Krátky popis
For the past seven years, photographer and artist&,nbsp,Lena
Herzog&,nbsp,has followed the evolution of a new, kinetic
species. Intricate as insects, but with bursts of equine energy,
the ",Strandbeests", or ",beach creatures,", are the creation of
Dutch artistTheo Jansen, who has been working for nearly two
decades to develop a&,nbsp,new life-form that moves, and even
survives, on its own.Set to roam the beaches of Holland, the
Strandbeests pick up the wind in their gossamer wings
and&,nbsp,spring, as if by metamorphosis, into action. As if it
were blood, not the breeze, running through their delicate forms,
they quiver, cavort, and trot against the sun and sea, pausing to
change direction if they sense loose sand or water that might
destabilize their movement.Coinciding with a travelling exhibition,
Herzog's photographic tribute captures Jansen's menagerie in a
meditative black and white, showcasing Jansen'simaginative vision,
as well as the compelling&,nbsp,intersection of animate and
inanimate&,nbsp,in his creatures. The result is a work of art
in its own right and a mesmerizing encounter not only with a very
surrealist brand of marvelous, but also with&,nbsp,whole new
ideas of existence. The author and photographer:Born and raised in
Russia’s Urals,&,nbsp,Lena Herzog&,nbsp,studied languages
and literature at St. Petersburg University, before emigrating to
the United States in 1990 where she studied philosophy. She began
taking pictures in 1997, and has since authored the photography
books&,nbsp,Tauromaquia,&,nbsp,Flamenco,&,nbsp,Pilgrims,
and&,nbsp,Lost Souls. Her work has been published
in&,nbsp,The New York Times,&,nbsp,Harper’s
Magazine,&,nbsp,The New Yorker,&,nbsp,The Paris Review,
and&,nbsp,Vanity Fair&,nbsp,and exhibited in Europe and the
United States.The artist:Dutch visual artist&,nbsp,Theo
Jansen&,nbsp,studied science at the University of Delft. He
spent his early career painting, before deciding to strike out on a
new course by making a real flying saucer which flew over Delft in
1980. Since then he has been working on the creation of the
Strandbeest species. Jansen’s work has been featured in several
television programs, as well as in&,nbsp,The New
Yorker,&,nbsp,New Scientist, and&,nbsp,Wired.The
contributing author:Lawrence Weschler&,nbsp,is Director
Emeritus of the New York Institute for the Humanities at NYU. A
former staff writer at&,nbsp,The New Yorker, he is the author
of over 15 books, including the Pulitzer-nominated&,nbsp,Mr
Wilson's Cabinet of Wonderand&,nbsp,Everything That Rises: A
Book of Convergences, winner of the 2007 National Book Critics
Circle Award for Criticism. He is a contributing editor
at&,nbsp,Threepenny Review,&,nbsp,The&,nbsp,Virginia
Quarterly Review, and&,nbsp,McSweeney's.
