Description

ドイツ人アーティスト、フォトグラファーであるピーター・グランサー(Peter Granser)の作品集。本書のタイトル『雲中の天国HEAVEN IN CLOUDS)』は、中国の富裕層が住む近代的な高級住宅街の名称であり、新しい楽園的な世界へ旅立つための約束、メタファーとして読みとることができる。作者は中国の街の急激な成長や都市化、そしてそこに住む人々や自然への影響に向き合っている。

大都市は、現代における(キリスト教で言うところの、神の)「救済の約束」である。よりよい生活環境へと向けられた希望が、直近数十年の間に世界の大都市を巨大な規模へと膨れ上がらせた。この傾向は特に中国において顕著に見受けられ、人口100万人を超える都市がすでに100箇所以上国内に存在する。人類がかつて経験したことのない次元での人口密度と人口集中度の高さは、間違いなく劇的な結果と重大な影響をもたらし、生態学的、経済的、社会的に甚大な問題を引き起こすだろう。ドイツの出版社であり本書の版元「Edition Taube」とデザインスタジオ「PARAT.cc」を主宰するヨナス・ボイヒャート(Jonas Beuchert)は、この作品を書籍にすべく、実存的かつ社会的な性質を強く出すような編集とデザインを手がけて制作にあたった。グローバル化した世界において、中国はこれまでにないほど西欧に近づいてきている。本書は西欧式の経済システムを採用して非常に大型化してきた一つの社会の間口を開いており、彼らは西欧が目指すものと同じ目標に向けて奮闘しているのである。「成長による反映」というヨーロッパのイデオロギーに追従して行動する中国は、「近代経済学の父」と呼ばれたアダム・スミス(Adam Smith)がかつて確立した理論と同じ原則で、個人に焦点を当てたヨーロッパのヒューマニズムの観点から考察されなければならない。

4冊の本に収録されているメージ群は、哲学者であるイマヌエル・カント(Immanuel Kant)の4つの問いに沿って編纂されている。

HEAVEN IN CLOUDS I「私は何を知りうるか?(What can I know?」(エッセイ集)
HEAVEN IN CLOUDS II「私は何を為しうるかWhat should I do?)」 (ルポルタージュ写真集)
HEAVEN IN CLOUDS III — 「私は何を望みうるか?What may I hope?」(夜空の写真集)
HEAVEN IN CLOUDS IV — 「人間とは何かWhat is man?)」(ビデオ・ポートレイト集 13作 / QRコード付き)

HEAVEN IN CLOUDS is the name of a modern Chinese residential quarter for affluent inhabitants. It can be read as a promise, a metaphor for setting off for a new, paradisiacal world.

HEAVEN IN CLOUDS is also the title of a new book by Peter Granser in which he confronts urbanization, the exponential growth of Chinese cities and its impact on their inhabitants and on nature.

The big city is the promise of salvation of our day. The hope for better living conditions has led world metropolises to swell to enormous proportions over the last few decades. This trend is particularly pronounced in China, where there are already more than 100 cities with a population of over one million. This high population density and concentration in dimensions never before witnessed by humankind will undoubtedly have dramatic consequences, leading to a plethora of ecological, economic and social problems. Jonas Beuchert (Edition Taube/PARAT.cc) edited and designed a publication about Gransers work, emphasizing the existential and political character of it: In a globalized world, China is closer to the West than ever before. HEAVEN IN CLOUDS opens a window onto a society that has adopted and supersized a western-style economic system, striving for the same goals as we do. A China that acts according to the European ideology of “prosperity through growth” must be considered from a European humanist perspective with a focus on the individual—the same basis on which Adam Smith once founded his theory. The images in Granser’s four books are thus arranged according to Emmanuel Kant’s four questions:

HEAVEN IN CLOUDS I — What can I know? (essays)
HEAVEN IN CLOUDS II — What should I do? (reportage photographs)
HEAVEN IN CLOUDS III — What may I hope? (night skies)
HEAVEN IN CLOUDS IV — What is man? (13 video portraits)
