{"product_id":"arcadia-ian-howorth","title":"Arcadia, Ian Howorth","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn to an English father and a Peruvian mother, Ian Howorth inherited a fascinating and culturally rich background. Such an upbringing can be very liberal and mind-expanding, but a downside might be the lost sense of belonging. No wonder Howorth’s first book \u003cem\u003eArcadia\u003c\/em\u003e is spiced with ingredients like detachment, nostalgia, surreal dreams and lost hopes. \u003cem\u003eArcadia\u003c\/em\u003e, which explores a personal connection to Great Britain, borrows its name from the Ancient Greeks: to them, Arcadia was a fictional place of harmony and prosperity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pleasing landscapes, solitary people and uncanny inanimate objects communicate the artist's longing for a utopian version of the past and show the desire to restore the connection to his roots. By means of this project, Howorth is asking the viewer two important questions: how can an intangible concept of home resonate in a still image? And: how can a visual investigation be a solution for those who live in the country where they are considered both natives and foreigners?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublished by Setanta Books\u003cbr\u003eEdition of 600\u003cbr\u003eNumbered\u003cbr\u003eHardback, clothbound\u003cbr\u003e220 × 330 mm\u003cbr\u003eISBN 9780956220530 \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Setanta Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":16894876319834,"sku":"IHOWO1","price":65.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2538\/3478\/products\/Arcadia_cover.png?v=1556108678","url":"https:\/\/www.thelibraryproject.ie\/it\/products\/arcadia-ian-howorth","provider":"The Library Project","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
