The out-of-print volume, 'Später Sommer. Letzter Herbst', follows in sequence & format the handmade leporello 'Später Sommer/Letzter Herbst' by Ulrich WÜST, transforming it into a book and brings together series as well as some individual images from 1989

Unlike in his thematic stories, out-of-print book 'Jahrebuch' by Ulrich WÜST reveals something very personal & private. Here, the world seems to be surrounded by a melancholy veil that does not conceal anything, but rather reveals the precision of vision.

'Interrogations' is the result of a search for the hidden meaning of the bloody 20th century. Donald WEBER addresses his questions to both the living survivors and the ghosts of the state's countless victims: cops, laborers, thugs, dissidents and goons.

In 'Deleted Scene', Yury TOROPTSOV arranges archival documents, old photographs, views, fragments or 'deleted scenes' as a narrative. They appear as tracks that invite the viewer to lose himself and encourage the hunter to continue his relentless pursuit.

The 'Soviet Union' left behind a huge legacy of design that is largely unknown in the West. For the first time, this opulent volume offers a richly overview of Soviet interior architecture from constructivism to Art Deco and back to Avantgarde & Bauhaus.

For 'Arrivals and Departures' Jacob Aue SOBOL photographed twins in their home in Moscow, chased hunters in the mountains of Ulan-Bator and hurried pedestrians in busy Beijing. A photographic journey whose common thread are only the rails of the Transsib.

In impressive b/w shots between documentary and art photography, Jacob Aue SOBOL sketches the preserved love of the two protagonists in the photo volume 'Onse and Axel' full of warmth. The thin large-format is wonderfully suited for this little insight.
