The explosive growth in photography book publishing has presented photo-eye with an interesting challenge along with what we think is an exciting opportunity.
How can we continue to offer an ever-increasing inventory of photography books, keep those books continuously in stock and compete with the online deep discounters on price and shipping? The answer is that we can shift much our fullfillment to the web's most efficient book operation, Amazon.com.
Now we are happy to offer you Amazon's discounts on books which are almost always in stock from either Amazon directly or Amazon Marketplace. We can also provide you with the same shipping options that Amazon provides, including on qualified orders, free shipping.
It's important to understand that you will still be supporting photo-eye if you order from Amazon or Amazon Marketplace through photoeye.com. We make it easy for you to do this by providing a dual shopping cart system with separate checkouts.
However, you may still opt to purchase a particular title from photo-eye directly even though the same book is available through Amazon at a less expensive price.
Book publishing is not a perfect industry. Though all books are imperfect in some subtle way, we want to be as accurate as possible on our website if we know that there is a problem with a particular book. Imperfections range from a rubbed dustjacket, a small tear in the dustjacket, or a corner of the book being bumped. No fundamental flaw should be part of an imperfect book's condition. E-mail us our call 505.988.5152 should you have questions prior to ordering a particular imperfect book.
Place your order now and we'll send you the item when it arrives.
You will not be charged until your order ships.
An additional change will be added to the standard handling charge for this item as it is a foreign publication and shipping expenses from foreign countries is extremely expensive or it requires a larger, more expensive box or it requires extra care in handling. Thank you for understanding!
Selected as Book of the Week by Amanda Lo
“These photographs were taken during the years between 1998 and 2008 using six cameras made by four different manufacturers and films in four different formats. “Zokei” (created landscape), the title of this book, is derived from “paysagement”, a notion presented by a French geographer in his examination of the cityscapes of Tokyo and other megalopolises developing around the world since modern times. The current situation in which there is no model for what “paysagement” should aim at seems suitable to our time at a turning point of entire civilization, not to mention technology.” — Seiji Kurata
Seiji Kurata's Toshi no Zokei marks the fourth installment in the photographic series published by Super Labo. Titled Super labo 32, the series of photobooks so far includes the published works of Masahisa Fukuse Slaughter, Daido Moriyama Fukei and Keizo Kitajima's CAMP 1979. Found within Toshi no Zokei is a collection of Kurata's most recent works which presents a selection of photographs taken over a 10 year period. Documenting the urban landscapes of Tokyo, Toshi no Zokei is an examination of a megalopolis and exploration into the growing and shifting geography of the city space. Within, concrete structures dominate the landscape, construction sites lay open and bare exposing the bodies of burgeoning highways which swell and wind its way through the landscape. Here Kurata attempts to unify both the subject and photographer, assimilating himself with both machine and landscape into a body of work which examines both 'mimicry' and 'imitation'.
