New Easteuropean Photobooks

'Deutschland 1945' by Lee MILLER contains around 150 photographs, embedded in the historical context and analyzed by the acknowledged expert about Nazi-Germany, Richard Bessel. It casts a fascinating and shocking look at the low point of German history.

In his photo book 'Alpen' (engl. Alps) Peter MATHIS shows the mountain world in sensitive portraits that show the artist's deep connection with his subject. The black and white photographs invite the viewer to experience the Alps from different angles.

Weit mehr als Perfektion und Glamour haben Peter LINDBERGH die Ausstrahlung, Individualität sowie die Persönlichkeit der Frauen vor seiner Kamera interessiert – Qualitäten, die man eher mit der Portrait- als der Modephotographie verbindet.

For his photo volume 'Sumo', Tomasz GUDZOWATY works with the rebellious aesthetic of 'are-bure-bokeh' (rough, blurred, out of focus). A style that emerged in Japan in the 1960s as a counter-current to the prevailing norm of photojournalism at the time.

'Shirley BAKER' presents a uniquely female portrayal of life from the 1950s to 2000. Edited by Lou Stoppard it features better known photographs from Manchester, Salford & Blackpool combined with previously unseen material from UK, France, Italy & Japan.

The prominent Belgian photographer Stephan VANFLETEREN worked intensively in his daylight studio from 2010 to 2022. 'Atelier' - available here in three languages or can be pre-ordered - brings together these works and offers a great overview of his work.
