The photo book 'Album' by Oliver SIEBER contains portraits of people in different situations, which were subsequently extracted to insert them into new spaces. The focus is on the figure of the portrayed person as well as the illusion of a real sculpture.

Oliver SIEBER's artist book is more than a mere list of 'possessions' or a sales catalog. Together with the reference pictures from various projects and the sounds of the equipment, 'For Sale' becomes a photographer's diary of a different kind.

The figures aren't arranged according to types, instead SIEBER combines images of different color series with b/w shots. In these juxtapositions of styles & locations he creates an 'Imaginary Club', a co-existence of diverse styles that define themselves.

'Moon over Konohana' by Katja STUKE includes several 'fake' moons, like illuminated street signs in Japan or company logos & lights in Europe. A central aspect of the dialogue is the consideration of supposed reality & representability of the seen image.

'Nationalfeiertag' by German photographer Katja STUKE, combines images from the Chinese National Day in Tiananmen Square with photographs from the commemoration of the 1989 massacre at the same place. Hidden are also texts from 1989 published in Hong Kong

Self-produced maquette 'Suits. London, Tokyo, New York 2007-2008 vs. Facts & Fiction 1929-2008' by Katja STUKE focuses on one single theme, suits and how they are worn. Limited to 150 copies.
