{"product_id":"formafantasma-andrea-trimarchi-9783753303666","title":"Formafantasma: Oltre Terra: Why Wool Matters","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA cultural, aesthetic and biological history of wool, from ancient extraction methods to contemporary textile design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this volume, the Milan-based multidisciplinary design studio Formafantasma investigates the history, ecology and global dynamics of the extraction and production of wool. A wide range of artworks, agricultural and cultural objects, photographs, videos and other materials demonstrate how wool is more than simply a raw material for the design and textile industries. The book accompanies an exhibition of the same name, \u003ci\u003eOltre Terra\u003c\/i\u003e, which reimagines the display mode of the diorama. Rather than representing a static scene from nature, here it becomes an installation containing six life-size reproductions of different sheep breeds, a carpet made from discarded wool fibers, as well as documents, films, by-products of manufacturing processes and various types of organic matter. All these elements are presented side by side to counteract persisting categorizations that separate human from animal and product from biological matter. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrea Trimarchi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3753303666\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783753303666\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Walther Konig Verlag\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/09\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.30w x 0.80d","brand":"Andrea Trimarchi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44254775771391,"sku":"9783753303666","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2fe1c475-7811-4b6b-83ac-68c28eb87ff8.jpg?v=1694614298","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/formafantasma-andrea-trimarchi-9783753303666","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
