Includes bibliographical references (pages 148-149) and index.Beneath the surface -- Human habitation & exploitation -- Underwater worlds -- Imagined underground worlds -- Subliminal realms."A darkly evocative compendium of images exploring natural, constructed, imaginary and subconscious underworlds, curated by renowned image collector and social media figure Stephen Ellcock. From the burrows and secret bunkers beneath our feet to imagined hellscapes and surrealist dreamscapes, the disquieting, alarming and wonderful visuals span natural and constructed subterranea and imagined and subconscious worlds. A personal introduction by Stephen together with contextual chapter introductions establish the key themes, while supplementary texts elucidate essential concepts, historical events and figures. Thought-provoking literary, philosophical and spiritual quotations punctuate the intriguing images. Together, the images and authoritative text highlight the interplay between the real and the imagined, revealing how the real has fed our fears and hopes and informed our imagination - and conversely, how our imagination has depicted the esoteric, the abject and the unknown"--Publisher's description.

Unter der Erde : von Kafka bis Kippenberger / by Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen (Germany),issuing body.(CARDINAL)273805;
Inspiriert durch die Literatur, die Erfahrungen der beiden Weltkriege oder in Auseinandersetzung mit realen Höhlen, Gräbern, Grotten und Tunneln bearbeiten bildende Künstler im 20. und 21. Jahrhundert verstärkt und auf vielfältige Weise das Motiv der Verlagerung des Lebensraumes unter die Erde. Henry Moore skizziert während des Blitzkriegs 1941 die in den U-Bahn-Schächten Schutz suchenden Einwohner Londons, Bruce Nauman vergräbt in den 1970er-Jahren eine Betonkammer, deren Inneres nur durch eine Kamera einsehbar ist, Peter Fischli und David Weiss inszenieren in ihrem Kanalvideo dokumentarisches Bildmaterial aus der Zürcher Kanalisation und Gregor Schneider baut bedrückende, schallisolierte Räume. Das Buch vereint 14 Positionen zwei der Moderne und zwölf der zeitgenössischen Kunst. Die unterschiedlichen Auslegungen der Künstler stellen den Untergrund als konkreten Ort oder als fiktive Idee dar und verweisen auf dessen utopischen respektive anti-utopischen Charakter. Direkte und indirekte Bezüge zu literarischen Bildern des Untergrunds werden in den Begleittexten anschaulich erläutert. Interviews mit ausgewählten Künstlern geben Einblick in die motivischen Hintergründe. Exhibition: Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen, Düsseldorf, Germany (5.4.-10.8.2014).Includes bibliographical references.

Underground cities : mapping the tunnels, transits and networks underneath our feet / by Ovenden, Mark,1963-author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 218-219) and index.With over 60 per cent of the world's population living in cities, the networks beneath our feet - which keep the cities above moving - are more important than ever before. Yet we never truly see how these amazing feats of engineering work. Just how deep do the tunnels go? Where do the sewers, bunkers and postal trains run? And, how many tunnels are there under our streets? Each featured city presents a 'skyline of the underground' through specially commissioned cut-away illustrations and unique cartography. Drawing on geography, cartography and historical oddities, Mark Ovenden explores what our cities look like from the bottom up.
