Lebendiger Stahl (Living Steel) – Kurt Blum and Michele Parrella

Lebendiger Stahl (‘Living Steel’) is a rare, historically significant industrial photobook published in 1960. The accompanying poetic text was written by the Italian poet Michele Parrella, while the photography was captured by the prominent Swiss photographer Kurt Blum. The book serves as the German-language edition of the original 1959 Italian photobook titled ‘Immagine di una fabbrica’ (Image of a Factory).
