AMUNDSEN, Fiona - Fiona Amundsen - The Imperial Body.Auckland, split/fountain, 2015. 30 x 23 cm. 88 pp. Softcover. Illustrated in b/w and colour. - [Edition: 750]. - The Imperial Body brings together three interrelated series: Operation Magic (2012), Most Honourable Son (2013) and See You at Yasukuni (2014). Each series focuses, respectively, on the sites of the 1941 Japanese initiated Pearl Harbour attack; the plight of Ben Kuroki, the only American of Japanese descent permitted to fight in aerial combat in the Asia Pacific Theatre of WWII, and the Tokyo based Yasukuni Shrine, which is dedicated to those who died whilst serving the Emperor. Utilising photography and moving-image these artworks explore how images are able to fracture paradigmatic socio-cultural histories and narratives associated with how the Asia Pacific Theatre is officially memorialised and narrated across parts of Asia and the Pacific: the focus concerns what sits outside of known official narratives and memorialisation. - Fine copy EUR 20.00 | CHF 19.5] N°. du livre 17172vous est proposé par:
