Description

Double Take presents 40 meticulously re-created miniature versions of iconic photographs. Swiss photographers Jojakim Cortis and Adrian Sonderegger have painstakingly reproduced images ranging from early known to highly valuable works, including Andreas Gursky's Rhein II, which sold for $4.3 million in 2011. The duo's project began with a challenge: recreate the image of Rhein II in their Zürich studio. The result was a success and led to a larger personal project, featuring photographs of miniature re-creations of iconic images that captured pivotal historical events. This book showcases the reconstruction process, along with an essay and an interview with the photographers. A technical tour de force, Double Take offers a unique perspective on image making, questioning whether the image can ever be trusted. With its accompanying images, supporting essay, and in-depth interview, this book is for those interested in photography or miniatures with a twist.
