The Golden Waves is a 355-page photography and science book, written by experts Alessandro Benedetti and Sandro Carniel, in a limited edition of 99 numbered copies.
The book stems from a simple yet fascinating question: where do waves come from?
Through a rigorous yet accessible narrative approach, the authors answer with scientific clarity and analytical depth, offering a comprehensive vision of this marine phenomenon, where art and science meet. The result is a unique publication, where technical knowledge intertwines with the visual beauty of fine photography.
The journey begins in Japan and unfolds through seven stages: Hawaii, Iceland, the Atlantic Arc, the Mediterranean Sea, South Africa and Australia. Each section is accompanied by spectacular photographs by some of the most celebrated international photographers, capturing extraordinary waves in breathtaking natural settings.
Completing the work are original illustrations by Italian painter Tazzuti, who masterfully interprets the language of waves, blending art and science in an exceptional visual balance.
Each cover of The Golden Waves is born as an original sculpture in copper and 24-karat gold: a three-dimensional work of art, where the material narrates the movement of water, capturing it in time. The binding is in blue leather.
The Golden Waves is a collector’s book, designed for those who love the sea, the beauty of nature, photography and fine art publishing. A rare volume that combines scientific narration, artistic images and sculptural craftsmanship to capture the deep soul of the oceans.
