The first overview volume on the work of Samuel FOSSO. From self-portraits from the 1970s to his most recent series 'Tati' & 'African Spirits', this photo book shows his departure from the West African studio photography of a Seydou KEITA or Malick SIDIBÉ

The book 'Turning Back' by Robert ADAMS documents and observes the results of greed so unrestrained that they are indistinguishable from those of nihilism. It reflects what was lost, what is retained, and what we value as a people with a common history.

For years, former BECHER student Candida HÖFER traveled around the world to photograph public and semi-public libraries. The photographic volume 'Libraries. The Return' brings together an essence of past work and juxtaposes it with current images:

The out-of-print photobgraphic volume 'Landscapes 2001-2003' by British photographer Richard BILLINGHAM brought together his landscape photographs for the first time. The color photographs are introduced by Sacha Craddock, an art critic and broadcaster.

The volume 'Höfe' by Bernhard FUCHS shows farms in the area around Helfenberg (Austria) that have been passed down from generation to generation. They are scattered in the hilly landscape of the Mühlviertel, where the climate is harsh and the soil barren.

The photo volume '1078 Blue Skies / 4432 Days' by Anton KUSTERS contains limited edition Polaroid photos of the abstract blue skies above European concentration camps of the German Nazi regime. It is the result of a long-term project lasting six years.

'But Still, It Turns', a photo and text book edited by prominent British photo artist Paul GRAHAM, brings together collected dynamic and diverse works that tell open stories. These are brought together in this volume - in harmony and revealing dissonance.

The photographs of Sebastian MÖLLEKEN in the out-of-print photo book 'Tagebau' shift the sensation of time and size; they show how the landscape shapes the people who live in it - at the same time, the people shape the landscape.
