Something special

For this artist edition of 'Neue Welt', Wolfgang TILLMANS has selected 72 images and re-contextualized them on large, 24 folded printed sheets. Each is a separate object with a front, center fold and back. And some new photos are not included in the book.

From a distance we can see Luis Alberto RODRIGUEZ' 'People of the Mud' as a collective community portrait of all the different elements that construct modern, rural Irish identities. It gathers all the ruptures & continuities between the past and present.

Signed! 'In Limbo' by Florian BACHMEIER, describes a state of numbness & insecurity against the backdrop of the Ukraine conflict. The images, taken over the last 8 years, make historical processes visible, as well as their psychological & social effects.

A faithful faksimile of the artist book 'Snowflakes Dog Man' by Hajime KIMURA. Three offset printed volumes in a black screen printed and handmade cardboard. The dreamy softness and delicacy of the images is intoxicating and disturbing at the same time.

The 'Protest Box' compiled by British photographer as well as photo book expert Martin Parr contains five facsimile editions of out-of-print photo volumes by Enrique BOSTELMANN, Paolo GASPARINI, Dirk ALVERMANN, Kauz KITAI and Paolo MATIOLI & Anna CANDIANI

The catalogue 'Photobooks. Art Page by Page' accompanies an exhibition with a selection of 45 photo books from recent decades, focusing on unusual concepts, designs & forms of presentation that reveal the potential of the photo book as an artistic medium.

In 'Surf Tribe' Stephan VANFLETEREN shows that surf culture encompasses much more than just sport and competition: the feeling of nullity regarding the forces of nature. Surfers use the waves for the fun, but also to forget and to fight with himself.

In his out-of-print photo volume, 'Impasse Hotel Syria', Krass CLEMENT does without any text, because the pictures leave no question unanswered. The very personal travel and photo book describes the recent past of the country in pictures taken since 2001
