Description

Susumu Shingu's graceful, wind- and water-powered kinetic sculpture is presented here in more than two hundred spectacular color photographs, along with commentary and the artist's sketches, in this comprehensive monograph of his thirty-year career. Shingu's sculpture is found around the world, from all over Japan to France, Italy, and the United States. His infinite curiosity about the wonders of nature has driven him to write and illustrate several books and to create theater pieces in which he integrates the world of his sculpture and human movements. All of these endeavors are collected here, and combined with the artist's comments, essays by Pierre Restany and Renzo Piano, and an interview with Joseph Giovannini, this monograph is a complete portrait of Shingu's diverse career.
