The photographs of Ferit Kuyas combine cool objectivity with a feeling for the poetry hidden in industrial environments, primarily from the period of early industrialization in Europe. Although Ferit Kuyas's work has been known to insiders for some time, this is the long-awaited publication of his work in book form. One of Europe's foremost industrial photographers, Kuyas has a style that combines detached observation with a strong poetic sense. He creates timeless images that inspire meditation. His masterful use of light supports the reduction to the essential. Many of the interiors and objects Kuyas has photographed no longer exist, a fact that elevates these pictures to the status of important documents of their time. The captions by Hans-Peter Baertschi, a renowned industrial archeologist, provide important insights to readers interested in the history of technology.
