Jan Kempenaers - Picturesque - ROMA 2012
Add to his previous, Spomenik, published in 2010, this book present the results of Kempenaers' practice based research on 'contemporary picturesque'. Kempenaers' photographs of landscapes altered by man forestall the nostalgia that has, over time, become typical for the picturesque. They force the viewer to remain in the present and think about its conditions and its future, and about the forces threatening our environment.
