In his photo volume 'Modoru Okinawa' by Keizo KITAJIMA, the Japanese photographer portrays the seductively run-down Okinawa of the 1970s. He mainly wanted to express the relationship between photography and reality.

'Common Dreams' by Kai LÖFFELBEIN reflects China's change and the existing contrasts. It critically examines its social and economic transformation with a focus on the lives of migrant workers who have to live in the outskirts of the large metropolises.

This paperback volume, 'Shomei Tomatsu. Japan 1952-1981' from 1984 is a very informative catalog on the work of the Japanese photographer due to its well-made, precise selection of black-and-white photos as well as the essays written in two languages.

This publication shows black & white protest photos from the 1960s in Japan. 'Agitators', however, is a more modern publication format of older photographic material, in which the photographer is involved. Kazuo KITAI played a decisive role in the design.

Portraits of some of the largest cities in the world. The metropolises conceived and built as vessels of human activity are transformed into monuments of silence: empty, sometimes eerie places for activity and relaxation that still have to take place.
