Maggiori informazioni sul libro
The challenge in creating this concise publication was determining what to add to the extensive body of work on Robert Adams. This booklet features a carefully curated selection of rare street photographs taken by Adams in the 1970s, capturing urban and suburban Americans near Denver, Colorado. Witnessing smoke rising from a nearby nuclear weapons plant instilled a sense of fateful helplessness in Adams, prompting him to depict his fellow citizens in their daily routines as a metaphor for the value of life amidst existential threats. Born in 1937, Adams began his photography career in the mid-1960s and is a key figure in the New Topographics movement. He has published over forty books, primarily focusing on the American landscape, and continues to live and work in northwest Oregon. This publication, developed in collaboration with the Fondation A Stichting in Brussels, aims to showcase these unique street photographs while exploring profound themes of life and vulnerability in the face of potential catastrophe.
