Staged Photography

The works by Jeff WALL collected here include large-format slides, b/w images & color photo prints. More recent images enter into a dialog with works from the time of his artistic beginnings and reveal a variety of references in terms of content & form.

Photo book 'The Silence of Dogs in Cars' by Martin USBORNE contains billboards of dogs silently peering through car windows. The staged photos evoke a mood of loneliness & longing. Yet they are less about dog portraits and more about separation in general

The out-of-print volume 'Transréalités' by Arthur TRESS contains photographs taken in Brooklyn & New York in the 1950s, including the dream images and fantasies that made him famous. The selection reflects in particular the influence of neo-realist film.

The out-of-print volume 'Retrospective' deals with the staged & surrealist photography of Arthur TRESS, whose work is characterized by allegorical wit and narrative acuity, as well as challenging the imagination and understanding of the dark sides of life

The catalog 'I need to live' captures the depth of Juergen TELLER's photographic achievement, the unconventional fusion of personal experience and his commercial work, realized in portraits, landscapes, nudes, still lifes and ever-changing self-portraits.

For the volume 'Fashion Photography for America 1999-2016', German photographer Juergen TELLER photographed original W magazines and Barneys catalogs from his archives, a low-fi approach that emphasizes the physical process of reviewing his past work.

This monograph, 'I am,' on Erwin OLAF chronologically traces his career from brash provocateur to official portraitist of the Dutch royal family. Between the series, his opinionated texts provide insights into the context and inspiration of his works.

Out-of-print 'Small Wars' by Vietnamese-born photographer An-My LÉ in 1960 brings together 3 series in 1 book that are both documentary & staged: Images from her homeland processing the Vietnam War, battle compositions and military exercises in the desert

The volume 'Walter Hege and Herbert List. Griechische Tempelarchitektur in photographischer Inszenierung' by Matthias Harder examines two basic photographic convictions on the basis of images from the 1920s and 1930s: contextual accuracy versus alienation
