Zwei Jahre reiste der kanadische Fotograf Scott Wiese durch Europa, um die auf dem Kontinent stattfindenden Klimaproteste zu besuchen und zu dokumentieren. Seine beeindruckenden und unverstellten Fotografien spiegeln in besonderer Weise die Stimmung und die Realität auf Demonstrationen und in Camps wider. Vom Hambacher Forst bis nach La Hague zeigen seine Fotografien Aktivistinnen und Aktivisten, deren Konfrontation mit der Polizei und ihren Einsatz, während sich Politik und der Großteil der Gesellschaft darin übt, das Thema zu verdrängen. Seine schwarz/weißen Fotografien hinterlegt Wiese mit einer gelben Signalfarbe. Dieses Buch soll dokumentieren, ist aber ebenso eine Verneigung vor denjenigen, die sich durch ihren Protest in ständige Gefahr begeben.

When does the history of Islam in Germany begin? How do Muslims live in this country? How do they maintain their faith and how do they contribute to society? In Moin und Salam, photojournalist Julius Matuschik and political and religious studies scholar Raida Chbib explore these and other questions without offering simple answers. The illustrated book follows the traces and stories of Islam and Muslims in Germany from the past to the present, and it invites the reader to discover the diversity and vibrancy of Muslim life over time through images.

Männliche Körper abseits von Klischees, die Suche nach Identität und immer wieder die sich wandelnden Gesichter der Stadt Berlin - das sind die Themen, die sich durch das Werk von Daniel Harders ziehen. Sein neuer Fotoband enthält eine Auswahl von Bildern, die Anfang des Jahrtausends entstanden. Die Schwarz-Weiß-Fotografien zeigen flüchtige Begegnungen und neue Freundschaften, die Nischen und Übergangsorte der Stadt und die verletzlichen, schüchternen, schönen Körper der Männer, die in ihnen nach neuen Perspektiven und Gefährten suchen."From the Heart of Berlin" ist die Vision eines jungen Künstlers, der mehr will als Oberflächen abbilden. Den Fotografien des Bandes wohnt gleichermaßen etwas Melancholisches inne wie eine ungeheure Sehnsucht nach Leben. Das vermeintlich Unvollkommene erscheint hier begehrenswert und schön. Vor allem aber zeigt sich Daniel Harders mit seinem neuen Buch als feinfühliger Chronist Berlins der frühen 2000er Jahre. "Als ich 1998 zum ersten Mal nach Berlin kam, war ich sofort schockverliebt in diese Stadt", schreibt der Künstler im Nachwort. Von dieser Verliebtheit erzählen seine Bilder.ALLE EXEMPLARE NUMMERIERT UND SIGNIERT!

An inspiring, educational, and practical book about philosophy and art, and finding a personally meaningful life.Teacher, philosopher, and author Guy Tal has written several best-selling books on photography, creativity, and expression. While it would be understandable to label Guy a "photographer," it is more accurate to call him a philosopher and artist who has forged a creative life on his own terms: a life shaped by his love of nature, his interest in science and philosophy, his individualistic temperament, and his desire to create art that is expressive and significant in the ways most meaningful to him.In Be Extraordinary: Philosophical Advice for Photographic and Other Artists, Guy shares his knowledge of philosophy and art, then offers advice on how to implement it into your own work. In the first part, "Foundations," Guy lays out a conceptual framework for the book with short essays about philosophy and art. In the second part, "Practical Advice," he offers a series of brief essays aiming to enable and empower you to apply the foundational philosophies to your own life and work. Together, the two parts demonstrate how Guy has carefully fashioned his own perspective on philosophy, art, and life, and offer you a set of tools for finding your own path.This is not a how-to book of techniques and tips. The goal of the book is to make you think, to pose hard questions, to challenge you to question common beliefs and attitudes, to nudge you out of your comfort zone, and to help you find the courage to become who you--and only you--are. And in so doing, to create a life and art that is meaningful in the deepest ways that life and art can be meaningful, which is to say: meaningful to you.

This book examines the archival aesthetic of mourning and memory developed by Latin American artists and photographers between 1997-2016.  Particular attention is paid to how photographs of the assassinated or disappeared political dissident of the 1970s and 1980s, as found in family albums and in official archives, were not only re-imagined as conduits for private mourning, but also became allegories of social trauma and the struggle against socio-political amnesia. Memorials, art installations, photo-essays, street projections, and documentary films are all considered as media for the reframing of these archival images from the era of the Cold War dictatorships in Argentina, Chile, Guatemala, and Uruguay. While the turn of the millennium was supposedly marked by "e;the end of history"e; and, with the advent of digital technologies, by "e;the end of photography,"e; these works served to interrupt and hence, belie the dominant narrative on both counts. Indeed, the book's overarching contention is that the viewer's affective identification with distant suffering when engaging these artworks is equally interrupted: instead, the viewer is invited to apprehend memorial images as emblems of national and international histories of ideological struggle.

The young photographer, graphic designer, and filmmaker Can Yasar Köklü (b. Schwelm, 2003; lives and works in Brooklyn) grew up between Cologne and Istanbul and currently studies at New York's renowned Pratt Institute. In his first publication CYK-an artist's book featuring breathtakingly beautiful photographs and personal writings-he explores his experiences growing up, the traditions that inform his art, and his feelings in three different cultures: "Heimat" charts his native Germany, where he spent most of his life; "Memleket" is dedicated to Turkey, where his roots are; and "Home" presents the impressions Köklü gathered during a year in high school in Los Angeles and now in New York, where he continues his education. Driven by a passion for storytelling, he captures singular-fascinating and deeply moving-moments in time.

»Die Fabriken und Stahlwerke sind mein erweitertes Atelier.« Mit diesen Worten verweist der amerikanische Bildhauer Richard Serra auf die Prozesse, die zur Entstehung seiner oft großformatigen Skulpturen erforderlich sind. Ebenso wie seine häufig im öffentlichen Raum installierten Werke das Museum als alleinigen Ausstellungsort verlassen, verlagert sich die höchst aufwendige Produktion der Skulpturen vom Atelier in die Stahlwerke. An die Stelle einsamer künstlerische Handarbeit tritt ein komplexer, energieintensiver und arbeitsteiliger Prozess in der Schwerindustrie. Aus industrieller Zusammenarbeit gehen jeweils einzigartige Kunstwerke hervor, und nicht selten führt die Auseinandersetzung mit den industriellen Arbeitsweisen zu neuen Werken: work comes out of work.Der Fotograf Dirk Reinartz hat über viele Jahre hinweg im Auftrag von und in Zusammenarbeit mit Richard Serra die Entstehung und den Aufbau von dessen Skulpturen fotografisch begleitet. Dabei entstanden Bilder, die weit über eine reine Dokumentation hinausgehen und eine eigene Bildqualität entwickeln. Reinartz' subtil graduierte Schwarz- Weiß-Fotografie fängt die besondere Atmosphäre im Walzwerk, in der Schmiede und in der industriellen Weiterverarbeitung ein, ohne auf vordergründige Effekte zu zielen. Sowohl die Produktion der einzelnen Skulpturenelemente als auch die fertig installierten Werke hält Reinartz in eindrücklichen Aufnahmen fest, gleichermaßen zurückhaltend und souverän.Sprachen: Deutsch, Englisch
