SKU: 101270
Inspired by the distinctive character of Icelandic architecture, Dieter Roth s Reykjav’k Slides document every building in the Icelandic capital in 31,035 slides shown simultaneously on multiple projectors. In 1995 Roth gathered a selection of these images along with his handwritten notes in English and Icelandic describing the project s development to create an artist book printed in an edition of 90. This newest edition presents a snapshot of this monumental project in 24 color photographs
on noncoated stock with saturated, almost prismatic inks that beautifully
communicate the texture of his spare and rough-hewn subject. Made with the assistance of photographer P‡l Magnœsson and the artist s two sons, Bjšrn and Karl, Reykjav’k Slides constitutes a comprehensive survey of place, diverting attention away from the artist to his subject the singularity of Reykjav’k, which has been Roth s home since 1957.
