Product Description
Synopsis
Television today is saturated with crime scene investigations and their ubiquitous scenes of autopsy and forensic science. Blood, guts and the Gothic are not only proliferating air time, but are influencing the current style of editorial design, illustration and photography. Against this backdrop, "Black Magic/White Noise" presents an unsettlingly but nevertheless fascinating collection of visuals that deal with the physical and with the psychological notions of horror as "filtered" through contemporary designers from around the world. The book seduces its readers into a conflicting world filled with chillingly beautiful illustration, photography, graphic design, collage, painting and installation. "Black Magic" is represented by images of darkness, mystery and horror while "White Noise" describes the concept of the unexpected infiltration of the "irrational into broad daylight" themes we have come to know and love through Alfred Hitchcock and Haruki Murakami. Not for the fainthearted, "Black Magic/White Noise" is a potent cocktail of the drastic themes and motifs that are being used and are finding widespread acceptance in today's creative disciplines and design.

Unusual beauty
22 Dec 2008
I doubt anyone will enjoy all the art presented in this book. But neither should you expect to only like a couple of the items. All the art has a dark component, some harking back to turn of the 20th century commercial art seen in "le Voyage dans la Lune", others highly influenced by René Magritte.

Exactly as described
2 Dec 2007
The editorial review of this book at the top of the page is accurate. The artwork is not for everyone, as it is quite bizarre. The publisher, Die Gestalten Verlag has sample images from the book online if you want to be sure the style is one you'll like.

Dissapointing
22 Oct 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase
The cover was beautiful and I expected the interior art to be beautiful as well. The book has 5 pictures of worth and rest is just garbage. I am very disspointed with this purchase.
