Tom Wood Knihy

Thriller je nabitý napětím, sexappealem a smrští dech beroucích akcí. Mistři svého řemesla nedávají svůj život lacino, ať už jsou to zločinci nebo agenti ruských výzvědných služeb. Když jde o ztracený arsenál, který by mohl zničit svět, je možné úplně všechno. Kdo je tu padouch a kdo hrdina?

Zabiják s krycím jménem Tesseract se pod tlakem okolností rozhodl dát se zapsat na výplatní listinu někdejšího nepřítele. Pro začátek dostane od CIA za úkol odstřelit jiného nájemného vraha, který má zlikvidovat vlivného ruského obchodníka se zbraněmi. A tím se celý kolotoč roztočí. Dva nejbohatší světoví překupníci zbraní se náhle pouštějí navzájem do války. Přesně podle scénáře CIA, která jimi hýbe jako loutkami. Jenže jakou roli v tom hraje Tesseract? To ani on sám neví jistě. Jako obvykle jsou ale ve hře brutalita, smrt a zrada. Ať už je to v Bukurešti, v Berlíně nebo v Minsku, všude budeme bez dechu přihlížet neuvěřitelným akcím. A přestože na zabíjení lidí není vůbec nic obdivuhodného, nejspíš se kupodivu přistihneme, že tomuhle geniálnímu padouchovi se specifickým humorem bůhvíproč držíme palce a přejeme štěstí.

These three volumes of Tom Wood’s new work, Landscapes, are drawn from the artist’s extensive unseen and unpublished landscape work. The first volume concentrates on Wood’s photographs made in response to the West of Ireland, County Mayo, the landscape of his birthplace and childhood and an area he has returned to as an artist almost every year since 1975. Taken over decades, views of this wild and remote landscape, many of them glimpsed from the car, bus or train during his journeys there, are combined with fragile fragments of surviving family photographs, video stills, and intimate and affectionate portraits of day-to-day life within a rural community. The second volume consists of Wood’s landscapes predominantly made within Merseyside, where he lived and worked for 25 years, from 1978–2003. In this more urban environment, his landscapes encompass pictures of people’s homes and gardens, parks, wastelands, and the river Mersey. Wood moved to Wales in 2003 to address what he has referred to as “the matter of landscape.” His open and experimental approach to photography means he is constantly pushing its formal and conceptual possibilities. Selected from the photographs he has been making in Wales, the third volume is the most formally abstract of the three books and includes many photographs taken with a panoramic camera — complex, optically rich pictures with multiple points of view and focus.
