TASCHEN's 25th anniversary – Special edition!
One day Ferdinand
Cheval a French postman came across a stone at Hauterives
near Lyon and was fascinated by its strange evocative
shape. He spent the next three decades collecting stones
shells and fossils and used them to build the Palais
idéal.
Cheval's palace is one of many works of
architectural fantasy in this book the result
of over 20 years' research by celebrated architectural
photographer Deidi von Schaewen. Like Cheval the
creators of these extraordinary worlds simply started
building with no rules to guide them and in
most cases no previous artistic experience. These
fantasy palaces bizarre sanctuaries and colorful
sculpture gardens seldom follow a plan. Often the artists
continued building for many years sometimes until their
dying day.
Their work is impossible to categorize: Art brut
architecture without architects self-taught art
fantasy architecture in the tradition of Piranesi non-academic
architecture Outsider Art — none of these definitions quite encapsulates
this worldwide phenomenon. Eccentric hideaways like the Tour de l'Apocalypse
in Belgium the Junkerhaus at Lemgo or the Owl House in South Africa appear
alongside Simon Rodia's Watts Towers which dominate the cityscape of
Los Angeles. To venture into this world is to immerse oneself in the
collective unconscious.
The addresses of sites open to the public
are listed in the appendix. |
