{"product_id":"17714-stefano-cerio","title":"Stefano Cerio","description":"Stefano Cerio's particular focus is on alternative worlds: For his multifaceted series, he photographs leisure paradises – ski resorts, cruise ship giants, water parks, and fun parks. Even Italian street altars are, for him, part of these colorful illusionary worlds that humans construct to escape everyday life. However, Cerio (born 1962) unmasks in his stark images, which portray rides and water parks exclusively out of season and therefore without visitors, the ruptures, the bleakness, and the senselessness that emerge behind the cheerful facades. For Chinese Fun, the photographer visited a whole series of amusement parks, water parks, and sports fields in Beijing, Shanghai, Qingdao, and Hong Kong. His centrally arranged compositions are created with a large-format camera and document exquisitely absurd arrangements, from a house-sized concrete fruit basket to the winding tracks of a giant roller coaster in the courtyard of an office complex.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eExhibition: Fondazione VOLUME!, Rome 23.9.–3.11.2015","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Book (978-3-7757-3969-6)","offer_id":45171472007432,"sku":"9783775739696","price":15.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775739696_d3bae4d5-b38c-4438-8c0f-2ee542933a4d.jpg?v=1744136756","url":"https:\/\/hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/17714-stefano-cerio","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
