What is it that makes a place distinctive? A kind of stubbornness perhaps? How can this quality be accessed through text and artistic research?These questions are explored by Tobias Becker, Elisabeth Brun, Stefanie Bürkle, Knut Ebeling, Alex Gross, Carla Hinrichs, David Karl, Lars Ostenfeld, Ulrike Ottinger, Lola Randl, Emily Strange, Zsuzsanna Toth, Katrin Wegemann, Lawson Wood and Dong Zhou, who bring their varied disciplines to bear on the matter.

"An exceptional landscape photographer celebrates the west coast of Buzzards Bay, from Onset to Westport, with New Bedford at the center."

Sonja Trabandt's project BEFANGEN deals with the personal desire of breaking free from social norms, cultural or social barriers or even evolutionary processes. Strong colors meet surrealistic abstracted metaphors of vague human feelings. There is no stringent storyline, no continuous series. The book's layout shows a flow of subsequent and interwoven images. They create bright disharmonies with neither a question nor an answer. With her intuitive imagery Trabandt invites the viewer into her slightly melancholic wonderland, depicting her very personal idea of freedom.

The Light Across is Chris Klatell's personal reflection on the act of looking at lighthouses at night, as they send their beams across the water. Simultaneously a work of history, a philosophical inquiry and a travelogue, the book questions how we think about similarity and difference in an era of rapid and destabilizing change. Structured as a rotation, like the spinning lens of a lighthouse, the work follows Klatell and the photographer Donovan Wylie as they circumnavigate Ireland and Britain, scrambling over rocks to capture flashes from the opposing shore. The camera and the lighthouse lens, born out of similar developments in nineteenth-century optical theory, emerge as mirrors, structuring identity along the axes of time and distance. The text explores both the difficulty of making these images, and the difficulties the images cause, once made.Ranging from ancient Alexandria to Northern Ireland during the Troubles, from Virginia Woolf to Enid Blyton, and from J. M. W. Turner to Eadweard Muybridge, Klatell's lighthouses flicker between acts of engineering to guide ships and warn them of danger, to symbolic gestures. Unions and disunions, joinders and separations pile up; Brexit, Covid and Trump come and go; promises to children are made, broken and redeemed. History and literature offer a path, then yank it away. Through it all, the lighthouse flashes on, ambivalent and obsolete, revealing we may not always be the character in a novel we imagined ourselves to be.

In Association with Grand Canyon Conservancy and National Audubon Society. Through photography and essays, this book is a celebration of one of America’s most valuable and iconic rivers and a warning demonstrating the river is a bellwether of overuse and climate change.America’s Western water crisis is now newsworthy on a global level, and the Colorado River is in the crosshairs. The Colorado River is the most comprehensive look at this challenged resource that supplies drinking water to forty million Americans and supports five percent of the country’s GDP.While acclaimed photographer Pete McBride has covered water worldwide and been dubbed a “freshwater hero” by National Geographic, he now brings us home to his deepest passion: saving his backyard river, the Colorado. For two decades, McBride has documented the Colorado River, from source to sea and always with a camera in hand.Through McBride’s photography and his own words, as well as essays on climate change and river overuse, we witness the stark reality of our water crisis but also the remarkable beauty and resilience of this ephemeral source of life.

Over the years, the Lord has taken WG Waltz's passion for hiking and photography and has turned it into a wonderful type of ministry where he is able to share his experiences on God's green earth with readers all over the world through social media, personal testimony, and now, through this devotional. Waltz's A Hiker's Perspective Through HIS Eyes artfully combines one man's many journeys to God's beautifully crafted natural masterpieces with scriptural reflection and prayer. What started out as Waltz wanting to share with others the beautiful sights the Lord has blessed us to see has now become a passion to also share His love with so many others through His beautiful creation. Behind every photograph is a story thoughtfully told by the Lord that suggests both the past and the future to come, and Waltz seeks to show us how to change our perspective so we may see the bigger picture. It is in nature that we can experience His presence so richly and unearth the lessons that His creation holds, and God has blessed us with senses so that we may fully experience the world around us that He so lovingly created. It's Waltz's hope that the words and photographs upon these pages bless you as deeply as they have blessed him, for what we don't see in these pictures is on the other side of the horizon. May God favor you and guide you through these days, weeks, and months to come.

Ever wondered how to get that 'cloud' effect? Or how those old masters made their seas rage and their land flow? It's called 'sfumato'. "Sfumato" translated into English means soft, vague or blurred. Leonardo da Vinci used it to famous effect with the Mona Lisa's smile, but it can also be - and is - used in painting many other subjects. As both a writer and an artist, how words translate into images has always fascinated Debrah. Known best for her award-winning psychological thrillers and literary fiction, she was originally an artist and now her words and images collide in this sfumato book of atmospheric painting peppered with lyrical poetry and prose inspired by the images as step by step, Debrah demonstrates how she paints those sfumato skies and powerful seascapes. Ever wanted to learn how to paint, but also be beguiled and inspired as you do so? Here's how...

In 1989 my husband Bill and I moved to a small town in France called La Varenne-Saint-Hilaire, a suburb southeast of Paris. Before leaving the States, Bill gifted me with a Nikon N2020 35mm film camera. We moved into a lovely home, three houses up from the Marne River that flows nearby. I loaded up my backpack with water, lots of film, and the desire to explore our new location. I spent hours in my darkroom developing my photos while Chewy, our cat, waited outside the door.Living in France was truly magical. The things those old buildings have seen and heard. Too bad they can't talk. Getting lost was typically unfortunate for anyone but not for me in Paris. I wandered endlessly and stumbled upon something new every time. Maybe because I knew this was not our permanent home, it made every day much more special.A feeling of awe would wash over me as I walked down an alleyway or some random cobblestone street as I let my mind wander and imagined some of the greatest minds ever had walked these same streets.Of course, we explored the obligatory things one must see and do-Versailles, Provence, Chantilly, etc. But we also visited towns we had never heard of, or someone from work would tell us, "You must see this place," and off we'd go. Sometimes a coin had to be flipped to see if we went left or right. We were never disappointed. It was like discovering something new-the sights, smells, and sounds different from one another-a photographer's paradise.Those were beautiful days that I would never forget; days spent exploring and appreciating the beauty of life all around me through my lens-capturing memories that will last forever in my mind's eye.The photos in this book are just some of the stories I wanted to share. Maybe they'll remind you of vacations taken, that first kiss, or when you walked down those same cobblestone streets or watched the sunset while drinking an espresso at a sidewalk cafe. Perhaps they'll inspire you to get out more and explore the world around you.

This catalogue accompanies the exhibition Frank Bowling: Landscape at Hauser & Wirth West Hollywood. The book is lavishly illustrated and includes foldouts of artwork details. It features an essay from art historian Dorothy Price, which focuses on the dialogue between Bowling's and Turner's work. Price notes that "gestural sweeps and vast horizon lines bind these artists across time.? Bowling's invention of "a new sublime? is subsequently explored through the link between Blackness and the sublime that has existed since the eighteenth century. She also notes that the incorporation of found objects?plastic spiders, hospital equipment, and the nozzle from a spray can among them?plays a key role in Bowling's dialogue with the history of abstraction.
