This meaty and yet compact volume compiles everyday scenes from all over the globe. (...) The opulent mix of old and new drawings exemplifies Giezendanner's tendency to work less on complete pictures and more on a »world of images«. (Villö Huszai)

They comprise black and white snapshots that somehow seem familiar. Apparent memories of those moments when one's glance has become fixed on some unimportant feature, which has burned an imprint of itself into one's brain despite its apparent insignificance. All of these moments suddenly start to pop up in Ingo Giezendanner's book. (Bernard Senn)


18th July 2006, Tages-Anzeiger, Zurich

New York, Zurich, Nairobi, New Orleans, Karachi or Entebbe – places where the Zurich artist Ingo Giezendanner has been spending time and drawing during the past few years. Comic-like and in Giezendanner's characteristic style, the works have been collated and presented here in this thick book. Both the detailed sections and the juxtaposition of subject matter have been selected with great precision.

The more concentrated the image of the city, the more detailed the line. That's why the taxi rank in Kampala or the urban vegetation in Zurich are some of the most beautiful pages in this book, together with the observations of smaller municipal components such as advertising hoardings, graffiti or rubbish at the side of the road. (Giovanni Peduto)


6th July 2006, Die Weltwoche, Zurich

Grrrr documents the unspectacular, the city in upheaval, it captures transitoriness – not just of provisional things, such as disused and derelict land, but also the transitoriness of an everyday way of seeing. It is precisely these unsightly views that characterize the city. (...) "urban recordings" is a silent book. (Thomas Kramer)
