Description: Joel Sternfeld by Joel Sternfeld Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description From 1978 to 1987, Sternfeld set out to explore and photograph the country. Working largely on the interface between town and country, he photographed ordinary scenes and people, discovering the extraordinary within them, making a study of the American character and condition. Publisher Description "Future generations are going to wonder about us, the inhabitants of the Earth when the climate began to change. If seas are rising and at the same time drinking water is scarce, they are going to want to know what scientific evidence was before us and what we did in response to it. It is difficult to imagine a time in the past without an image, so I went to Montreal in 2005 to photograph the participants in the eleventh United Nations conference on climate change." Joel Sternfeld The resulting 53 color portraits of participants at the conference form the heart of this book. The mezzo busto close-ups fit within a tradition of portraiture that dates back to the Renaissance but the anxiety on each face seems like something only modernity and the advent of ecological collapse could produce. A text culled from newspapers and journals and presented in the form of wire service transmissions provides a chronology of climate change as it has occured in the past 20 years - in the thinking and predictions of scientists and climatologists; in the actions of governments and non-governmental organizations, and in the landscape where dramatic and catastrophic events are occuring. By the title When It Changed Sternfeld may be referrring to a more hopeful turning point. In the past few years increasing recognition of the danger has led to many positive responses across the globe to confront humanitys greatest challenge. If these efforts are successful then this period will be noted as the historic time when the human-earth relationship changed. Author Biography Joel Sternfeld was born in New York City in 1944.
