Wolfgang Tillmans - Concorde
According to photographer Wolfgang Tillmans (born 1968), "for the chosen few, flying Concorde is apparently a glamorous but cramped and slightly boring routine while to watch it in air, landing or taking off is a strange and free spectacle, a super modern anachronism and an image of the desire to overcome time and distance through technology"
With no text other than the inner-front flap's description, this fifth printing of Tillmans' now iconic artist's book consists of 62 color photographs of the Concorde airplane--taking off, landing or in flight, and sometimes as just a tiny, bird-like silhouette in the sky
