Inside is a motor that turns the house 360 degrees on its own axis: Villa Girasole, constructed in 1935 by Angelo Invernizzi, follows the path of the sun and the views into the landscape. Il Girasole shows an entire day’s course. During this time, the film captures the villa’s architecture and atmosphere, its spaces and furnishings, thus becoming a space of imagination of life back then; and the building, a resonating body of the era’s eccentric ideas.

In this issue, the work of American furniture designer Jonathan Muecke is juxtaposed with the architectural photography of Dutchman Bas Princen. The Cranbrook educated Muecke creates boldly imaginative artifacts such as his series of carbon fiber chairs that probe the realms of our perception and make us more aware of its mechanisms. Princen, on the other hand, frames built and un-built landscapes where typologies blur between office park and science fiction monolith, for example to dramatic effect. Both create visual propositions that make room

This groundbreaking book is the first to look at the site’s enduring status as inspiration for artists throughout the ages, from its inception as an elite seaside resort in the mid-19th century, to its evolution into an entertainment mecca for the masses, with the eventual closing of its iconic amusement park, Astroland, in 2008 after decades of urban decline. How artists chose to portray Coney Island between 1861 and 2008—in tableaux of wonder and menace, hope and despair, dreams and nightmares—mirrored the aspirations and disappointments of the era.
