Details

"Floating food" by Ulrike Ottinger is a book focused on Photography Basics. Best for readers interested in this subject.

Here Ulrike Ottinger creates for the first time a collage from four decades of her artistic production: “For humanity, water and food are elementary in nature. Where then to begin to grasp these things that meander into every realm of our physical and spiritual life? Appropriating, as it were flowing into things, their nature, their most essential conditions, this has always been my artistic principle.” The arc runs from the ancient world to the present day, by water routes and through fictive and real worlds. The images and texts--quotations from Homer to the present--lead us on a journey through snackbars, ports, marketplaces, temples, and to a slaughter ritual in Mongolia and a sacrificial altar in Mexico. In five chapters--Floating Food, Water-Ways, Markets, From the Hand to the Mouth, Offerings and Unter Schnee (Under Snow) in conjunction with the artist's latest film, which had its premiere in September of 2011--there emerges a landscape full of sensuality from the unique universe of Ulrike Ottinger.
