Thirteen words, thirteen protagonists, thirteen stories. This special journey crosses different regions and tells of mastery, know-how, emotions, and characters that honor ancient Italian traditions.Gaggia, the brand that invented espresso machines for bars and homes, wanted to represent Italian creativity in 13 stories. To achieve this, it selected the same number of contemporary artisans, including a blacksmith, a motorcycle restorer, a ceramist, a hatter, a tailor, and a creator of floral sets, and depicted them in the pages of the book through the images of Stefania Giorgi and the words of Laura Maggi.In this tale, coffee is an often invisible link; it represents the irreplaceable value of reflection, of time rediscovered, of having a break.

This new book on the SR-71 provides a excellent compliment to Schiffer Military's "Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird: The Illustrated History of America's Legendary Mach 3 Spy Plane" by James Goodall, which is a much larger, more expensive book; this also serves as a replacement for the strong-selling book on the aircraft by Bill Holder, which was released in 2002 and is now out of print.

This collection of hugely popular and critically acclaimed photos celebrates New York City's unique history and culture-from long-disappeared icons to still-thriving favorite haunts. For decades, husband-and-wife photography duo James and Karla Murray have been on a mission to document and preserve in film the various small shops of New York City-many of which are quickly disappearing-and a culture of authenticity that is hanging by just a thread. Featuring glorious new reproductions of images from their past books as well as never-before published photos, this elegiac volume will delight the Murrays' multitude of fans, as well as anyone interested in the charm and history of small urban retail. Large in format and filled with color and affectionate detail, this volume includes an introduction by the Murrays explaining the genesis of their lifelong project and why they love to photograph storefronts. Chapters are organized by each of the city's five boroughs and include descriptions and a map. Most of the storefronts are featured in generous single-page images with captions listing location, neighborhood, and year the photo was taken. Filled with diversity and character, these images honor destinations lost to rising rents and changing demographics. Together they comprise both a guidebook and a love letter to a city that never sleeps, and is always evolving.

"He doesn't bother me," Picasso commented of the photographerEdward Quinn, after the latter had first photographedhim at work in the ceramics studio in the early1950s. This was undoubtedly one of the reasons why Quinnwas allowed to accompany the artist with his Leica for over20 years from 1951 onwards during his time on the Côted'Azur: in the studio, in private with his family, with artistfriends, at the bullfight, out and about, with lovers or simplyat the hairdresser's. The Quinn Archive holds a largestock of photographs of great intimacy, showing Picassoin everyday life and documenting his idiosyncratic character,his humor, and his enthusiasm in an amiable andlight-hearted way.Edward Quinn did not use a tripod with his camera, nor didhe illuminate the room artificially; his main concern wasto capture genuine pictures. As a viewer, you find yourselfon eye level with the protagonists. Almost like in the streetphotography we know today, there is a captivating senseof the casual moment. This book is a magical selection ofphotographs from Picasso's everyday life and shows thefamous artist in many unexpected situations.From 1949, EDWARD QUINN (1920, Dublin-1997, Altendorf/Switzerland) lived and worked on the Côte d'Azur as a press photographer for international magazines such as Life and Paris Match. During his 20-year friendship with Picasso, he took more than 12,000 photographs of the artist. From the 1960s onwards, Quinn concentrated his work entirely on the art scene, portraying the likes of Max Ernst, Alexander Calder, Francis Bacon, Salvador Dalí, Graham Sutherland, David Hockney and Georg Baselitz.

Art and photography have played a key role in capturing and reflecting on the conditions for the Brexit referendum. Illustrated by a range of work by artists including Cornelia Parker, Wolfgang Tillmans, David Shrigley, Tacita Dean and Jeremy Deller as well as the satirists Cold War Steve and Led By Donkeys, who offer fascinating insights into their work, along with ephemera such as campaign posters and leaflets, and more personal photographs which capture the searing impact of the vote on both UK and EU citizens, this impassioned and compelling book explores the role of the photograph and sometimes moving image in the ongoing consequences of what the author views as a political cataclysm. From Jeremy Deller‿s film of musicians protesting outside the House of Commons and Mark Duffy‿s extraordinary photograph of a debate held inside, to portraits of those whose lives have been changed immeasurably, this art of protest brings together disparate aspects of the bitterly fought battle to remain and the consequences of the decision to leave the EU on 1 January 2021 and serves as a reminder of this political and social schism. In doing so, the book offers insight into our society, exploring issues of national identity, migration, colonialism/decolonialism, racism, the flag, austerity, the border in Northern Ireland, Scotland and how artists can intervene in political debate. It offers an original, visually stimulating and attractive examination of this still topical subject, revealing how art and photography can capture and memorialise key moments in our history.

A stunning photography book that explores the power, rebellion, and resilience held within the voices of trailblazing Black female musicians

At the beginning of the 1950s, the city of Giessen built emergency accommodation in an area known as "Auf dem Eulenkopf" for people without fixed abode. Socially underprivileged families were thus separated from the city's middle-class society. Living conditions were accordingly difficult, and social problems and violence soon followed.In the 1970s, students began to address the problems and tried to create a decent neighborhood together with the residents. They found a prominent advocate in Horst-Eberhard Richter, the director of the local psychosomatic clinic. In 2020, fifty years after the foundation of the initiative, Richter's granddaughter Merle Forchmann embarked on a photographic exploration of today's Eulenkopf housing estate.Over a period of two years, Forchmann repeatedly traveled to Giessen. She established contact with the social workers, got to know the residents, talked to the people, and started to photograph everyday life in the estate from within. With authentic, powerful images and intense recordings of conversations, she has created an impressive portrait of the neighborhood and its residents.

Auch ich habe dem Hochglanzgeschäft zu viele Bilder übergeben. Es ging eine Zeit nur um Auflösung, Schattenspiel und Schärfegrad. Nie war der Zufall ein Mitgestalter. Diese meine hier versammelten Bilder sind anders. Manchmal erkennt man erst auf den zweiten Blick, dass ein Gedanke die gesamte Komposition trägt. Man kann sich nach dem Sinn selbst auf die Suche machen.Ich bin gespannt, auf Ihre Meinung und ihre Blickung. Logan Banner

"From street corners to corner offices, mixtapes made a huge impact on the music industry and hip-hop culture in New York City during the late '80s, '90s, and early 2000s. Mixtapes helped dictate what rap songs were hot in the clubs, on the radio, and in the streets, and they influenced which artists would get signed to record deals. Mixtapes also showcased which DJs had the most skills and creativity, and who had the juice to pull the illest exclusives. Do Remember! combines the best elements of oral and pictorial histories to explore the evolution of mixtapes as a crucial component of New York City hip-hop culture. Featuring a comprehensive collection of rare mixtape cover art, never-before-seen images, vintage tracklists, and exclusive interviews with Kid Capri, Brucie B, Mister Cee, Ron G, S&S, Doo Wop, Green Lantern, Lord Finesse, Clark Kent, Bobbito, Cipha Sounds, Havoc of Mobb Deep, the late, great DJ Kay Slay, and many more, including a special foreword by Fab 5 Freddy, Do Remember! captures an era in New York City that went on to inspire future hip-hop generations all over the world." --Provided by Publisher.

Since October 2022, the editors Ivanna Kozachenko, Andrii Ushytskyi, Vsevolod Kazarin and Sebastian Wells as well as the art direction around Anne-Lene Proff and Peter Bünnagel from Kollektiv Scrollan and the Berlin-based publishing house SHIFT BOOKS have been working on a second issue of the magazine. In addition to photography, film, contemporary art, literature and, most importantly, the everyday life of young people in Ukraine, the magazine attempts to convey the complex reality of life under the permanent gaze of Russian aggression through the works of talented and already well-known Ukrainian artists.On 132 pages, the new issue pays special attention to the stories of people from the now-occupied territories of Luhansk, Donetsk and Crimea, who have already been confronted with the war since 2014. The cover of the new issue was designed exclusively for Söomiya by renowned artist Alevtina Kakhidze. It shows a woman surrounded by missiles and drones, raising her hand. "Our hands became more skilful during the war," says Kakhidze, who has already created hundreds of drawings during the war and drew a tardigrade on the back cover of the magazine - the only creature to survive the Chernobyl nuclear accident.

In the 1990s, queer youth, outcasts and artists, flocked to San Francisco to find one another and to experiment with art, self-expression, style, and gender. Rent was affordable, paving the way for queer bars, clubs, tattoo shops, galleries, cafes, bookstores, and women-owned businesses to emerge. A new wave of feminism embraced gender bending, and butch/femme culture flourished. The Mission District was the center of this queer cultural renaissance, and the feeling of community was palpable. Chloe Sherman was both a member of this community and an ardent visual chronicler. Her documentary photographic work on 35mm film stems from a commitment to capturing the vibrancy, tenderness, individuality, resilience, and joy within this subculture that was derided by mainstream society. Distilling the spirit of the time, her debut monograph is a candid portrait of a vibrant era that connects current and future generations to the pulse of San Francisco at a pivotal chapter in queer history.CHLOE SHERMAN (*1969, New York City) arrived in San Francisco in 1991 and earned her BFA in Photography at the San Francisco Art Institute. Her work has been exhibited internationally and featured in magazines such as Rolling Stone and Interview. Her documentary photography is deeply influenced by her fine arts training.

Aerial, Twinfin und Newschool - heutiger Surferjargon lässt kaum vermuten, dass die neuzeitliche Geschichte des Surfens mit Captain Cooks Südsee-Expedition 1778 begann. Von Polynesien aus hat das Surfen die Welt erobert und mittlerweile viele Bereiche unserer Kultur durchdrungen - Mode, Pop, Sport, Kino und Fotografie . Was Anfang des letzten Jahrhunderts noch ein exotisches Vergnügen weniger Abenteurer war und später als Subkultur die Mythologie Kaliforniens prägte, ist im Mainstream angekommen und mit seinen rund 20 Millionen Aktiven weltweit und ungezählten Fans zur festen Größe der Freizeitindustrie geworden, mit internationalen Stars, Weltranglisten und spektakulären Events wie den "Big Wave Awards", auf atemberaubenden Action-Shots millionenfach publiziert und ins Netz gestellt. Jim Heimanns Buch zeichnet diese Geschichte nach, mit Hunderten von Bildern und Beiträgen renommierter Surfjournalisten . Der Band folgt der Chronologie der Ereignisse vom Erstkontakt der Europäer mit dem Surfen bis in unsere Tage der Eventkultur. Mehr als zwei Jahrhunderte Surf Culture, illustriert mit einer überwältigenden Fülle an Bildmaterial aus öffentlichen wie privaten Sammlungen und Archiven, kommentiert und erläutert von der ersten Liga des Surfschreibertums. Die Bibel für jeden Surffan, popkulturell Interessierten und Bilderhungrigen.

Versunken, selbstvergessen, gelangweilt, routiniert Arbeit nimmt im Leben des modernen Menschen einen zentralen Platz ein. Sie teilt uns in soziale Schichten ein, ist identitätsstiftend und Projektionsfläche der eigenen Perso¿nlichkeit, damit großer Teil unserer Biografie und nicht zuletzt dient sie dem Erwerb unseres Lebensunterhalts. Der Fotograf Marvin Zilm (geb. 1973 in Karlsburg, lebt und arbeitet in Zu¿rich und Berlin) zeigt uns diese Facetten und fu¿hrt uns mit der Serie Men at Work zu Fragen nach Status, Klasse und Männlichkeit. Die Fotografien entstanden während Reisen zu Auftragsarbeiten, als Nebenprodukt von Ausflu¿gen oder Spaziergängen innerhalb der letzten sechs Jahre, und zeigen Bauarbeiter, Gärtner, Kellner, Straßenku¿nstler, Bauern, Rettungsschwimmer rund um den Globus. Als Sozialstudie zeigen uns Zilms Arbeiten die Grenzen und das Gefangensein in Alltagstrukturen, aber auch das Erleben beruhigender Routinen in einer sich immer schneller drehenden und in die Krise geratenen postmodernen Welt. Absorbed, Oblivious, Bored, Routined Work occupies a central place in the life of modern man. It assigns us to our place in the social hierarchy, is a source of identity and screen onto which we project our personalities, making it a major chapter in our biographies, and not least importantly, it is how we make a living. Fanning out these different aspects, the photographer Marvin Zilm's (b. Karlsburg, 1973; lives and works in Zurich and Berlin) series Men at Work takes us on a tour to questions of status, class, and masculinity. The photographs were taken as he traveled to various jobs, as byproducts on trips as well as strolls over the past six years, and show construction workers, gardeners, waiters, street artists, farmers, lifeguards around the globe. As a study of contemporary society, Zilm's works draw our attention to the limitations of lives trapped in the structures of the everyday, but also to experiences of comforting routine in an ever more fast-paced postmodern world in crisis.

K Culture will reveal all aspects of South Korea's way of life, both historically and in its new found fame. Including sections on K-pop bands, cinema, drama, art, comics, food, fashion, and night-life, with features within each section on the best films, shows, stars, artists etc.--this book offers different gateways into contemporary South Korea and what drives it.

This book is a stunning, informative, and fun handbook to the Korean Wave."--

(Please scroll down for english)Im Jahr 2008 veröffentlichte Satoshi Nakamoto ein Whitepaper mit dem Titel "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System" als Reaktion auf die Finanzkrise. Dieser Text war die Geburtsstunde eines neuen Paradigmas, der Blockchain.¿Basierend auf der Vision von Nakamoto, haben Menschen auf der ganzen Welt eine neue Infrastruktur geschaffen, die für die Übertragung von Vermögen, Informationen und vielem mehr genutzt werden kann. Seitdem sind insbesondere Kryptowährungen wie Bitcoin oder Anwendungen wie Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) bekannt geworden. Aber die genauen Zusammenhänge dieser abstrakten Begriffe verstehen nur Eingeweihte. Um visuell Licht in das kryptische Dunkel zu bringen, machte sich Danny Franzreb während der Boomphase von Kryptowährungen zwischen 2021-2022 auf eine einjährige Reise zu Minern, Investoren und Glücksrittern, die früh die Chancen dieser digitalen Währungen nutzen wollten. Die entstandene Arbeit dokumentiert mit eindrucksvollen Bildern Orte und Menschen, die sich in der Kryptowelt engagieren; vom kleinen Keller-Schürfer bis hin zu industriellen Mining-Farmen, von Installationen, Kühlaggregaten, Kabelwäldern und Industrieruinen in Russland bis zu den ersten High-Tech Fabriken mit nachhaltiger Produktion in Schweden. Die Bilder von Danny Franzreb werden ergänzt durch Texte der Autorinnen Holly Roussell (Spezialistin für zeitgenössische Kunst und Fotografie, Kuratorin am UCCA, Center for Contemporary Art, China) und Anika Meier (Kuratorin und Autorin mit Schwerpunkt digitale Kunst und NFTs, Hamburg)Danny Franzreb (*1979) ist Fotograf und Professor für Media&User Experience an der Hochschule Neu-Ulm. In seinen preisgekrönten Arbeiten setzt er sich mit den transformativen Auswirkungen der modernen Gesellschaft auseinander. ______________________________In 2008 Satoshi Nakamoto published a white paper entitled "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System" in response to the financial crisis.
