NOVEDADES

For over a century, humans, dwarves, gnomes, and elves have lived together in relative peace. But that peace has now come to an end. Geralt of Rivia, the hunter known as the Witcher, has been waiting for the birth of a prophesied child. The one who has the power to change the world for good—or for evil. As the threat of war hangs over the land and the child is pursued for her extraordinary powers, it will become Geralt’s responsibility to protect them all. And the Witcher never accepts defeat.

A unique collection of photographs by Yuriko Takagi, showcasing her poetic and surrealist look at Dior haute couture creations. An important addition to the library of leading artistic photographers working to interpret the fashion house’s oeuvre. Takagi is an icon of Japanese photography, her enchanting and otherworldly images are built with a unique and careful consideration of shadows, the result of a career-long contemplation of natural light—a theme that plays a pivotal role in her work for Dior. This book features exclusive shootings by Takagi of the most emblematic Dior haute couture designs. Takagi delivers her personal reinterpretation of the essence of Dior, opening a profound dialogue between her artistic conception and the codes of the House. Her photographs capture an ephemeral, intangible quality of the subjects, and her signature technique of layering images, in this case of flowers and architectural motifs over toiles of dresses and models, creates a dreamlike atmosphere. The result is a collection of great poetry, a surrealist promenade through Dior’s eras, and a unique observation of the inventiveness of the House over the decades.

Walter doesn't know what the big deal is—sure, it might be nice to have a green eggs and ham picnic on a hike, but doesn't Sam-I-Am know about all of the bugs? And the flowers that make you sneeze? Or the rivers that block your way? No, Walter is not a fan of the outdoors, he certainly is not. And nothing Sam-I-Am will do or say will change his mind. Too bad for Walter, Sam-I-Am is always up for a challenge!

Durante siglos los modernos construyeron su mundo y sus ciencias separando tajantemente naturaleza y cultura. El mundo y el hombre como dos realidades separadas. Objetos que eran apenas tocados, o ni siquiera, por sujetos que conocen, transforman y rompen. Morton acuñó el término «hiper-objeto» para referirse a las cosas que se distribuyen masivamente en tiempo y espacio en relación con los humanos. Son directamente responsables de lo que Morton llama «El fin del mundo», volviendo obsoletas tanto la mirada apocalíptica sobre la crisis ambiental, como su negación. Los hiper objetos ya han inaugurado una nueva fase humana de hipocresía, debilidad e inconsistencia.
