| Publisher Description: This slipcased postcard volume consists of 12 color postcards of images from Wim Wenders' book of photographs, Places, Strange and Quiet, published by Hatje Cantz in 2011. That book brought together a fascinating series of Wenders' large-scale photographs taken between 1983 and 2011: iconic images of the exteriors of buildings and panoramic depictions of towns and landscapes. Wenders (born 1945) is a German author, film director, photographer, playwright and producer, and one of the most successful contemporary filmmakers around. "When you travel a lot," he says, "and when you love to just wander around and get lost, you can end up in the strangest spots ... it must be some sort of built-in radar that often directs me to places that are strangely quiet, or quietly strange." This postcard book presents a small selection from across the range of Wenders' photographic oeuvre. |
