Jules Spinatsch. Vienna MMIX -10008/7000 Hardback
by Nadine Olonetzky, David Company
Hardback
Description
Jules Spinatsch ranks among the foremost contemporary Swiss photographic artists.
Many of his projects, although controversial are thought-provoking and internationallly recognised.
Since 2003, he has been working on his Surveillance Panorama Projects; shot with network cameras, these works create awareness for social habits and show the sometimes striking discrepancy between illusion and reality. In Vienna MMIX, he focused on the famous Vienna Opera Ball; from the opening of the doors at 20:32hrs, until the end of the dance at 05:17hrs, using 2 cameras to complete duel rotations, capturing an image every few seconds, an incredible 17,352 in total. Jules Spinatsch. Vienna MMIX-10008/7000 presents this fascinating social study in two volumes.
Volume 1 shows 10,008 images, combined into a single chronological sequence; panoramic views that recreat the entire space, yet show only fragments of events.
Volume 2 presents a selection of 70 images, documenting single moments of great intensity or intimacy, in fascinating close-up detail.
It is a striking collection, documenting a range of human behaviour in a public space, over a relatively short period of time, in a very specific arena.
