Beat Streuli BXL Collection Monographs & Artists’ Books Author(s) Laurent Busine Katerina Gregos Edition English / French / German July 2008 ISBN: 978-3-905829-79-2 Hardcover, 284 x 274 mm 168 pages Images 98 color CHF 60 / EUR 40 / £ 25 / US 55 Print pdf Print pdf (fr) Portrait of a city Streuli's central motif is the urban environment and its inhabitants. But his photographs are neither documentary nor conceptual: rather they lead us to a form of aesthetics that one could describe as the "glamour of the usual." In this publication he has reunited a new series of images taken in Brussels. Large-scale portraits of passerby and inhabitants of the city compel the viewer to look at the European capital as a metropol, whose melting-pot is forging our new cultural identity.
