He also points his lens at olive trees that have grown over centuries into figures full of character, creepers that conquer leftover spaces between high-rises and motorways, and mighty rock faces that are being gnawed by erosion. With the merging of art and documentation that is typical of Aernis work, Georg Aerni—Silent Transition makes the signs of change the object of a contemplative observation and at the same time asks challenging questions: about our handling of natural resources, about the social backgrounds to cities growing out of control, and about the regenerative force of nature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA decade after Aernis first monograph, Sites \u0026amp; Signs, this new book showcases the artists ongoing continuation of his photographic work through numerous individual images as well as new series. 166 beautiful colour and black-and-white plates are introduced through texts by Peter Pfrunder and Nadine Olonetzky and commented on with an essay by Sabine von Fischer.
