'In My Room' contains nude studies in black and white that Saul LEITER made indoors in his studio in New York, often illuminated by the lush natural light. In the 1970s he planned to turn them into a book, which was never realized during his lifetime.

What emerges in 'Golden Apple of the Sun' by Teju COLE, is a surprising portrait of a kitchen table in a home at a time of social, cultural as well as political upheaval. A written essay whose themes are as broad as the photos are broad in their subjects.

In out-of-print book 'Nichtraum' Nicole AHLAND depicts the interplay of light, space & tim showing deserted spaces, shifted into darkness or overexposed by light. Using analog photography, she creates effects of transparency, superimposition & soft focus.

In 'Conversations', Rémi Coignet explores in interviews the question of what role the photo book plays in the work of photographers, designers & publishers and how their titles are conceived. Two more volumes with interviews have been published until now.
