Summary:
This is the first comprehensive monograph on Balthasar Burkhard, the Swiss master of the sublime. A visual vocabulary of the world we live in, meditative and haunting, instilling peace and anxiety at the same time. This is a book about the beauty of nature - its force, silence, and eternal existence - and about cities - seen from above as they keep growing, threatening to suffocate us. Swiss photographer Balthasar Burkhard presents work from the last ten years, images from all over the world - from Japan to the USA, from South America to Africa and to the European Alps. The photographs are arranged in chapters that each focus on one aspect of the world - Desert, River, Skies, Cities, Landscapes. Together, they add up to a poetic atlas, a vision of the beauties and horrors of the world today. Intense black-and-white images that can only be created with a photo camera. A masterpiece of landscape and cityscape photography!
