Artificial Light: A Narrative Inquiry into the Nature of Abstraction, Immediacy, and other Architectural Fictions
By Keith Mitnick
Princeton Architectural Press, New York 2008.
“Beautifully written and illustrated with stunning photographs, Keith Mitnick’s debut feature “Artificial Light” successfully weaves together the narratives of architectural criticism and great storytelling. Offering new perspectives on architecture through the lens of autobiographical notes that seem to fathom the fine distinction between authenticity and artificiality, this little book is a fresh take on critical theory, addressing issues of experience, atmosphere, myth, abstraction, or immediacy, without falling into ideological traps.”
