Author: Bernhard GarnicnigIn late 2019, artist Karin Ferrari came to New York City to research what she describes as “pseudosacred commercial architecture” for six months. These st ructures are particularly ubiquitous in the United States, where many casinos, banks, hotels, shopping centres, and entertainment facilities imitate and reference mythical and sacred building elements. This compact volume collects Ferrari’s pictures of the city’s “rooftop temples” at a pivotal moment in the city’s history.ISBN 9783903796225.
