Paperback. Condizione: New. Where there was once a desert, cities are now sprawled out for miles and miles, and their parts, as though copy-pasted together, seem to bubble up from the black depths of computer screens. 16-lane highways dictate the urban rhythm and texture here, daily commutes often take several hours. In the Emirates everything happens in and around your car. So it's little wonder that young Emiratis feel most at home in their cars. Cars symbolise freedom, they can be movable dwellings or temporary autonomous zones, cars are tax-free, and the main thing is to show off with them: your car shows who you are and who you wish to be. Besides being status symbols, cars also serve as a potent means of seduction in a society in which direct contact with the other sex is forbidden. Fully Fueled brings together pictures taken from 2012 to 2014 by the young French photographer Basile Mookherjee, who documented young Emiratis' nights out and the United Arab Emirates' 42nd national holiday on the streets of Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Flat, sprawled-out urban deserts, phallic urban geometries, reflecting surfaces and lavish ornamentation form the décor. The secret stars of these photographs are of course the cars, and the view seldom rises above windshield level. The human subjects, traditionally dressed in dishdasha (for men) and abaya (for women), seem as though photographed "through the lens of the car," as the photographer puts it. Fully Fueled is an over-the-top liturgy composed of the shapes and surfaces of our globalized environment. The book also reflects on the UAE's abrupt petrodollar-driven modernization and the aesthetic expression thereof in cities that have sprung up amid an essentially nomadic Middle Eastern culture. A world somewhere between desert dust and Gotham City, Islam and spending power, tradition and modernity.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Dort, wo einst Wüste war, erstrecken sich nun kilometerlange Städte, deren wie im Copy-and-paste-Verfahren zusammengehängte Teile aus den schwarzen Tiefen der Computerbildschirme zu blubbern scheinen. Sechzehnspurige Autobahnen rhythmisieren die städtische Textur, Arbeitswege dauern oft mehrere Stunden. In den Emiraten spielt sich alles im und ums Auto herum ab. Es wundert deshalb wenig, dass junge Emirati Heimat in erster Linie in ihren Autos gefunden haben. Autos symbolisieren Freiheit, Autos können Wohnung sein, können temporäre Autonome Zonen sein, Autos sind steuerfrei, und es geht vor allem darum, mit ihnen anzugeben: Autos zeigen, wer du bist und wer du sein möchtest. Ausser als Statussymbol dienen sie - in einer Gesellschaft, in der der direkte Kontakt mit dem anderen Geschlecht verboten ist -, auch als potentes Mittel zur Verführung. Die Publikation Fully Fueled versammelt zwischen 2012 und 2014 entstandene Bilder des jungen französischen Fotografen Basile Mookherjee, der die Nächte junger Emirati sowie die Feierlichkeiten des 42. Nationalfeiertags der Vereinigten Arabischen Emirate auf den Strassen Dubais und Abu Dhabis dokumentierte. Flächige, dezentrale Stadtwüsten, phallische Stadtgeometrien, reflektierende Oberflächen und üppige Ornamentik bilden das Dekor. Die heimlichen Stars sind die Autos, und der fotografische Blick bleibt meist auf Windschutzscheibenhöhe. «Durch die Linse des Autos», wie es der Fotograf beschreibt, scheinen auch die menschlichen ProtagonistInnen aufgenommen zu sein: traditionell gekleidet in Dishdasha (Männer) und Abaya (Frauen).Fully Fueled ist eine zugespitzte Liturgie der Formen und Oberflächen unserer globalisierten Umwelt. Das Buch unternimmt gleichzeitig eine Reflexion über die abrupte, sich auf Ölreichtum gründende Modernisierung der Vereinigten Arabischen Emirate und zeigt, wie sich diese Entwicklung auf das von nomadisch-orientalischer Kultur geprägte Erbe ästhetisch niederschlägt. Eine Welt irgendwo zwischen Wüstenstaub und Gotham City, Islam und Kaufkraft, Tradition und Moderne.…
