The book change
a cura di Stephen Ellcock
Images and symbols to inspire revelations and revolutions
Princeton Architectural Press 2021
Si può aprire a caso per trovare risposte, vie, ispirazioni, sorprese, come l’ I Ching, ma racconta qualcosa in più. Che nell’arte di tutti i tempi possiamo trovare tante soluzioni per cambiare; che nelle immagini, anche in una sola, anche in un solo frammento c’è la possibilità di uno sguardo nuovo; che con più attenzione, sostegno, partecipazione all’arte saremmo meno in difficoltà.
Stephen Ellcock, one of the world’s most beloved digital curators, presents a collection of radically beautiful and provocative images designed to inspire reflection, revelation, and transformation.
Stephen Ellcock pairs hundreds of images, icons, and symbols spanning three thousand years of artistic creation with quotes from activists and writers to provoke reflection, revelation, and transformation. This eye-opening compendium highlights the environmental challenges facing our planet and the social injustice rampant in our societies, while offering hope that a better world is within our grasp. The artwork includes archival images from prominent and obscure artists, Renaissance paintings, counter-cultural iconography, documentary photography, and much more. Readers will walk away with new personal revelations that will motivate them to create change in the world.
