{"product_id":"66427-david-stephenson","title":"David Stephenson","description":"David Stephenson’s large-format photographs of metropolises at night in America, Australia, and Asia, with their long exposure times, capture globalized urban sprawl, dazzling energy consumption, and the resulting light pollution that settles over cities like a dense fog. The images of these \"cities of light\" reveal the ambivalence of our industrial societies: the city as a built expression of human endeavor and technological achievements – as the engine of modernity – seems to be running empty as the shadows of an impending environmental catastrophe lengthen. \u003cbr\u003eStephenson's photos are contextualized by an essay from photo historian Keith F. Davis, who illuminates the significance of the city as a key theme in photography, from the modern to the postmodern city as a node where erratic currents of energy and information converge.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDAVID STEPHENSON (*1955, Washington D.C.) has lived in Australia since 1982, where he teaches at the University of Tasmania Art School. His fascination with the vastness and sublimity of nature has led him on extensive photographic journeys to Europe, the Himalayas, and the Arctic and Antarctic. His photographs and video works have been exhibited in galleries around the world.","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49755249803528,"sku":"9783775756785","price":44.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775756785_80f5a129-cdac-4290-a342-8a760716e48d.jpg?v=1744054201","url":"https:\/\/hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/66427-david-stephenson","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
