Arcadia in decay

Más información sobre el libro

Moni K. Huber is working on a series of paintings, which explore the hotel architecture from the 1960s and 1970s in former Yugoslavia and show what such buildings look like today.Today, many of these hotels and resorts have been converted to four-star hotels, while others have fallen into decay owing to uncertainty about their ownership or are objects of speculation.Moni K. Huber's paintings work with the collage technique used on the canvas, and which becomes a game of deception between photography and painting.This publication shows the convergence between her large pictures with her water colours, which are based on photographs and initially function as sketches before being composed on the computer, put together in parts with scissors and glue and assembled as collages.By also including older works this book provides an overview of the artist's diverse oeuvre.English and German text.
