Présentation de l'éditeur :
Walter Niedermayr (*1952 inBolzano, Italy) is one of the great
European photographic artists of our time. His sensitive visual
language—which, unfortunately, has been copied by countless other
photographers in recent years—is marked by its subtle blend of colors.
Niedermayr become familiar to a larger public through his series on
Alpine landscapes, architecture, and infrastructures.
For this
project, he traveled between 2005 and 2008 to Teheran, Isfahan, Yazd,
Shiraz, and other smaller cities and historical sites in Iran. His
excursions led to the creation of a new group of works in which he
examines various aspects of contemporary Iranian architecture in their
cultural and historical context. Like Niedermayr’s previous books, this
project, which the artist developed in close collaboration with the
graphic designers and the publisher, will certainly prove to be a
highlight of the art of photo books.
