- Summary:
- Paul Ott is one of the most prominent modern European architectural photographers. His documentations of contemporary architecture have been published in numerous international books and journals. Yet Ott's images always convey more than the pure physiognomy of the buildings he photographs. In free photo series, he explores the structures that influence how we perceive our surroundings at least as much as does the architects' skill: anonymous agricultural buildings, skyscrapers and their fates, and the dramatic backdrops provided by mega-cities like Sao Paolo. This book offers a representative cross-section of Paul Ott's photographic oeuvre and also makes readers aware that the shaping of our surroundings is to a great extent also based on "learned," mediated images of and in architecture. Four essays examine his work from the perspectives of art theory and architecture.
- paul Ott zählt zu den profiliertesten europäischen Architekturfotografen der Gegenwart. Seine Dokumentationen zeitgenössischer Architektur werden in zahlreichen internationalen Fachzeitschriften und Büchern veröffentlicht. Otts Fotos vermitteln jedoch stets mehr als die bloße Physiognomie von Gebäuden. In freien Fotoserien untersucht er Strukturen, die unsere Wahrnehmung der Umwelt mindestens so stark beeinflussen wie die Baukunst der Architekten: anonyme landwirtschaftliche Bauten, Hochhäuser und ihr Schicksal sowie die dramatische Kulisse von Großstädten wie Sao Paolo. Das Buch bietet einen repräsentativen Querschnitt durch Paul Otts fotografisches Oeuvre und macht bewusst, dass Umweltgestaltung zu einem guten Teil auch auf "gelernten" medialen Bildern über und mit Architektur beruht. Vier Essays beleuchten das Werk aus den Perspektiven der Kunsttheorie und der Architektur.
