In thirty-two cities across five continents, Swiss photographer
Roger Eberhard booked a standard double room at the local Hilton
and took two photographs: one of the room's interior, always from
the same perspective, and one of the view from the hotel room's
window. The result of this project is Roger Eberhard - Standard, an
unusual urban panorama of sixty-four photographs, reproduced large
enough to make it easy to see the diversity within the uniformity
of one of the world's largest international hotel chains. In this
era of increasing globalisation and commercialisation, Roger
Eberhard - Standard shows that international hotel chains,
restaurants, and similar establishments maintain a remarkably
uniform design - a true standard - that has made many places and
cities feel almost interchangeable. At the same time, they retain
some of their unique characteristics, and Eberhard's photographs
reveal the subtle, yet important, influence of local taste. The
book also contains an essay by German novelist Benedict Wells on
the monotony he feels while staying in successions of hotel rooms
on book tours, as well as essays by art historian Franziska Solte
and curator Nadine Wietlisbach.
