'Algeria' by Dirk ALVERMANN consists of political contemporary documents, quotes from French military sources, pamphlets, newspapers and magazines that once accompanied him. As facsimile, it was also part of the sought-after 'Protest Box' by Martin Parr.

The 'Dirk-ALVERMANN-Photobook-Library' currently contains one copy each of nine publications, which are already out of print at their publishers. Some of the books are SIGNED, like 'Keine Experimente' (1961), 'Zwischen den Zeiten' (2006) & 'dacapo' (2008)

The black-and-white images in the out-of-print 'Sahraouis. Existences-Résistances' by Rogério FERRARI are the result of a month and a half of living together in the Sahara refugee camps in Tindouf in Algeria as well as in the liberated area of Tifariti.

In his photo book 'A Little Louder', Algerian photographer Abdo SHANAN interrogates and documents in his own way, the 'Hirak', the peaceful protest movement that has shaken Algeria since February 22, 2019 and that continues with vigor despite the pandemic

With reportages from Albania, Italy, Poland, Spain & UK, Dirk ALVERMANN reminds in 'Streiflichter 1956-65' of the richness and diversity of European culture and history. Like fairy tales from ancient times, the b/w images tell of Europe's political roots.
