Kinbaku is the Japanese word for rope bondage: In the west it is often referred to as Shibari. Although it originated in Japan as a means of restraint and torture, during the last hundred years it has also been used as an activity which gives emotional, physical, and visual pleasure for the participants. Nawashi Murakawa, the Artistic Director of the annual London festival of the Art of Japanese Rope Bondage provides the historical context for the practice which goes back 12000 years. He also explains how Kinbaku has developed as a dramatic art form which is performed in front of audiences in many countries. This series of ten chapters demonstrates how the art of rope bondage has developed in the UK, Russia, Canada and the USA as well as presenting a modern day live performance in Tokyo. The final section shows more traditional Japanese techniques. Chapters with Japanese contributors provide the text in Japanese as well as in English. The stunning and surprising photographs reveal the beauty and daring of the models, and their written accounts together with those of the photographers and rope experts give an insight into the lifestyle of those who practice this particular fetish.

Himmerland gør sig gældende ved sin natur – kør engang en tur på vejen langs Lovns Bredning! – og er kendt fra både historien og kunstens og litteraturens verden: Her blev oldtidsminderne Skarpsallingkarret og Gundestrupkarret fundet i 1891, her boltrede Skipper Clement sig og brændte og hærgede, her er cisterciensernes Vitskøl Kloster og færgen mellem Sundsøre og Hvalpsund, her er Aggersund og herregårde som Lynderupgaard og Hessel, her er Foulum, hvor Martin A. Hansen gik rundt i sit alt for store tøj, her er Frejlev Kirke med Per Kirkebys glasmosaikker og skulptur på kirkegården, og her er Farsø og Johannes V. Jensen og  himmerlandshistorier.

Forfattere skriver ofte deres ord på udvalgte steder. De fleste skriver mange vilkårlige steder, de færreste arbejder livet igennem på det samme sted. Skrivesteder, kunne man kalde dem. Karen Blixen er én blandt meget få forfattere, der har to geografiske lokaliteter uløseligt knyttet til sit navn: Kenya og Danmark. Begge steder er livgivende kilder til hendes værk. Begge steder har sat sine spor direkte og indirekte i bøgerne, men stort set hele hendes litterære værk blev til i arbejdsværelset på Rungstedlund. Det blev hendes sted – Skrivestedet.Bogens forfatter Marianne Wirenfeldt Asmussen har sammen med fotograf Kurt Rodahl Hoppe opsøgt alle stederne, alle detaljerne i Karen Blixens huse i Kenya og Danmark, og søger således at afdække og aftvinge stederne deres betydning, egenart og skønhed. Af og til er de nye farvebilleder bragt i dialog med gamle sort-hvide fotografier fra dengang, Blixen var der, eller de er enkelte steder ledsaget af citater fra forfatterskabet.Skriftdesigner Trine Rask har specialdesignet skriften Karen til denne udgivelse efter studier af Karen Blixens håndskrift. Den benyttes til bogens store citater fra Blixens forfatterskab.Marianne Wirenfeldt Asmussen (f. 1945) er kunsthistoriker og forfatter, grundlægger og tidl. leder af Karen Blixen Museet på Rungstedlund.Kurt Rodahl Hoppe (f. 1961) er fotograf. Har illustreret en lang række bøger om arkitektur og kulturhistorie. I 2017 udgav han fotobogen Bogsteder.

A contemporary reimagining of Alex Webb¿s long out-of-print, limited edition book Dislocations. Recognised as a pioneer of colour photography, Alex Webb is able to juxtapose gesture, colour and contrasting cultural tensions into a single beguiling frame, resulting in evocative images that elevate fractured and multilayered meanings. His book Dislocations, first published in 1998 as a limited edition accordion book with Canon Laser prints (then considered state of the art), brings together pictures from the many disparate locations over Webb¿s oeuvre, meditating on the act of photography as a form of dislocation in itself. Spurred by the pandemic, and its world of closed borders and disrupted travel, Webb reconsidered the impossibility of creating this series of images: the result is this reimagined edition of Dislocations, which includes new photographs taken in the twenty-five years since the original. This characteristically exquisite book brings a fresh perspective to Webb¿s expansive catalogue, and speaks to the palpable sense of dislocation in our time.

Sprachen: Deutsch, Englisch Format: 23,5 x 30 cm , 256 Seiten Einzigartig: Das Standardwerk zur minimalistischen Fotografie! Zeitgemäß und populär: Internationale Newcomer und etablierte minimalistische Fotokünstler Fotoobjekte reduziert auf das Wesentliche als Gegenentwurf zum Chaos in der Welt Für Anhänger des Minimalismustrends und alle, die dem Auge in unserer überladenen Welt eine Pause gönnen möchten Wir leben in turbulenten Zeiten - was bei vielen Menschen die Sehnsucht nach der Reduktion aufs Wesentliche weckt. Der Trend zum Minimalismus spiegelt sich in den Bereichen Wohnen, Umweltbewusstsein und Achtsamkeit wider, aber auch in Kunst und Fotografie. Das Auge des minimalistischen Fotografen lenkt den Blick auf die Ästhetik des Gewöhnlichen und wandelt sie um in etwas Außergewöhnliches, Inspirierendes. Die Fotografien verwenden dabei stets klare Linien, oftmals in geometrischen Kompositionen. Minimalistische Künstler wie Maria Svarbova, Maarten Rots, Matthieu Venot oder Natalie Christensen schöpfen ihre Motive aus dem Alltag. Mal sind es schematische Beschreibungen der Topographie, mal rein flächige, abstrakte Kompositionen. Mal sind sie detailliert, mal weiträumig. Stets geht es darum, zu reduzieren.

Alle kender arbejdstitlen, men få ser sygeplejerskernes verden med fagpersonens øjne. Det er svært at beskrive, hvordan arbejdet er, fordi sygeplejen er vidt forskellig, alt efter i hvilken sektor og afdeling man er ansat. Arbejdet og ansvaret kan i første øjekast se ens ud inden for regionerne og kommunerne hver især, men det er langtfra tilfældet. Lige så snart man kommer inden for sundhedssystemets verden, åbner den sig op. Lag for lag vil nuancerne afsløre sig inden for hvert speciale, afdeling og område. Gennem sort/hvid analog fotografering, leverer Sebastian Strange Nielsen en mulighed for at se, hvor forskellig og unik sygeplejen er fra sted til sted. Han introducerer hvert kapitel i tekst, men lader hovedsageligt sine fotografier stå alene. Sebastian er selv sygeplejerske, og selvom hans værk ikke skal være en faglig fortælling, giver han alligevel indblik i den verden, som de uindviede ikke ser. Om forfatteren Siden 2016 har Sebastian Strange Nielsen arbejdet som sygeplejerske på Odense Universitetshospital, og i 2021 afsluttede han specialuddannelsen til anæstesisygeplejerske. Han blev født i 1992 og har selv lært sig analog fotografering, inden han begyndte på den rejse, som har ledt til den bog, du holder i hånden nu.

Selfies are now arguably the world's most popular form of self-expression

The Day May Break, photographed in Zimbabwe and Kenya in late 2020, is the first part of a global series portraying people and animals that have been impacted by environmental degradation and destruction. The people in the photos were all affected by climate change, displaced by cyclones and years-long droughts. Photographed at five sanctuaries, the animals were rescues that can never be re-wilded. As a result, it was safe for human strangers to be close to them, photographed so close to them, within the same frame. The fog on location is the unifying visual, as we increasingly find ourselves in a kind of limbo, a once-recognizable world now fading from view. However, in spite of their loss, these people and animals are the survivors. And therein lies possibility and hope.NICK BRANDT (*1964) studied film and painting at St. Martin's in London. He turned to photography in 2001 with his trilogy On This Earth, A Shadow Falls, Across the Ravage Land. His more recent bodies of work / books are Inherit the Dust (2016) and This Empty World (2019). He lives in California.
