These are concepts that continue to inform all areas of Kapoor’s artistic output, many of which have been realised in works that confound the distinctions between art and architecture, pushing architecture into radical new territory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKapoor’s projects renegotiate the relationship not only between art and architecture but also between the very sense of space within ourselves and that of the external world. The forms he presents to us create spaces that blur the duality of subject and object, of interior and exterior. Monochrome fields of colour, mirrored surfaces and fathomless voids all destabilise our place in the world. The more than 2,000 sketches, models, renderings and plans in this book show the journey of these forms to how they might exist in reality, as well as the spaces they inhabit or create, both outside and within us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFor a long time before - even from the pigment pieces - I’d been thinking of my work as potential architecture.

At Uluru, he found a landscape of monumental scale which contained intimate and ritually resonant sites. A landscape of hollows and voids which he has read as resonant of primal or even \"original\" structure. Kapoor describes Uluru as \"an object with a perforated skin which lends itself to mythic meaning.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn his visit in 1991, Kapoor noted in his sketchbook \"a white bump on a white wall.\" He later made the sculpture \u003cem\u003eWhen I am Pregnant\u003c\/em\u003e (1992), describing it as \"an object in a state of becoming.\" The idea of the proto-object is central to Kapoor's work. In 2012, Kapoor returned to Uluru and Kata Tjuta. These two photographic volumes trace his journey. They reveal through his eyes the artist's preoccupation with form and pre-form, skin and surface in relation to deep interior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnbelievable things revealed themselves every day. I felt deeply connected with the place, and with a kind of possible interpretation, a symbolic interpretation of the holes and the strips of stone that seem to be leaning against it. I was amazed, not at the monolith, but at the way the monolith seemed to be made up of symbolic events. - Anish Kapoor\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAnish Kapoor: Uluru \u0026amp; Kata Tjuta\u003c\/em\u003e beautifully encapsulates this interwoven narrative of landscape and artistic exploration, engaging readers with Kapoor's profound connections and insights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47595682660588,"sku":"9783958292604","price":230.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9783958292604-anish-kapoor-uluru-kata-tjuta.jpg?v=1777901466"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/anish-kapoor.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
