Marco Breuer: Early Recordings
ISBN: 9781597110334 / Angielski / Twarda / 88 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Early Recordings presents the first comprehensive look at the work of the respected, conceptually driven artist, Marco Breuer. Boldly experimental, Breuer uses an extensive and continually evolving range of processes to extract abstract and visually compelling images from photographic paper. Whether it involves placing burning coals on the photographic paper, repeatedly slicing into it or sanding away at the emulsion until holes appear, Breuer's work eviscerates the usual expectations of the camera-less image. The Minimalistic end results are surprisingly exquisite, and this oversized...

Tod Papageorge: American Sports, 1970: Or, How We Spent the War in Vietnam
ISBN: 9781597110501 / Angielski / Twarda / 131 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Coolly observational yet intensely engaging, the immensely influential American photographer Tod Papageorge's American Sports, 1970 draws a subtle but sharp parallel between the war in Vietnam and the American attitude toward spectator sports during a time of conflict. In 1970, a watershed year for popular opinion against the war, Papageorge was awarded a Guggenheim Foundation grant. His ostensible subject--sports and its role in American life--quickly became charged with the political, racial and sexual conflicts ignited by the war. Each and every picture is electric with disquiet....

The first full-length title in English on the celebrated photographer Claude Cahun whose work was rediscovered in the 1980s. This lively and original book looks at Cahun and her oeuvre in the contexts of the turbulent times in which she lived. Surveying standard postmodernist approaches to Cahun, born Lucy Schwob, Doy goes further, positioning Cahun's photographs as part of her life as a woman, lesbian and political activist in the early twentieth century. Doy considers Cahun's relationships with Symbolism and then Surrealism and her approach to dress and masquerade, assessing the...

ISBN: 9781861542762 / Angielski / Miękka / 108 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In "Tunnels," Portuguese photographer Andri Prmncipe explores the boundaries of knowing oneself and others through themes such as isolation and absence. By photographing people from behind, while hiding or through windows, Prmncipe captures images that deal with issues such as loneliness and the difficulty of communicating, while also reflecting on the limits of the photographic medium. This book, the first in a trilogy on the artist's work, is edited like a novel, dealing with abstract, non-pictorial themes that are usually associated with literature or film.

Aura Rosenberg: Head Shots: Photographs by Aura Rosenberg
ISBN: 9781881616566 / Angielski / Miękka / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Aura Rosenberg is concerned with the visible expression of sexual desire. Capturing the moment of orgasm on camera is usually reserved for the voyeur, the hidden witness. What Rosenberg has done is present herself as the public's witness via the camera, inviting a number of men into her studio to reenact the ecstasy of release, the moment when potency and vulnerability coexist. The result is a collection of extraordinary photographs that run the gamut of psychosexual expression. Whether her subjects were really giving their best shot or simply indulging in sublime fakery is just one of the...

More than two centuries since enslaved laborers of West African descent evicted French colonials from Haiti's troubled republic, the lot of rural Haitians has changed little. Life is tied to the exhausted land, worked with a hoe to the cycle of seasons. Inhabitants in the Artibonite Valley, who survive on subsistence forms, live with dignity in the face of deprivation, and find solace in a spiritual synthesis of voudoun and Christianity. Andrea Baldeck came to know this world as a volunteer physician at the Valley's Hopital Albert Schweitzer during the 19080s, returning as a photographer...

Atta Kim: The Museum Project
ISBN: 9781931788557 / Angielski / Twarda / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In The Museum Project, Korean photographer Atta Kim commandeers average scenes--city streets, department stores, freight depots and forests--and turns them into exhibition spaces. On display are people crammed into acrylic boxes, stacked in sets, on end, or sometimes alone. In selecting his subjects and isolating them in their boxes, Kim aims to "detach them from reality; to display and deconstruct at the same time my own concept of the world." Kim compares his efforts to that of an archaeologist, sifting through the cultural strata in order to unearth and hold up exemplary objects for...

Katy Grannan: Model American
ISBN: 9781931788816 / Angielski / Twarda / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Working with ordinary people who answered ads in local papers, posing them in their nondescript homes or unexceptional landscapes and using relatively simple equipment, Katy Grannan alchemizes these factors into extraordinary photographs. Disarming for their directness and for the provocative but casual nudity on display, her pictures capture the spirit of her subjects in the manner of Diane Arbus, but they also draw upon the artificial, posed tableaux of Gregory Crewdson and, indeed, art history. The posture of the tattooed and tanned (and nude) figure in "Mike," a 2003 portrait which...

Photographer David Bailey has said, self-deprecatingly, that Havana -is just a superficial look, not a soul-searching investigation, a quick impression of a place that is unique in its geographical position.- But he reveals the importance of that quick impression and the depth of his understanding when he describes Havana's -unique position---with surreal accuracy--as -much closer to the United States of America than the space station is.- Both are places ordinary Americans cannot visit. To be one of the poorest nations on Earth, almost within spitting distance of the richest makes the...

Eugen Wiskovsky
ISBN: 9788072152667 / Angielski / Miękka / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The oeuvre of the leading Czech avant-garde photographer Eugen Wiskovsky (1888-1964) is not large in size or subject range, but it is noteworthy in its originality, depth of ideas, and mastery. Wiskovsky's early New Objectivist works, from the late 1920s and early 1930s, sought artistic effect in apparently nonaesthetic objects: His inventive lighting and cropping allowed their elementary lines to stand out, to lose their worldly associations and take on potential metaphorical meanings. In his dynamic diagonal compositions, Wiskovsky was among the most radical practitioners of Czech...
