Scarce self-publication. Signed. "According to the I-Ching, boredom breeds darkness, and this may be truer in regards to Oslo than most other towns"--the photographer. A captivating, fast-paced, blurry-eyed, whirlwind tour of Oslo, by one of her native sons. A great, visual journal of 58 photos that follows no rules and adheres to no philosophy. See Parr. Vol 3.
Fast City is a remarkably expressive portrait of the city of Oslo and its lifestyle. The book serves as a captivating, fast-paced, and blurry-eyed whirlwind tour of the city by one of its native sons. It functions as a visual journal featuring 58 photos that follow no specific rules or philosophy. Notably, Andersen combined color with black and white photography—a combination that was very rare in 1999. The work is described as an edgy but affectionate portrait of a city that the author felt had been underphotographed in a serious way.
