||||||||||||||||||||
|
Through narrative prose and 52 images Markus Schmölz tells the tale of a five-day journey through the fabled South Asian
Kingdom of Ruhundu which he undertook in order to find an elephant he could caress. On his way he will live through numerous myths from Ruhundu's rich treasure of legends and realize that reality is not a solid body, but
consists of many, partly contradicting, threads and layers. Including Audio CD with orginal atmospheric sounds from Ruhundu |

Sissa Marquardt und Markus Schmölz wurden beide in München geboren. In ihrer Arbeit als Fotokünstler sind sie stark beeinflußt von den Strömungen der sechziger Jahre, Pop Art, Op Art aber auch von allen Formen von Street Art. Sie kamen in den späten achziger Jahren das erste Mal nach New York und seitdem jährlich und immer länger, und teilen heute ihre Zeit zwischen München, Berlin und New York. Die Arbeiten aus diesem Buch werden 2009 in der Gallery onetwentyeight in New York gezeigt. Das vorliegende Buch ist ihr sechster Bildband. |

This photo book finds its place in the vicinity of architecture, urbanism and fusion street art, documenting the vanishing and reinventing of a metropolis. The photographs were taken during endless strolls in the last 20 years, from the end of downtown jungle years to the present day. This resulted in a highly complex visual puzzle made of associations and images of not only culturally definded and seemingly familiar spaces but also, and not least of all, of no-lands, fringe and in-between areas. This unique view on New York City describes feelings as much as objects, far beyond the ubiquitous clichés of central Manhattan. 350 colour photographs, 204 pages, 8.26”x5.82”, lined hardcover, with an essay by Arthur Nersesian, ISBN 9783-930677-20-7, #2037, EUR 29.90 |

“Great! Like in the movie classics: the myth New York, somehow familiar, yet totally new. And a metapher for human life.” Jürgen Sander,
chief editor Büchergilde Magazine, Frankfurt. |

“None of these rooms are virtual. In them I have slept, eaten, drunk, loved, hated, waited and worked. I was senselessly happy and groundlessly unhappy,
was recovering from diseases and letting psychoses run free. I have killed time and roaches, taken drugs and written letters, I have been roused by flies and overcome by homesickness.” Markus Schmölz on his book HOTEL ROOMS. |
