With the first appointment of the outstanding performance artist Marina Abramovic to the Pina Bausch Professorship at the Folkwang University of the Arts, the focus in the 2023-23 academic year was placed on transdisciplinarity, artistic daring and social awareness.The project supervised by Abramovic, entitled "Free Interdisciplinary Performance Laboratory (FIPL)", was realised in a class put together by her, in which she brought together over 20 students from the fields of music (classical and jazz, instrumental, vocal and composition), dance, design, photography, (physical) theatre and directing. The students developed individual or collective concepts for performances and learnt how to develop a long-term performative work form in an experience-based process. In a workshop entitled "Cleaning the House", which was organised according to a method developed by Marina Abramovicmethod developed by Marina Abramovic, the students developed a sense of the presence required in performances, including the exploration of their individual physical and mental limits. The outstanding performance artist Marina Abramovic was the first holder of the new Pina Bausch Professorship at the Folkwang University of the Arts in Essen in 2022/23.

If photos are messages, then Hans Fahrmeyer is one of the most prolificmessengers of today and of classic times. From his apprentice days oflearning his photography craft in the lost art of darkroom developing, youknow this man wrestle more out of an image than most emerging and longtime photographers. It's his use of lens, light, experience and passionwhich massages his images to an unexpected portrayal.But Mr. Fahrmeyer is also part sociologist , psychologist, comedian and lifecoach. Watching him in the studio or on location, he can either be the flyon the wall when he has to be, or the sorcerer, pulling out the best of thetalent in front of his lens.His latest book, Water Moves, is an illuminating dance of beautiful maleimages married with mirrors, water, sensuality and balance. There's ablend of powerful images with technical insight. The images becomeforceful yet arresting. He has produced a collection that mixes thecasualness of the snapshot with the artistry of classical photographer.His subjects capture the eye for their immediacy, beauty, and movement.His three previous books (Colors of Men, Between Men and Women, andBetween Men) reflect his stylization. But the new images in Water Movesare even more lively and stronger then the earlier ones. The photos are atimeless provocation as Hans demonstrates the gravity of his models intoan art form. Fahrmeyer's use of beautiful muscled men weaves with thereflective properties of water to create memorable masterpieces.Water Moves makes one yearn for an encore. In cinema, we know by thelast scene, there's a sequel planned. By the time you get to the last page,you're hoping for the release of more from Hans Fahrmeyer. Well done.

In seinem vielbeachteten Bildband Afghanistan berichtete Steve McCurry vom Drama eines kriegsgebeutelten und zugleich faszinierenden Landes. Animals zeigt eine andere Seite des berühmten Fotografen, der sich hier den komplexen Beziehungen zwischen Mensch und Tier widmet, sei es als Gefährten, Mitarbeiter, Transportmittel, Trophäen oder einfach nur zufällige Begegnung. Der Mensch liebt sein Tier, aber was empfindet der räudige Straßenhund, der eingerollt neben seinem Herrchen schläft, das Kamel, das während des ersten Golfkrieges ins Schussfeld gerät, oder die vom Hirten zärtlich gefütterten Ziegen? McCurrys fotografischer Blick sensibilisiert uns nicht nur für die Schönheit der Tiere, sondern auch für deren Empfindungen, ihre soziale Rolle und Würde. So ist die Zuneigung zwischen Tier und Mensch oft unmittelbar zu spüren und unterstreicht den universellen Wert von Kameradschaft. Wir erleben Designer-Hunde aus Beverly Hills, Rennpferde auf einem Dach in Hongkong, Elefanten in Thailand und Hunderte weiterer Aufnahmen aus McCurrys umfangreichen Archiven. Diese kaleidoskopische Sammlung führt nicht nur durch ferne Länder und entlegene Gegenden, die von Afrika und Asien über die Galapagosinseln und die USA bis nach Europa reichen, sondern lenkt unseren mitfühlenden Blick einmal mehr auf die treuen Wesen an unserer Seite.

Dieser Band dokumentiert die erste, von Peter Lindbergh selbst kuratierte Werkschau, die er kurz vor seinem Tod fertigstellte. Über 150 Aufnahmen bieten neue, ganz unerwartete Einblicke in das Werk des legendären Fotografen. Ergänzt durch ein ausführliches Gespräch über die Entstehung sowie eine Hommage von Wim Wenders an Peter Lindbergh.

Während seiner gesamten Karriere stand Peter Lindbergh dem Haus Dior auf ganz besondere Weise nahe. Er fotografierte die schillernden Musen des Hauses, darunter Marion Cotillard und Charlize Theron, und realisierte mit seinem unverwechselbaren Stil Kampagnen für die Parfums Lady Dior und J'Adore. Dieses letzte Buch des Fotografen ist das Originaldokument einer außergewöhnlichen Ko-Kreation - und eine Herzensangelegenheit des Künstlers. Siebzig Jahre Dior-Geschichte und das Brodeln des Times Square in New York: Das war das Konzept hinter Lindberghs in Umfang und Dimension außergewöhnlichem Projekt, für das Dior in einer ebenso ungewöhnlichen Aktion eine beispiellose Anzahl von kostbaren Couture-Kreationen aus den Tresoren in Paris über den Atlantik schiffte. Das Ergebnis ist elektrisierend. Inmitten des Trubels am Times Square glänzt Alek Wek im makellosen Bar-Kostüm von 1947, jenem berühmten Ensemble, das den frühen Stil des Hauses definierte. Klassische "Lindbergh-Schönheiten" wie Saskia de Brauw, Karen Elson und Amber Valletta bewegen sich durch Menschenmassen und unter Gerüsten hindurch, spiegeln sich in Gebäudefassaden - gekleidet in Haute Couture, die Christian Dior noch von Hand fertigte, bis hin zu neueren Entwürfen von Maria Grazia Chiuri. Ein Spiel der Kontraste, das den Ambitionen dieser Stilübung jederzeit gerecht wird: Peter Lindberghs typisch monochrome, aber auch farbige Fotos heben auf meisterhafte Weise die Silhouetten, Feinheiten und Texturen jedes Kleidungsstücks hervor. Lindbergh selbst ist in dieser Publikation in jeder Hinsicht präsent. Dieser Band enthält 165 bislang unveröffentlichte Bilder, dazu eine Einführung von Martin Harrison, und würdigt Lindberghs langjährige Verbundenheit mit dem Pariser Modehaus Dior. Dafür stellte er mehr als 100 Fotografien zusammen, von Haute Couture bis zu Herren- und Damenkonfektionen, die ursprünglich in renommierten Zeitschriften wie Vogue oder Harper's Bazaar veröffentlicht wurden. Für die Gestaltung war Lindberghs langjähriger Artdirector und enger Freund Juan Gatti verantwortlich. Eine atemberaubende Hommage an das zeitlose Zusammenwirken von Haute Couture und Fotografie.

Die Pflanzenbilder des deutschen Fotopioniers Karl Blossfeldt (1865-1932) sind von einer solchen Schönheit und Originalität, dass sie das Medium der Fotografie transzendieren. Über 30 Jahre lang nahm Blossfeldt Tausende von Fotos auf, in einer rigorosen Formensprache, die die Bildproduktion des 19. Jahrhunderts ins 20. Jahrhundert überführte und der eigentlich zweidimensionalen Kunstform eine geradezu skulpturale Qualität verlieh. Die ebenso raffiniert wie minimalistisch vor einfachen Papphintergründen inszenierten Bilder erhalten ihre Plastizität durch Blossfeldts virtuose Lichtregie. Sie geben alles von sich, nichts jedoch von dem Mann hinter der Kamera preis. Diese Stillleben, die ihre Objekte so endgültig in Form bannen, sind ein Meilenstein der Fotografiegeschichte und üben aufgrund ihrer Ästhetik noch immer eine anhaltende Faszination auf alle Kenner des Mediums aus.

Akinbode Akinbiyi's street photography takes in the world's major cities, which he explores on foot.His images are visual metaphors ruminating on cultural change, social exclusion, and colonialism'ssociopolitical consequences and its impact on urban planning.

The photobook Permanent Concern consists of a series of smartphone photographs that Cavaliertook in the Netherlands in 2021. The objects and situations that he portrays are often recognizableand ordinary: from a plastic table to a brick wall blotched with paint or a girl's skipping rope. Thefull zoom used by Cavalier reveals-in much the same way as his presentation of the photographsas monochrome laser prints does-the inherent structure of his subjects and how, as "foreignobjects", they break with the original order. In this way, Cavalier emphasizes the various aspectsof urban planning, including among them the unintentional, the "mishap", which he characterizesas a quality that allows room for a subjective and personal use of the cities in which we live.Bertrand Cavalier, b. 1989 in France, is a multidisciplinary artist based in Brussels.

Hans Hansen's Analog Project, which the artist has been engaged with since the 1990s, comprisesa more or less complete document of all the equipment, utensils, and materials that he hasneeded and accumulated over his many years as a photographer making analogue prints. Isthis collection an evidential record of a world-or rather a photographic practice-documentedbefore it disappears, perhaps for good? Does it address a time of upheaval, in which digital mediahave begun to dominate the world? Would we use the terminology of crisis and catastrophe todescribe this revolution, which is akin to the turmoil that photography once brought about? Andwhat kind of archive is being created in the process? (Reinhard Braun)Hans Hansen, b. 1940 in Bielefeld, completed a training as a lithographer before going on to studyapplied graphics at the Kunstakademie Dü sseldorf. In 1962 he became a freelance (self-taught)photographer. He has lived and worked in Hamburg since 1967.

US artist Heather Sheehan, who has lived in Cologne since the mid-1990s, combines elements of performance, textile sculpture, installation and video art, analog black and white photography, poetry and narrative in her work to explore and present individual mythology.For her project Sylta, the whaler's widow who cries (2020-2024), the artist combined a sequence of 40 black and white self-portraits, a short story and the costume she sewed herself into a visual and verbal narrative. Isolated with an analog camera and typewriter in a thatched house on the coast of an island in the Wadden Sea of the North Sea, Sheehan felt herself transported into the role of a pregnant widow of a whaling captain. In the short story Ich bin Sylta, she reveals the startling synchronicity of experiencing fiction during the creative process.

Zygmunt Rytka (1947-2018) war ein intermedial arbeitender Künstler aus dem Umfeld der polnischenNeoavantgarde der 1970er und der unabhängigen Künstlergemeinschaft der 1980er Jahre. Inseinem konzeptuellen Werk verband er ein philosophisches und künstlerisches Studium der Naturund der Wahrnehmung mit ironischen Betrachtungen zu zeitgenössischen Medien und aktuellerPolitik. Die Kamera war für den Künstler ein Werkzeug, das eine Übereinkunft herstellt und Einflussauf die Realität gewinnt. Dieses Buch - die erste englischsprachige Monografie zu seinem foto-grafischen Werk - gibt einen umfassenden Überblick, es enthält frühe konzeptuelle Bilderzyklen,Arbeiten, die sich mit der Konsumkultur befassen, politisch aufgeladene analytische Auseinander-setzungen mit der Sprache der Massenmedien und Arbeiten, die sich mit dem Verhältnis von Kulturund Natur beschäftigen.

A diagnosis of cancer may be one of the most difficult pieces of news anyone could hear. From one moment to the next, life-changing. The beginning of a long journey whose destination cannot be predicted. While the stages of treatment may be similar for many patients, each person's response will be different. Cancer infiltrates, not just bone and tissue, but the entire lives of patients and their families. Caroline Seymour's photographs bear witness to what had to be endured by their subjects. Challenging though some of them may be, the position of an onlooker is a privileged one. The intention is not to sensationalise, but to show the beauty in these primal wounds within this most human and desperate of situations, as well as the skill, dedication and compassion of the doctors attempting to heal them. The photographs are juxtaposed with details of paintings and sculpture from UK national collections which place the work within a broader context. The religious references are not incidental; they are significant in that they emphasise both the humanity of the patients and their suffering. These photographs celebrate the beauty of the human body, of the art of surgery, of the care given by the surgeons to cure a deadly disease. They are testament to the courage and integrity of all involved.

Christer Strömholm is recognised as one of the major figures of 20th century European photography. Strömholm captured his surroundings in black‐and‐white images that display his integrity, understated humour and a highly personal aesthetic. With an unmistakable sensitivity to human suffering, based on his personal experience, he took photography in a new direction. Sean O'Hagan, writing in The Guardian, has described him "as the father of Swedish photography both for his abiding influence and for his role as a teacher." Born in Stockholm, Strömholm discovered photography via graphic art in the late 1940s. During the 1950s and 60s he lived much of the time in Paris, where he developed his particular style of street photography. It was here that he produced his most famous work, Les Amies de Place Blanche, a tribute to a group of young transsexuals with whom he became friends and whose lives he shared over many months. They were very much outsiders, struggling to survive, with their main source of income being from prostitution. In these legendary photographs, shot at night in available light, Strömholm merged street photography and portraiture, depicting them as the close friends theywere, in intimate and honest portraits far from the spectacular or speculative. Les Amies de Place Blanche raises profound issues about sexuality and gender; and, in Strömholm's own words, "it is about obtaining the freedom to choose one's own life and identity."

Paddy Summerfield's 'The Beginnings Of Eternity', three years in the making, is his first published colour essay. It starts as an apparent travelogue: traffic and hedges, winter moon and July fields are glimpsed from a moving car. This repeated journey shifts through daylight and changing seasons, looping around local lanes and streets, then entering domestic spaces, into a final garden brilliance. Summerfield has always been a story-teller; in 'The Beginnings Of Eternity' he has a new narrative device - an idiosyncratic colour code that creates the rhythm of the essay, and signals the unfolding of Summerfield's vision of a journey that is both metaphorical and spiritual, towards a peace beyond understanding. After twenty-five years of urging by his friend, photographer John Goto, Summerfield finally acquired a limited, lo-tech digital camera, so limited that the pictures yielded unforeseen (and usually unrepeatable) vagaries of flare, colour shift, distorted perspective, and other oddness. The prismatic shards and the unpredictable effects intensify Summerfield's photography, yet viewers familiar with his work will recognise the composites, the unfocused glimpses, the pattern of echoes that have appeared within his black and white work over decades.

Author of eight books and a Colorado Book Award Winner in Poetry, Kathryn Winograd is an award-winning Colorado poet, essayist, and photographer.

"A groundbreaking look at the life and art of one of the most influential and modern painters of the late nineteenth century and founder of the Impressionist movement. Drawing on thousands of never-before translated letters and unpublished sources, this new biography reveals dramatic new information about the life and work of one of the late 19th century's most important painters. Despite being mocked at the beginning of his career, and living hand to mouth, Monet risked all to pursue his vision, and his early work along the banks of the Seine in the 1860s-70s would come to be revered as Impressionism. In the following decades, he emerged as a celebrated leader of the new painting in one of the most exciting cultural moments in Paris, before withdrawing to his house and garden to paint the late Water Lilies, which were ignored during his lifetime and would later would have a major influence on all 20th century painters both figurative and abstract. This is the first time we see the turbulent life of this volatile and voracious man who was as obsessed by his love affairs as he was by nature. He changed his art three times when the women at the center of his life changed with a nod to the behavior of such painters as Picasso. His closest friend was Prime Minister Georges Clemenceau but Proust as well as Zola, Renoir, Pissarro and Manet were also a part of his life. Brilliant and absorbing, this biography will forever change our understanding of Monet's life and work"--

The lives and habitats of two majestic bird species are shared through striking space, aerial, and surface photographs to artfully convey the fragile elegance of life on Earth.New perspectives can inspire us to think differently about our place in the universe. The first photos of Earth from space showed the home of all known life as a small “blue marble” in a vast darkness and are thought by many to have inspired the environmental movement. For Dr. Roberta L. Bondar, the first female Canadian astronaut and the world’s first neurologist in space, the rare perspective she enjoyed aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery enhanced her reverence for the world we share with non-human life— especially birds, the only animals also able to fly vast distances across the globe.In Space for Birds: Patterns and Parallels of Beauty and Flight, Bondar, also an accomplished professional nature and landscape photographer, focuses her lens on two international species: the endangered Whooping Crane, which migrates from its boreal nesting grounds in Canada’s Wood Buffalo National Park to the seaside abundance of its winter habitat in Texas; and the near-threatened Lesser Flamingo, which is seen in dazzling pink flocks on and above East African Rift Valley soda lakes. Photos from the International Space Station convey the continental scale of these birds’ travels, and Bondar’s aerial and surface photos, accompanied by insights both scientific and personal, offer intimate glimpses of their daily lives and unique behaviours. While these birds lead different lives on opposite sides of the globe, they share, with each other and with us, an imperative to survive and a reliance on Earth’s fragile ecosystems.This book complements a travelling photographic exhibit, Patterns & Parallels: The Great Imperative to Survive.

"Splendid. This monumentally intimate collection journeys into the diverse soul of the nation. Moments of wit and affection contrast with an austere and formal observation of the human desire to settle, celebrate, and survive. A joyous and inspired book full of moments that are oddly resonant and deeply moving."—Atom EgoyanA subversive look at the liminal locations and transitional moments that make up the Canadian unconscious and the Not-So-True North.In this unvarnished look at Canada, renowned photographer Geoffrey James directs his gaze to the in-between spaces and forgotten places that resist the idea of a cohesive national identity. With an equable eye, James documents the ephemeral and the monumental: a demolition derby in Quebec, how an inmate at Kingston Penitentiary has decorated his cell, the Dickensian side door of Massey Hall in Toronto. The photographs in this collection celebrate the everyday while meditating on the issues James's adopted home faces: the bifurcation of rural and urban, rapid growth and increasing inequality, and its journey toward truth and reconciliation. Linked by views taken from train windows from British Columbia to Nova Scotia, James’s unofficial portrait of Canada brings into sharp relief the unfinished business of the nation as it lurches into the next century.Canadian Photographs includes a conversation between the photographer and Peter Galassi, former Chief Curator of Photography at the Museum of Modern Art.

This book is the result of more than three decades of in-depth research regarding the representation of gays and lesbians in African, Asian and Latin American cinema.

Greetings from the Atomic Realm, an amazing voyage inside the complex web of matter's basic building blocks. Discovering the mysteries behind the fundamental elements of existence, we dig into the microscopic landscapes that form the very fabric of our universe in this engrossing investigation. The atom is the smallest unit of matter with infinite significance and the center of the Atomic Realm. This is where protons, neutrons, and electrons perform their complicated dance, creating the soundscape of life. These minuscule particles, subject to the principles of quantum physics, form the complex network of matter that characterizes our material world. The fascinating diversity of the Atomic Realm is revealed as we delve deeper. Each element has a distinct atomic structure, which enables it to produce the kaleidoscope of compounds that make up our world. The periodic table serves as a guide for us as we navigate the multiplicity of elements, from the simplicity of hydrogen to the intricacy of uranium. The Atomic Realm is a dynamic environment that undergoes continuous change and metamorphosis rather than being a static landscape. Observe the atoms' throbbing energy, which propels the chemical reactions that shape our surroundings. Discover the processes that combine atoms to form molecules and create the vast variety of compounds that make up everything from the air we breathe to the oceans that envelop our globe. But the adventure doesn't stop there. We are invited to explore the core of stars through The Atomic Realm, where nuclear fusion transforms elements and releases the energy that powers the universe. Admire the cosmic alchemy that, since the beginning of time, has molded the universe. Science and wonder blend together in the Atomic Realm to show a realm full of boundless possibilities but guided by exact laws. Come along on this journey where the secrets of matter reveal themselves and the atomic world's beauty invites you to reflect on the fundamental nature of reality itself.

Judith Mariner's life is a portrait of non-conformity and unique experiences. She wasn't like the other girls in the '40s. She reveled in the outdoors and played with the boys. She discovered yoga and vegetarianism long before they became fads. She faced abuse of every kind and a feeling of "not enoughness" with everything she attempted. In high school, she taught herself to play tennis and became the state champion-twice. Through tenacity and conviction, she followed her artistic passions from the streets of Venice, Italy, to the barrios of Tucson, Arizona. She didn't care where she lived or how she made money, as long as she could paint and provide for her children. No matter what obstacles she faced, she found a way to survive and thrive, never losing the fire in her belly.
