Chacun des «paradis» de Thomas Struth est une partie de la nature consacrée à un thème spécifique. Dans ses photographies mesurant jusqu'à 9 sur 11 pieds, Thomas Struth attire le spectateur dans la sérénité magique des forêts et des jungles, les arbres impénétrables mais lumineux des arbres, des buissons, des plantes tropicales et des ruisseaux moussus. Struth a trouvé ses paradis en Chine, au Japon, en Australie, au Brésil, en Allemagne et, plus récemment, au Pérou, en Floride et à Hawaï. Avec 11 nouvelles images, la nouvelle édition élargie de son livre Paradise contient toute la série de 36 photographies en plaques à pleine page. Dans leurs essais, le psychologue Ingo Hartmann et l'historien de l'art Hans Rudolf Reust éclairent chacun notre compréhension actuelle de la nature dite indomptable, de son exploitation et de sa mystification, sans parler de base pour les utopies.

The Artists Laboratory series presents the more experimental and less familiar work of contemporary artists, opening up the creative process to explore the conceptual and practical concerns with which they engage. Nigel Hall is one of the foremost sculptors of his generation, known for his abstract works in blond wood, iron and steel, but drawing is a crucial part of his practice. The third in the Artists Laboratory series, this book demonstrates Halls preoccupation with drawing from life, in particular the geometric forms that occur in the natural world. In conversation with Bryan Kneale, a fellow sculptor, Hall discusses the subtle relationship between these studies and his sculptures, greatly enhancing our understanding of his art and his unusual place in the landscape tradition.
