{"product_id":"9783905701111","title":"Doug Aitken: Alpha","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"I became restless with the flat surface of the screen so the work gradually evolved into the rest of the space,\" says Doug Aitken of his multichannel film work. Lately he has been projecting from multiple points onto a single structure. And he has turned from wide-open and lonely landscapes (\u003ci\u003eElectric Earth\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDiamond Sea\u003c\/i\u003e) to wide-open and lonely people (\u003ci\u003enew skin\u003c\/i\u003e). The protagonist of the surreal \u003ci\u003eAlpha,\u003c\/i\u003e played by cult actor Udo Kier is both: as he travels, he dematerializes and becomes the space that he inhabits. Luckily for readers, Aitken is as bored with the square shape of the conventional book as he is with the conventional screen: this collection of \u003ci\u003eAlpha\u003c\/i\u003e images, accompanied by text from the artist, is bound in the shape of a head in profile.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JRP Ringier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47058994266352,"sku":"9783905701111","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783905701111_p0.jpg?v=1763702714","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783905701111","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
