FONTCUBERTA, JOAN & PERE FORMIGUERA. Dr. Ameisenhaufen's Fauna.
FONTCUBERTA, JOAN & PERE FORMIGUERA. Dr. Ameisenhaufen's Fauna. Text and research by Fontcuberta and Formiguera. Illustrated with reproductions of photographs by Fontcuberta. 8vo, black-printed tan wrappers. Parr/Badger II 68. first edition. Göttingen: European Photography, 1988
- Notes: "Fauna" was originally published by the magazine "European Photography," and purports to present the journals, notes, maps, sketches, and photographs of a recently "discovered" archive of a scientist named Dr. Peter Ameisenhaufen. This book presents these materials as proof that Ameisenhaufen discovered mutated animals (a snake with short legs, or a rabbit with fiercely sharp teeth, for example) in the far edges of the world. A convincing spoof, and a serious comment on photography''s role as a purveyor of truth.
