After many months of experiments in the mid-1980s with an Israeli explosives engineer, she discovered how to refine this unique process to make large-scale, intricately designed works of art and named the new art form \u003cem\u003eDetonography\u003c\/em\u003e. Working in the New Mexico desert, near where the first atomic bomb was tested at the Trinity Site, she transforms powerful weapons of destruction into tools of creation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this book, the first to showcase her work, she describes the history and genesis of Detonography and explains from conception to installation how a piece of explosive art is made. Her method is documented step by step with the richly detailed photography of John Trotter, a personal history, and an essay by Gideon Sivan, the explosives expert whose technical work served as Rosenberg’s original inspiration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of New Mexico Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47082258202864,"sku":"9780826353610","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780826353610_p0.jpg?v=1769910871","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780826353610","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
