It is also about the long summer of 1998 and young photographer Misha Kominek’s encounter with one of his major childhood fantasies. By the late 1990s, Lloret de Mar had developed a reputation as a holiday paradise for Central and Eastern European tourists eager for beach and sun. Long before the advent of low-cost air travel, this small but densely constructed coastal town in northern Catalonia became the target destination for young, penniless couples in love, teenagers celebrating their graduation from school, single men seeking amorous adventures and large families looking for affordable vacations. While Russians—currently Lloret’s most wealthy visiting community—predominate today, it used to be filled with Germans from the former East Germany, Czechs, Poles and many others. They would endure an infernal two to three-day trip by car or coach through a multitude of international borders, languages and currencies just to savor their small spot in heaven...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"bodytext\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eStrangers in Paradise\u003c\/i\u003e consists of recollections of that moment of conclusion and reunion, the reunion of a wandering outsider with his own people in utopia, the discovery of the missing parts of his identity, its completion and the sweet acceptance of strangeness.

The pages of A Minor Wrongdoing unfold as a\u2028hypnotic sequence of candid shots taken at the\u2028 neighbourhood of St. Georg in Hamburg, between 2011\u2028and 2014. Hundreds of them, they record the last remains \u2028of street life in an urban area that is currently under going \u2028fierce gentrification after recent official law enforcement \u2028against street-based prostitution. Malmström used a cheap\u2028 digital camera forcing its ISO levels to reproduce in each\u2028 scene the raw effect of a surveillance cam. The grainy\u2028 monochromatic material of his voyeuristic enterprise has\u2028 been put together in this voluminous book replicating a \u2028messy police report archive. Printed in sharp dots, the grain \u2028adds a grade of unprecedented abstraction and beauty to\u2028 the sequence whereas the quantity of images breaks with\u2028the conventional linear story structure. There is an uncanny\u2028feel in it. And obsession: the unconfessed obsession of a\u2028photographer who happened to be in the right place at the\u2028right time. We do not get to see much of what he\u2028 photographed but we can still imagine pretty much\u2028 happening in this obscure underworld of transactions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"bodytext\"\u003e-\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"shop-cart-widget\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"put-to-cart\"\u003e\u003cform method=\"post\" name=\"item_615\" action=\"index.php?id=11\u0026amp;tx_ttproducts_pi1%5BbackPID%5D=14\u0026amp;cHash=69cdbe22bd\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-note2\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"bodytext\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eFinnish photographer Henrik Malmström (b.1983) currently lives and works in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Now that the party is over, these bars have turned into mausoleums of the good old times and fading testimonies of a quartier that is frenetically changing under the effect of gentrification and the ban on street prostitution. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHenrik Malmström was curious to know what was actually happening inside these places. So, he started frequenting them. For four years, he befriended regulars, bartenders and clients. He became one of them. Then a sort of photo metamorphosis happened through the life in the bars of St. Georg. Like a cockroach, his camera, started crawling on the floor recreating what it feels like after a night of solitary rounds. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBalloons, velvet cushions, faded wallpaper and champagne –decayed fragments of the old fancy times, all shot with flashlight, all in close-up. They could perfectly be the snaps of a drunkard. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd then, it’s people. Living characters. Life’s rebels. Moralists call them the prostitutes, pimps, underdogs and petty criminals of Hamburg’s streets of shame. But, in fact, what they are is common people living their lives the best they can. Just like everyone they want to hang out, have fun and some beer. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSomewhere between the bittersweet fatalism of Rainer Werner Fassbinder and the deadpan mien aesthetics of Aki Kaurismäki, Malmström recreates in colour a contemporary “Café Lehmitz”. Its ambience is imbued with visual stylization and a warm-hearted emotional immediacy towards its people who just want to be left in peace and “drink their bitter cup of broken dreams”, as the famous Finnish tango artist Olavi Virta sings.

In her works she discovers and celebrates primacy of sexuality, intimacy, and empowerment through femininity.\u003cbr\u003eIn her latest body of work she photographs queer women in the former USSR. This series of black and white pictures is supposed to reflect the sensation of disillusionment for a large group of people of Margo’s generation who believed in a possibility that their nations would embrace queerness as such and the hostility towards it will gradually come to an end. To keep the conversation going, Margo addresses the lack of cultural memory available for queer women in post-soviet world. Having been overshadowed by heterosexual mainstream, queerness - and especially female one - in the former USSR, always remained a current event with no history, with almost no visual legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"bodytext\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eMargo approaches this issue with an attempt to bring what could be this legacy upon modern-day queer portrait. Her main tool is posing, derivative of a soviet-era female body representation, with sport-related imaging being the most direct inspiration. The idea of physical tension under intangible circumstances - as in both competition and oppression - is a backbone for the whole series as well as some of Margo’s earlier works. Her childhood background in gymnastics first led to her project called Furious Like a Child, dealing with an issue of forced exposure of female body in sports. This time she uses a somewhat reversed approach - inherently sexualized subject of queerness is shown through supposedly asexual posing and overall aesthetics reminiscent of Soviet-era propaganda.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"bodytext\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eThis way the visual identity of female queerness leans toward powerfulness, yet remains in the realm of attractiveness with the latter being a most potent device for female empowerment in Margo’s work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Margo Ovcharenko","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":17427285180486,"sku":"","price":34.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0063\/0315\/4246\/products\/cover_margo_shop.jpg?v=1541102492"},{"product_id":"relacion-signed","title":"RELACIÓN - signed","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product-subtitle\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-subtitle\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-subtitle\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-subtitle\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-subtitle\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e In Stock\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-subtitle\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eMadrid 2018. ed. by Miguel Wandschneider \/ text Patrizia Dander \u0026amp; Brian Sholis. 23 x 33 cm. \/ 96 pages \/ 31 images., softocover \/ Text engl. \u0026amp; span.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-subtitle\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e-\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"beschreibung\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"bodytext\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe work of Jochen Lempert (Germany, 1958) engages with photography from the optic of research and visuality, very often with the intention of questioning the criteria behind a search for the truth and the models that shape the world. The artist portrays the animal world in the most varied contexts: ranging from the natural habitat to Natural History museums, from the zoo to the city, in remote locations or in banal situations and objects. In his tireless quest, Lempert has managed to create a vast archive of images that covers a wide spectrum spanning everything from everyday views to compositions that tend more towards abstraction. !This interest in the natural world as subject matter is coupled with an exhaustive examination of the properties and materiality of the photographic image. Analogue, in black and white, and developed in the darkroom, his photos refuse to be categorised and are removed from contemporary aesthetic canons.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jochen Lempert","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":17431613145158,"sku":"","price":48.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0063\/0315\/4246\/products\/Cover_Relacion_SHOP.jpg?v=1541108673"},{"product_id":"alexander-signed","title":"Alexander - signed","description":"\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003epre-order\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eships mid November 2018\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e144+20 pages, 43 plates, 207x263 mm,\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eoffset print on Munken Lynx 150gsm,\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003ehard cover, hand-coloured edges\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSelf-published in edition of 750 copies, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e30+3AP in portfolio edition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eDesigned by Olga Łacna \/ \u003cspan\u003eIFF\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eText authors: Marek Matyjanka, Micha\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eł Murawski\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProject supported by Calvert 22 Foundation, FIDAL, Docking Station and Arctic Paper Polska\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Alexander” is a story based on the relationship between politics, history and culture, centred around the construction of a national myth in the (Former Yugoslav) Republic of Macedonia – a state with no name, fixated on a dispute about origins so distant that they may have never existed at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Michal Siarek","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":17500028862534,"sku":"","price":58.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0063\/0315\/4246\/products\/alexander_cover_shop.jpg?v=1541157321"},{"product_id":"i-am-not-i","title":"I AM NOT I","description":"\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eLimited Edition of 500\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e64 Pages\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e240  X 330 mm\u003cbr\u003eprinted duo tone on uncoated paper\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e-\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003em Not I brings together 33 tritone images from Boris Mikhailov's iconic series of self portraits made as the Soviet Union collapsed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"In describing the genesis of I Am Not I in the political context of the aftermath of the collapse of the Soviet state, Mikhailov has suggested that he was performing a kind of anti-heroic riposte to the muscular confidence of Soviet-era monumental iconography.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI Am Not I, a thoroughly unacceptable series of propositions on masculinity, libido and the egoideal, is not only an artist’s performance for the camera, but a deliberately self-cancelling account of the impossible contradictions of authorship and identity.\"\u003cbr\u003eExtract from text by Simon Baker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI AM NOT I is an iconic series of self-portraits made by Boris Mikhailov in the early 1990s right after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Acting for the camera, the artist plays the role of an antiheroic figure contrasting with the strong and masculine stereotype previously connected with the regime, whose echo reverberates through he pure and sober black and white adopted for every imagers. Mikhailov, who always investigated the boundaries of photography and its connections with other disciplines, here combines it with the atmosphere and the grammar of theatre. The viewers attend a performance that is reminiscent of the tradition of the Theatre of the Absurd, with the protagonist alone, naked, and handling a sex toy in every possible way. Although his irrational behaviour might at first glance appear like an act of celebration and relief at the end of a a grim era, through repetition it soon turns into an allegory of fear for an uncertain future - it seems like a performance for itself and the camera. The photographic frame is the prison of the performer who, unlike the photographer, cannot look beyond the dark cloth behind him.\u003cbr\u003eBoris Mikhailov(B. 1938 in Charow, Ukraine) is one of the most important chroniclers of the everyday life of a (post-) Soviet society. Mikhailov studied electrical engineering at Charkov University of Technology and initially worked as an engineer, before starting to take photographs as a self-taught artist in the late 1960s. The early series of the 1960s and 70s often show personal pictures of friends, acquaintances or partners of the artist. The world in his pictures is always unadorned and rough - everyday scenes, poverty, sexuality, despair, resignation, decay of a forgetting Eastern Europe. Mikhailov is always dedicated to the outcasts of society. His works have been presented in numerous solo and group exhibitions worldwide, most recently in the Sprengel Museum, Hannover (2013), in the Berlinische Galerie, Berlin (2012), in the Museum of Modern Art, New York (2011), the Tate Modern, London (2010), the Kunsthalle Wien (2010) and the Ukrainian Pavilion at the Venice Biennale (2007).

Having spent several years based in West Berlin, the Iron Curtain was a looming presence and Kitajima had often contemplated turning his lens towards the Soviet regime although the difficulties associated therein—censorship, freedom of access, and overwhelming bureaucracy—seemed insurmountable. And so it was, with a mix of anticipation and trepidation, that Kitajima entered the USSR in November 1990 to capture a moment in time where the winds of change roared at a howling pace.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrough Glasnost and Perestroika, reforms ushered in by Mikhail Gorbachev, the media—both foreign and domestic— was granted far more access than ever before to Soviet society.

With these competing perspectives, Kitajima focussed on people and landscapes, or more often, people in their own landscape. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile Kitajima’s is often known for its high contrast black and white photography,\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eUSSR 1991\u003c\/em\u003e differs greatly as it was photographed with the now defunct Kodacrome slide film, and offers a stunning, painterly account of his travels. Kitajima’s artfulness is ever present—this is not formulaic documentarian photography, or front line correspondence from a hard-boiled photojournalist. Here there are hard shadows from flash bulbs and a vivid technicolor applied to a part of the world that was often perceived as dark, grey and grim. While there are de-rigeur ruins of industry, giant colorless stacks whose purpose is never clear from afar, they sit in stark contrast to vivid blue skies.

Until the fall of the socialist regime it was called “Máj”: the month of May. Nowadays the fifth month of the year is referred to in Czech as “květen”. “Máj” is an older word that has a romantic quality and is closely associated with a famous poem of the same name by Karel Hynek Mácha written in 1836. In 1996 the British supermarket chain Tesco purchased the store, renaming it “My” in 2009. If this name is interpreted as an English word, then it refers to an individual. It is surely no coincidence that this English name sounds much the same as the old Czech one. If pronounced, however, according to Czech phonetics, which no one ever does, it sounds quite different. Then it means “we” and refers to a collective. Since 2017 Tesco has been selling off some of its stores in the Czech Republic because of financial losses. In spring of 2018 the department store “My” was also sold. Photographed in Prague from November 2015 to June 2018\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stephanie Kiwitt","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":20009512108102,"sku":"","price":28.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0063\/0315\/4246\/products\/master_cover_2ab39d3a-2f4a-4a6e-a43a-ac8a3a040926.jpg?v=1548690000"},{"product_id":"ravenna","title":"RAVENNA ( 2nd.

They repaint, renovate, rebrand, and rearrange, gestures which point to the desires and anxieties of people who are being left behind as our thumbs lead us into the new economy.

The photobook “Exposure” depicts the first 30 years of life of an invisible girl who suffers ongoing medical problems as a result of the disaster. The images were created by using old Ukrainian colour negative film which was found in the abandoned city of Pripyat. Another photobook, “Everlasting,” captured the commute of the ChNPP’s workers between their hometown and the plant as a metaphor for the cycle of repetition.

Hido photographs the interior rooms of repossessed tract homes, and the outsides of similar houses at night whose habitation is suggested by the glow of a television set or unseen overhead bulb. Seldom does the similar evoke such melancholy. Yet rather than passing judgment on his anonymous subjects, Hido manages to turn the banal into something beautiful, imbuing his prints of interiors with soft pastels, and allowing the exteriors to glow in the cool evening air.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA newly remastered edition of Todd Hido’s iconic and highly sought-after first monograph, \u003cem\u003eHouse Hunting\u003c\/em\u003e is published to celebrate the upcoming 20th anniversary of this important book – certainly one of the most influential and oft-cited photography monographs of our time.

As Waits has said, “For the most part, we are disconnected from the underlying mechanisms of the system in which we live.

Libuše Jarcovjáková's work is an authentic record of the life of a photographer who experienced everything she shot. She uses a personal, clearly-composed style, mixing the raw with the poetic. The street, night, sex, work, alcohol, love, and depression are captured with a self-destructive lack of restraint. Unafraid of imperfection, she portrays the world around her, other people, and her feelings of apparent hopelessness with unwavering honesty. Snapshots seemingly taken without forethought, mostly using flash, at angles in which the subject has no opportunity to escape or notice that they have become the victim of the uncompromising and predatory lens.The book was presented at the exhibition of the same name at the photo festival \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.rencontres-arles.com\/en\/expositions\/view\/756\/libuse-jarcovjakova\"\u003eLes Rencontres d’Arles 2019\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"content_q3n20ll8l\" data-module=\"paragraph\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-content-for=\"xl\"\u003ePhoto Edit \u0026amp; Sequencing \/ Lucie Černá\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"content_lsx2331c2\" data-module=\"paragraph\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-content-for=\"xl\"\u003eTexts \/ Libuše Jarcovjáková, Lucie Černá\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"content_8wxf4l5f3\" data-module=\"paragraph\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-content-for=\"xl\"\u003eGraphic design \/ Ania Nałęcka-Milach\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"content_62pfr46e2\" data-module=\"paragraph\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-content-for=\"xl\"\u003eTypeset with Sonny Gothic and Madrone Std\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"content_je8s8aw4a\" data-module=\"paragraph\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-content-for=\"xl\"\u003eDust-cover \/ Keaykolour Deep Black 300 gsm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"content_ysjzelsn7\" data-module=\"paragraph\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-content-for=\"xl\"\u003ePrinted on papers \/ Super Dull \u0026amp; Burano\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"content_id2ses86w\" data-module=\"paragraph\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-content-for=\"xl\"\u003eHot stamping\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"content_gtz8bf7s7\" data-module=\"paragraph\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-content-for=\"xl\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eColored edges \/ black and red\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Libuse Jarcovjakova","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31100062728266,"sku":"","price":55.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0063\/0315\/4246\/products\/evokativ_title_back.jpg?v=1572612430"},{"product_id":"delta-signed","title":"Delta - signed","description":"\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eIN STOCK\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eSize: 145 x 305 mm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003ePages: 112\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eFormat: hardcover\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eEdition: 500 numbered copies,\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003esigned C-print (115 x 150 mm)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eLanguage: English Illustration: in colour \u0026amp; b\/w Text: Håkan Wahlquist, Pierre Bessard Book Design: Hannah Modigh, Cyrielle Molard\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e-\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\"Some branches continue, some dry out, the traces left behind. This is how we float, like a delta. My grandmother was 100 years old when she died, shortly thereafter my child was born. The feeling that death was replaced with life and the course of generation became apparent. Delta is about time, I have been for five years obsessed by taking pictures of time. I have searched for traces depicting the presence of an absence, where life and death vibrates under a fragile border towards the outside world. I want to convey the silence of things that are not said, everyday situations with a death awareness sounding them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e..All humans are certainly faced by lived experiences that in some way must be related to what we express as “time”. Basically we experience time in two different ways. On the one hand it consists of a seemingly endless series of repetitions; between day and night, summer and winter, waxing and waning moon, fertile and infertile periods, ebb and flood. On the other hand we experience time as something irreversible. As humans we know that we were borne and that we will surely die, that life progresses in a way that we cannot control. All these movements through time, linear as well as circular ones, are marked and communicated by certain powerful means at our disposal; rituals. They are powerful because they draw on so many more meaningful systems of symbols than just languages…\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDelta is not about individuals or places, but about fragmentary images to illustrate the feeling that everyone is part of a root system and the images are symbols of an involvement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMy way of working is that I a lot of the time coexist with the people I photograph, usually people I never meet before. I'm drawn to photograph abandoned skin and wounded nature. The link between man and nature is always present. My photographic research focus on the relationship between places and human being.

His carefully composed portraits of men, women and children of family owned farms are surprisingly small, as he prints them as contacts from his 8×10 inch color- or black-and-white negatives. As a result they can be reproduced in full size in this book. The light, the backgrounds, the posture, the body language, the gaze of the portrayed people shaped by physical labour are central elements of his quiet images, which document the past, and present and question the future of the still small-scale, family driven, village structures in todays more and more industrialised and globalised agricultural world.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eFrancesco Neri (*1982) is Professor of Photography at the Institute for Graphic Design in Faenza and a member of the AA School of Architecture, London.

The images related to the work of both Arbus and August Sander, two impeccable precedents, yet displayed an authoritative voice of their own. Their subject matters, adolescents in bathing suits, was edgy, but was handled by Dijkstra with sensitivity. Furthermore, the rigor of het presentation demonstrated an intellectual clarity and ambition that was enough to announce a major new voice in portraiture, possible the trickiest of photographic genres to bring off successfully”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rineke Dijkstra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31757409124426,"sku":"","price":490.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0063\/0315\/4246\/products\/IMG_8185_2_cover.jpg?v=1581694112"},{"product_id":"communism-and-cowgirls","title":"Communism and Cowgirls","description":"\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: New\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e-\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003ePublisher: Self-published, 2004\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eHardcover: 114pp including 1 fold-out page\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eDimensions: 20,6 x 25,5 cm (8 1\/8 x 10 in.)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eLanguage: English\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003ePrint run: 250 copies\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eFirst publication by Rob Hornstra.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e-\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eCommunism \u0026amp; Cowgirls deals with the first Russian generation growing up after the decline of communism.

Other settings include the crumbling corners of East and West European cities, private bedrooms and public hospitals, gardens and night bars. In more than 200 photographic diptychs, Mikhailov creates a view of reality that changes over the pages of this book, a passage between times. Partly documenting and partly staging his subjects, he draws historical, human, technological, and cultural connections, while at the same time creating a distance from a purely narrative reading, from the immediate reality of what can be seen, by playfully stressing formal correlations between motifs on the pages. Where earlier artist’s books by Mikhailov, such as Case History and \u003cem\u003eUnfinished Dissertation,\u003c\/em\u003e were true classics of the genre, exploring life on Ukrainian streets or under Soviet rule; now, with \u003cem\u003eTemptation of Life,\u003c\/em\u003e the artist offers something like a philosophical résumé on the spirituality of the everyday and the perishability of all flesh and consumer waste, on sex, life, and death.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Boris Mikhailov","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31788295979082,"sku":"","price":250.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0063\/0315\/4246\/products\/cover_585eb038-4959-41d5-aa93-6cc757b3eccb.jpg?v=1582707315"},{"product_id":"meloni-meloni-signed","title":"Meloni Meloni - signed","description":"\u003cdiv style=\"margin: 0px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"content_row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eHardback, 1st edition 2020\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eFormat: 24 x 17 cm. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePages: 192.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eImages: 119 images in Duotone.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eLanguage: Short introduction in Swedish, Italian and English. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eCover: Hard cover.

It is also about the long summer of 1998 and young photographer Misha Kominek’s encounter with one of his major childhood fantasies. By the late 1990s, Lloret de Mar had developed a reputation as a holiday paradise for Central and Eastern European tourists eager for beach and sun. Long before the advent of low-cost air travel, this small but densely constructed coastal town in northern Catalonia became the target destination for young, penniless couples in love, teenagers celebrating their graduation from school, single men seeking amorous adventures and large families looking for affordable vacations. While Russians—currently Lloret’s most wealthy visiting community—predominate today, it used to be filled with Germans from the former East Germany, Czechs, Poles and many others. They would endure an infernal two to three-day trip by car or coach through a multitude of international borders, languages and currencies just to savor their small spot in heaven...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"bodytext\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eStrangers in Paradise\u003c\/i\u003e consists of recollections of that moment of conclusion and reunion, the reunion of a wandering outsider with his own people in utopia, the discovery of the missing parts of his identity, its completion and the sweet acceptance of strangeness. Far from being anchored in clichés, this book offers a revealing insight of what lies beneath tourism, globalization, souvenirs and folklore. In lyrical terms, the photographer exposes the tender innocence and sheer, ecstatic beauty of northernbodies overexposed to the sun, unlocking a register of unspoken illusions and dreams fulfilled after years of reclusion. The images remind us how thrilling and sublime vacations once were.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Misha Kominek","offers":[{"title":"A ( Buried )","offer_id":32017468358730,"sku":"","price":350.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"B ( Couple )","offer_id":32017468391498,"sku":"","price":350.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"C ( Pool )","offer_id":32017468424266,"sku":"","price":350.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"D ( Woman )","offer_id":32017468457034,"sku":"","price":350.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"E ( Sangria )","offer_id":32017468489802,"sku":"","price":350.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0063\/0315\/4246\/products\/ltd_sip_COVER_shopify.jpg?v=1588350833"},{"product_id":"suicidal-birds-siged-copy","title":"Suicidal Birds - signed copy","description":"\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003ePhotographs and poem © Sebastian Rogowski\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eEdit and sequencing: Rafał Milach\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eBook design © Ania Nałęcka \/ Tapir Book Design\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003ePrint run: 500 copies 236x285 mm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eSelf-published\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eFirst edition Bydgoszcz, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e-\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center; white-space: pre-wrap;\" class=\"\"\u003e\"I've never hit an animal while driving before. Neither a dog, nor a fox, nor a hare. Not even once for 20 years a bird smashed into my windshield. And, suddenly, \"boom\"! Smack after smack, a dozen, if not dozens of bird bodies drop beneath the dust of cloud on a gravel road. First time in my life, here in Kazakhstan. Then the second, third, until it became a common sight. I saw tiny sparrows, number of large birds, also giant eagles laying down. It certainly wasn’t a coincidence.

No specific destination, no marked points on the map, no arranged accommodation. The goal was to be on the road. Curving around mighty Altai and Tien Shan mountains, surrounded by incredibly blue lakes, or simply running straight across boundless steppes. People accidentally met on the road were also the aim. Kind and hospitable like nowhere else, but also proud and raw, shaped by the hardships of communist era. Finally, the goal was to spend these few months behind the wheel, to fulfil the childhood dream of being on the road. So that I could make the time stop. So that I could capture everything I saw in a book.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sebastian Rogowski","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32028488794186,"sku":"","price":58.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0063\/0315\/4246\/products\/XPR7932_cover.jpg?v=1588713529"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0063\/0315\/4246\/collections\/mopopojat_berlin.jpg?v=1548422837","url":"https:\/\/www.kominekominekominek.shop\/collections\/all-books.oembed?page=35","provider":"Kominek ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
