The Bookstore will be closed until sometime in late June as we relocate to a temporary space. The Pritzker Student Center is undergoing major renovations, and we will not be shipping or processing any online orders until we are fully set up in our temporary location.
X-RAY: SEE THE WORLD AROUND YOU
$39.95
A beautiful and utterly mesmerizing view of everyday objects.
Using security scanners and x-ray machines, Nick Veasey creates beautiful, unsettling, inside-out images that reveal?like never before?the intricacy of everyday objects, animals, and plants. Whether the spectacle of an x-rayed Boeing 777, the elaborate geometry of an mp3 player's circuit boards, or the ethereal grace of a translucent daffodil, each page of this book is an absorbing work of art.
In a security-obsessed age, Veasey's work is subtly subversive, as it uses sophisticated technology to discover inner beauty rather than concealed dangers.
Veasey captures the x-ray images on film in a lead-lined studio. (He works on the outside of the studio when the machines are operating.) Once the x-ray has been exposed, it is scanned at ultrahigh resolution, using special equipment tailored for the process. These digital images are then composed and embellished on a computer. The whole process can take weeks or even months?but the results speak for themselves.
