Wim Wenders: Pictures from the Surface of the Earth

Issued in conjunction with an exhibition of photographs rendered by German-born filmmaker, author, photographer and globetrotter Wim Wenders (b. 1945). With essays by Peter-Klaus Schuster and Nicole Hartje.

“Wenders’ photographs portray a world almost devoid of humans, a natural or man-made world viewed from a distance. They shed light on the many guises the surface of the earth dons and attest to Wenders’ contemplative and amazed gaze. … The book, presenting panorama shots of landscapes and cities, architecture and nature, is thus both a portrait of the world as encountered by the photographer and a portrait of the photographer as reflected in his vision of the world.”

In excellent vintage condition with only minor wear to the dust jacket.
