1%: Privilege in a Time of Global Inequality - Hardcover
To be able to simply drift in the infinity pool on the roof terrace of the 57-floor Marina Bay Sand Hotel, while enjoying in the background the urban soundscape of Singapore’s imposing sea of high-rises; or to be personally welcomed to a private champagne party after an extended hot-air balloon ride over the Kenyan wilderness: the extravagant pleasures of the wealthiest 1% of the earth’s population represent an extreme contrast to those of the remaining 99%. Describing the gaping disparities in images is a challenge that has been taken up by photographers such as Nina Berman, Peter Bialobrzeski, Guillaume Bonn, Greg Girard, David Leventi, Michael Light, Andrew Moore, Matthew Pillsbury, Mikhael Subotzky, Brian Ulrich and many others. This volume provides visual evidence of the blatant discrepancy between people’s living conditions, which can be as fascinating as it is shocking.

Review:
This marvelously curated collection begins with choice trappings of the world’s wealthiest one percent―luxury high-rises, plastic surgery, fancy boardrooms―and gradually blends in views of the have-nots. (Jack Crager American Photo)
Inequality isn’t just a number. It has a real human impact. This book shows us the images - from the sky scrapping swimming pools of Singapore to the blur of a trader’s Bloomberg screen - that have become the backdrop to a new and disturbing economic era. (Rana Foroohar Time, Best Photobooks of 2016)
Glossy and disturbing, curated by a rising leader and visionary in our industry (The Huffington Post)
Incredible...fascinating...unique (The Washington Post)
Totally unexpected (Business Insider)
Haunting (The Independent)
Gorgeous (Refinery29)
Impressive (Stern)

Book Description gebunden. Condition: Neu. Neu -Schön und doch beunruhigend: Fotografien der reichsten ein Prozent unseres Planeten. Sich einfach mal im Infinity Pool auf der Dachterrasse des 57-stöckigen Marina Bay Sands Hotels treiben lassen und das Hintergrundrauschen aus Singapurs beeindruckendem Hochhausmeer genießen. Oder nach einer ausgedehnten Ballonfahrt über Kenias Wildparks auf einer privaten Champagnerparty in Empfang genommen werden. Die aufwendigen Vergnügungen des reichsten Prozents der Erdbevölkerung stehen im extremen Gegensatz zum Leben der restlichen 99 Prozent. Die sich immer weiter öffnende Schere in Bildern zu beschreiben und nachdrücklich vor Augen zu halten ist eine Herausforderung, der sich Nina Berman, Peter Bialobrzeski, Guillaume Bonn, Mikhael Subotzky und viele weitere Fotografen stellen. Der Band versammelt ihre Arbeiten, um der Diskrepanz der unterschiedlichen Lebensverhältnisse in krassen Kontrasten eine visuelle Evidenz zu verleihen, die ebenso faszinierend wie schockierend sein kann.
