false 85619 1 For the last twenty years, James Casebere has constructed increasingly complex small-scale architectural models that are carefully built and then subtly lit and photographed in the studio. These table-sized models are made of simple materials, pared down to essential forms, empty of both extraneous detail and action. Casebere's disconcerting ''sites'' recall prisons, monasteries, tunnels, factories, and other archetypal spaces. Casebere has gained increasing international acclaim in recent years as the leading proponent of what has become known as ''constructed photography.'' This is the first publication to comprehensively survey Casebere's career in its entirety, and provides an important contextual and visual framework in which to posit his soaring international reputation. His oeuvre can be seen in the full scope of its development, from his early preoccupation with the genre of the Western and the suburban home, to his concern with institutional buildings, to his recent investigations into the relationships between social control and social structures. 82621 15 6 2001 James Casebere: The Spacial Uncanny 0 0 6 0 0 0 false false Thu Jul 16 09:09:32 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 16 09:09:32 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jun 21 15:47:23 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 21 15:47:23 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Jun 06 21:10:12 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 06 21:10:12 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Jan 31 10:03:54 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 31 10:03:54 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Fri May 02 14:22:13 -0700 2008 Fri May 02 14:22:17 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Fri Mar 07 21:22:24 -0800 2008 Fri Mar 07 21:22:24 -0800 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=85619
