Gibellina Model Studies
Alexander Rosenkranz

LIMITED EDITION OF 100 SIGNED, NUMBERED ARTIST COPIES

A MUST-HAVE FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS AND ARCHITECTS

In 1968, an earthquake destroyed the entire Sicilian town of Gibellina. A few years later, a new Gibellina was rebuilt at a different location. Alexander Rosenkranz delved into the heart of this utopia of concrete, art, and sunlight. The audacious format of Gibellina Model Studies renews the genre of architectural photography and questions the value of this artistic urban model.


Gibellina Model Studies
« A UNIQUE AND EXPERIMENTAL PERSPECTIVE ON THE CITY’S URBAN PLANNING »
— VOGUE

« UNCONVENTIONAL APPROACH TO ARCHITECTURAL PHOTOGRAPHY »
— THE GUARDIAN

« FORMSTARK »
— NEUE ZÜRCHER ZEITUNG

A PROJECT COMMISSIONED BY IMAGES VEVEY

Alexander Rosenkranz went to stay in this new city to present it from a perspective that is as experimental as the site’s urban planning. As he wandered around it, at all times of the day, he explored various methods for taking photographs to vary the possible interpretations. Back in his Berlin studio, he photocopied the pictures he had taken and rearranged the printouts following strict protocols.

In renewing the genre of architectural photography, Gibellina Model Studies questions the complete reconstruction of a city that has now become an artistic urban model. Each piece is unique and handmade.

Images Vevey commissioned Gibellina Model Studies at the special edition of its Biennial held in the town of Gibellina Nuova in Sicily in 2021.
