Summer Blue - Sur La Terre Qui Est Un Astre - Peter H. Waterschoot

Summer Blue is a field exploration. The setting is summer, the feeling is blue. Peter H. Waterschoot works his way around romantic scenery using l''heure bleue and blue neon, turning the real into the unreal. More and more exotics pop up, the aesthetic becomes uncanny, and the garden becomes unkempt until it finally blurs into impenetrable wilderness. The quiet voyage reminds us of a theatre backdrop, a midsummer night''s dream, Alice, or even Where the Wild Things Are, but at its core, a personal story lies hidden. The book contains 96 images with field notes by the photographer and an essay by Prof. Jürgen Pieters (Ghent University).
