Overview
Fossils are the petrified remains of former living organisms. Their systematics and their former living conditions are studied and described in palaeontology. In contrast to this, this book attempts to show the character of these life forms as signs and to pursue the question of whether fossils and representations of fossils can be considered beautiful. For this reason, the pictures' sequence is not based on a palaeontological system of classification, but instead progresses from realistic representations of, for instance, a coral's body in its entirety through ever smaller sectors of the image and details divorced from context to almost abstract images.The book, Fossil Design: Signs of Petrified Life [Bulk, Wholesale, Quantity] ISBN#9783936681246 in Hardcover by may be ordered in bulk quantities.
