SIGNED COPY! Out-of-print 'One Day in November' by Jessica BACKHAUS is a tribute to Gisèle FREUND on what would have been her one 100th birthday in Dec. 2008, a testament to the friendship between a great photographer and a student in Paris during the 90s

'Dark Atlas' by Perttu SAKSA, combines documentary images with still lifes and abstract photographs that locate the subject of energy as a structural element of our society. Oil and fuel become as tangible as the problems caused by dependence on them.

At first unconsciously, then more and more purposefully, the photographer sets out to find her own origin. Jessica BACKHAUS' color photographs have metaphorical potential and work against the grain of classic social documentary photography.

The photos in 'InselWesen' by Mila TESHAIEVA are reminiscent of old paintings. They depict Föhr island as a dream world and emphasize the fragility of its real existence. Föhr's inhabitants feel connected to traditions & nature in an almost sacred way.

The monograph 'Minkkinen' accompanying international exhibitions on the photo work of Arno Rafael MINKKINEN contains unusual b/w photographs that are reminiscent of his fellow students, Harry CALLAHAN and Aaron SISKIND, from Rhode Island School of Design.

English catalog (2nd) for the Helen LEVITT retrospective exhibitions in London & in New York, containing around 130 of the most famous works, some of which are shown for the first time. She's one of the earliest representatives of 'New Color Photography'

In her book 'bath in brilliant green' Nina RÖDER shows a poetic perspective on various forms of helplessness and loss. The photographs, taken in Italy, Iceland, Ireland, Spain as well as in France, capture the different color atmospheres of the countries.

This photo book combines three series with around forty colored works each. The photographer Jessica BACKHAUS is breaking new ground in 'Trilogy' and integrating components from mixed media, painting and collage that expand and deepen these abstractions.
