogue and his industrial photographs are included in kARTell (Skira, 2003).
From Publishers Weekly:
The hyperreality of globalism has been heightened by photographers like Jeff Wall and Andreas Gursky, who manipulate their images; Milanese photographer Linke manages to let his eerily huge scales and odd mix of built and "natural" transnational spaces speak for themselves. These 180 beautifully printed images depict scenes all over the world, from the Museum of the Unknown Soldier in Baghdad to the "Water Shop" in Nukus, Uzbekistan; a computer shop in Lagos, Nigeria; the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas; and a Genoa barricaded for the G8 summit. As Linke notes in an included interview, the photos mark the point where "the boundary between fiction and non-fiction blurs or becomes invisible."

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The work of Armin Linke is one of the most committed and interesting attempts to represent, on a global scale, images of the transformations taking place in the world today. An emerging artist on the international scene, over the last decade Linke has worked on the project 4flights, which is a 360-degree interpretation of the profound metamorphoses that urban and natural landscapes have undergone due to current political changes and modern man-made constructions. For this project Linke has produced thousands of images, with this volume presenting the first significant selection of 200 photographs. Organized as both an atlas and an impossible archive, Transient is a courageous undertaking which sheds new light - from the South Pole to Las Vegas, from Lagos to the ex-Soviet Union - on the transformations taking place in today's landscape and on man's place in this new world. The book is designed by Cornell Windly (another emerging figure in graphics and contemporary art) and includes text and dialogues by Hans Ulrich Obrist, Stefano Boeri, Stalker, Amedeo Martegani and Luca Molinari. Photographer Linke presents 200 of his color photographs taken all over the world and thematically illustrating globalization. The photographs individually vary widely in terms of subject matter and even composition, including enigmatic pictures of smoke rising from the "Ground Zero" of September 1 Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
