Résumé:
The Emosson region in the Swiss canton of Valais boasts a breathtaking Alpine landscape punctuated by a series of monumental feats in hydroelectric engineering, which include three dams and a power plant hidden in a cavern 600 meters below ground. In "Hydroelectric sublime", the photographers Beatrice Gorelli (born 1996) and Keiichi Kitayama (born 1987) set out to capture the area’s awe-inspiring terrain, and find themselves on a three-year odyssey uncovering the intricate bond between humans, energy and water. Across mountains, seasons and generations, the book peels back the layers of a landscape that exemplifies the coming together of nature and the man-made so sublimely or severely, depending on one’s point of view.

Résumé:
Imagine a power plant that is also the perfect place to have a picnic. On the foreshore of St. Kilda, Australia rises just such a structure—one that merges renewable energy production with leisure, recreation, and education. This volume imagines a world where the infrastructures that power our cities are designed to be reflections of culture, where public parks provide clean electricity to the city grid, and where the art that brings depth and vibrancy to our lives also measurably responds to the challenges of climate change. ''Energy Overlays'' provides a glimpse into a post-carbon future where energy infrastructure is seamlessly woven into the fabric of our cities as works of public art.

Résumé:
Ai Weiwei, born in the Socialist People's Republic of China, is one of the most important artists of the present global art scene. For his provocative political opinion he had been taken under house detention - he plant a celebration for the official governmental demolition of his Studio. His creations are based on the idea to provoke discussions about their content. For example, he spread about 150 tons of porcelain sunflower seeds on the floor of the Tate Modern in London to remind especially young Chinese people of propagandistic pictures which show Mao Tse-tung in the middle of sunshine and sunflower seeds. This book embraces some of the astonishing works of the exceptional artist.
