"Patrick Weidmann (born 1958) explores fetish as a property of both objects and of photography. His photographs of Jacuzzis, an airplane seat or a soft toy deliberately overindulge in advertising rhetoric, and then sabotage it through disorienting strategies such as extreme cropping. This is the first survey of Weidmann's photography."
"For two decades, Swiss photographer Serge Fruehauf has documented fascinating architectural details cast in concrete. Yet his focus lies not only in the beauty of the built environment but also in the surprising and sometimes absurd puzzles created by later interventions—stairways that lead to dead ends, disfigured garden walls that have long outlived their purpose. Serge Fruehauf—Extra Norma brings together the best and most interesti ..."
"Eastman Kodak, the company which pioneered so much in photography from the 1880s through the 1960s, could have owned digital imaging; the very first electronic camera was born in one of Kodak's labs. Instead, they missed that boat, going into a tailspin that resulted in their eventual bankruptcy. Tied to that economic engine, the fortunes of Rochester, New York, the archetypal company town where Kodak had its headquarters, fell as "Big ..."
Anton Henning 20 Jahre Dilettantismus द्वारा JoergBader, Anton Henning Hardcover, 125 पन्ने, प्रकाशित 2009 द्वारा Richter Verlag ISBN-13: 978-3-937572-90-1, ISBN: 3-937572-90-2
"German artist Anton Henning's mixed-media installations, which reference the likes of Picasso, Cezanne and Miro, primarily incorporate painting and sculpture. This sleek monograph eschews essays, opting instead for a cheeky cross-referenced dictionary by Joerg Bader, contextualizing Henning's practice through such terms as arabesque, camp and dandy."
"For 15 years, Swiss documentary photographer Jules Spinatsch (born 1964) has been creating panoramas of various spaces―football stadiums, the Vienna Opera Ball, a prison, the SAP headquarters―by combining thousands of individual images. Spinatsch’s series and his creative process are documented in this volume."
"Fotografie ist ein eigentümliches Medium - stark und schwach zugleich. Sie ist stark in der Dokumentation unsererAlltagswirklichkeit. Und doch ist sie schwach - denn sie bildet nur die stumme Oberfläche unserer Welt ab. Sie zeigt nurdas Aussehen, nicht aber das Wesen der Dinge. Dieses ist Interpretationssache und liegt im Auge des Betrachters. Umdiese Schwäche zu kompensieren, werden Fotografien daher meist in einem eindeutigen Kontext ..."
"Architecture has always been a natural subject matter for photographers, but for most of the twentieth century the practice of architectural photography has been a professional endeavor--anonymous photographs taken for clients for specific, commercial reasons. This book concerns itself with another aspect of the phenomenon: the photography of architecture as an art practice. It considers the work of seven contemporary photographers who ..."
"Photography is a peculiar medium, an idiosyncratic mix of strengths and weaknesses. It is extremely good at documenting our everyday reality, and yet it is only capable of capturing the mute surface of our world. It merely shows the external appearance of things, not their essence. This is a question of interpretation, a matter for the viewer’s discretion. To compensate for this failing, photographs are mostly presented in an explicit c ..."
"Published on the occasion of the 2009 exhibition Jules Spinatsch - Am Ende der Sehnscht at Kunsthaus Zug in Switzerland, this artist's book provides an in-depth survey of the work of photographer Jules Spinatsch, who has presented his serial projects as video and slide projections, C-prints, panoramic wall installations, and artist's books, and who presents them here as rephotographed photographs, taped to worktables and pinned to the w ..."
"Since 1990, French-born artist Orlan has done seven plastic surgery "performances" which have radically reconstructed her face. She last added futuristic-looking pads of skin to each temple--utilizing the process which ordinarily constructs heightened cheekbones. In a 1998 digital photography series called "Self Hybridization," she montaged pictures of herself with images of Pre-Columbian, American Indian, African and "mutant" figures. ..."
"The book Semiautomatic Photography now shows the complete cycle for the first time. In it, Spinatsch foregrounds a selection of individual pictures that otherwise form a tiny element in his panoramas."

By taking photographs of apartments and streetscapes, whole interiors and single pieces of furniture, Ruiz creates a cohesive and multilayered portr ..."

Following his recent exhibition in Milan, this substantial publication features images selected by a variety of theorists and scientists chosen by Linke. The images se ..."
"In the mid-1990s, German artist Peter Piller (born 1968) worked at a Hamburg press agency, collecting clippings and monitoring where and how the paid ads of clients would appear in print. During his daily press survey, Piller collected and organized photographs, here published and arranged thematically in "Peter Piller: Archive.""
