Claudia Fährenkemper photographs enormous as well as minuscule objects, using scanning electron microscopes to make images that are as fascinating as they are disconcerting. Her play with extreme scales yields fantastic visual worlds: American desert and canyon landscapes, the giant machinery of open-pit mines in Germany, insects, plant seeds, crystals and plankton, plus historic armaments from Europe and Japan. The lavishly designed book is the first to gather works from her entire oeuvre, spanning four decades, and surveys her most important conceptual series, revealing unexpected links between motifs from nature, technology, science and cultural history.
