The first high-end volume published on the traditional costumes of Saudi Arabia, with authentic and previously unpublished artworks and documentation from the acclaimed Darat Safeya Binzagr collection.Considered the “founding mother” of Saudi Arabia’s fine art movement, Safeya Binzagr has forged a precious and unique path of opportunity and creative development for many artists, especially young women who have followed in her footsteps. As a national cultural icon, she is a respected painter, collector, and textile researcher, and one of only two female artists to ever hold an art exhibition in Saudi Arabia in 1968, as well as the very first internationally exhibited Saudi artist.In 2000, Binzagr opened the Darat Safeya Binzagr, which houses the artist’s entire oeuvre as well as her private collection of traditional artifacts, textiles, and costumes, with meticulously documented information accumulated over the decades.Showcasing the colors, bold patterns, and intricately embroidered designs of KSA, the beauty and variety of these Arabian garments and jewelry are undeniable, although they are practically unknown to the Western world. Each headdress, garment, and necklace is an expression of personal and regional identity, incorporating Islamic, Indian, Indonesian, Malay, and Turkish influences that trace back to the legendary world of the ancient Silk Road. Preserving costumes that are no longer worn and celebrating those that remain at the heart of communities and families alike, this lavish book provides invaluable insights and over 300 images showcasing the history and stories of Saudi Arabia through the creative expressions of its oldest inhabitants.

The exhibition "(RE)VERSVS. Reuse and Redemption in the Patrimony of the Vatican Library and in the Art of Sidival Fila" is the result of a profound reflection by the artist and the curators of the Vatican Library on the theme of reuse - redemption, conceived as two different, and at times opposing, possibilities of using and valorising an ancient, or simply previous or extraneous, material in a new and different way. It presents a recovery of fragments and discards of manuscripts, textiles, marbles and other materials that, in the case of reuse, defines their new purpose, while in the case of redemption celebrates them in themselves, in their ontological value, regardless of their possible new utility. The exhibition concludes in the Sala Barberini with the site-specific installation 'Natura Artificialis', a work that represents the Brazilian artist's integral vision, the starting point of his critical view of the human race and the erroneous idea of nature seen solely as being at the service of man.Ed.: Cristiano Grisogoni.

Why is the cover of "Waldlust" so green, you mayask? It's designed to act as a contrast to his wonderfully natural-looking models; their skin and hair colour. "Waldlust"refreshingly and unselfconsciously portrays powerful eroticism both in the woods and on the mountains. As the sexyforest ladies and alpine maidens boldly and provocatively pose for the camera, still largely unknown, mountain boyswatching nearby have to rise, leaving their milking stools behind them.

With his first photographic album, Christian Heymann embarks on an emotional and personal journey. In dark, melancholic and beautiful shots, the photographer processes the failed relationship with his girlfriend.Faced with the desire for an open relationship, Heymann found himself in a calamitous situation, which was quickly characterized by envy and jealousy and subsequently developed a disturbing dynamic. The waning love, the appearance of other partners, and the constant struggle for affirmation left Heymann feeling numb. His book shows the complicated process of mutual alienation and is simultaneously an attempt both to come to terms with what he and his girlfriend experienced and to find each other in a new way.Photographs marked by vulnerability and emotional froideur mix with sensitive still lifes and threatening landscape scenes to create a poignantly atmospheric narrative that reveals a deep and intimate view into the state of mind of those portrayed.

Who does not know the thread of life, the common or silken thread? This book deals with the symbolic meanings that thread holds for human life, as already evident in the myths of antiquity: the thread of Ariadne in the labyrinth; the young woman, Arachne, transformed into a spider; and the three Moirai who spin the thread of human life. To this day, these stories touch on existential questions such as individuality and collectivity, power and powerlessness, doubt and certainty, fate and responsibility. Works of contemporary art and historical graphics, presented in both image and text, create spaces for thought and association-inviting us to engage with the openness of the meaning of threads, and to interweave them with personal thoughts and experiences.Text: Birte Hinrichsen, Dr. Corinna Otto, Dr. Maria Spitz.
