Prize-Winning Fine Art Photographer Gabriele Golissa Takes Readers on Another Journey Through Her Skies
MISSOULA, MT, December 03, 2018 – Tian Books proudly presents: “Sun and Moon / Sonne und Mond” by Gabriele Golissa – Another inspiring and informative voyage through the world above.
With her first book „Skies/Himmel“, fine art photographer Gabriele Golissa took readers on a voyage through her skies. Warmly embraced by both audience and reviewers, it also won a bronze-prize at the 2017 International Photography Awards. With her new book, Gabriele Golissa now explores the two luminaries that dominate our sky: the Sun, the brightest object in the sky, and the Moon, Earth’s sole natural satellite.
„Sun and Moon / Sonne und Mond“ shows wonderful photographs featuring the two orbs and provides interesting information about them. It covers both solar and lunar eclipses, events captivating sky-lovers all over the world. Not stopping there, the book also depicts the fascinating aurora polaris or polar lights which illuminate northern and southern skies with amazing light displays.
Dr. Daniel Reisenfeld, professor of physics and astronomy at the University of Montana, says in his foreword: “In our natural world the Sun and Moon move through the sky in relation to the Earth and each other, giving rise to a wealth of spectacles from the clockwork phases of the Moon to the glory of the solar eclipse. Gabriele’s book ‚Sun and Moon‘ succeeds in capturing the splendor of these orbs. But beyond a collection of lovely photographs, she introduces the reader to the science behind the beauty, which to me makes these images all the more meaningful. This is a true case of science enriching art.”
Born in Germany but spending a lot of time in Montana, a state whose nickname is “Big Sky Country”, Golissa feels at home in both the German and the English language. Accordingly, the book is fully bilingual. “Sun and Moon / Sonne und Mond” is not a common book and does not fit into any one category. Instead, it is a book for art lovers, fans of photography and nature enthusiasts alike.
