The first comprehensive monograph on the work of Lena Herzog, the Russian-born conceptual and multidisciplinary photographer and artistThis first comprehensive monograph on the work of Lena Herzog is an exhaustive review of three decades of activity, described in essays by professors Silvia Burini and Giuseppe Barbieri of Ca' Foscari University in Venice. Lena Herzog's undaunted and engaging look spans over boundaries and chasms between different levels of life, time, and memory. Her work investigates the universal mystery of being human, from the Cabinets of Wonder and Curiosities of the 18th and 19th centuries to the hollowed out rock formations atop of tepuis in Amazonia, from the deep rituals of the West to the emptiness of nameless lands in the Far East. The various portfolios, here transversally arranged, provide a fascinating cartography of our time and history. Through innovative experimentation, Lena Herzog fuses Renaissance engraving practices, early techniques of developing and printing photographic images, and cutting edge virtual reality and immersive technologies. In her latest projects, she confronts and denounces the extinction of thousands of languages and foretells the possible and final collapse of the planet. These are images between shadow and light, which, as in Goya, pursue the truth of things, gestures, and faces, and in which we find echoes of her childhood phantoms at the foothills of the Ural Mountains.
"In Focus" is not just a book; it's a visual odyssey paying homage to the world's most exceptional architecture and interiors photographers.

An illuminating introduction to little-known photographer Issei Suda, who captured the soul of Japan old and new. The work of Issei Suda (1940-2019) is distinct in contemporary avant-garde Japanese photography for its celebration of the beauty of the everyday. His black and white pictures reflect on apparent banality of urban life, capturing 'the little surprises usually ignored in our world': the shadow of a figure, the shapes of the street, the expressions on stranger's faces. Suda's practice revealed the tensions between old and new Japan, juxtaposing the ingrained visual traditions of Japanese culture with the prevailing western vocabulary of fashion, advertising and leisure, as seen through his observant and tender lens.

Let's get one thing out of the way: Penile Photography is Art. Taken seriously and elevated to the artistic level it deserves, penile photography is so much more than the hastily taken photographs, quickly published to social media and an unsuspecting, uninterested viewer. While so- called "dick pics", (vulgar slang for penis photographs) have become a ubiquitous, yet unwelcome element in modern culture, photographically it is none the less trite and banal. The penis is a beautiful organ, symbolically intriguing, functionally dynamic and full of meaning to its owner. The personal artistic endeavor of photographing one's own penis is a journey of self-discovery, a liberation from notions of expression of personal creativity and healthy self-love. This book will inspire and help you elevate your plain and uninspiring penis photos to beautiful penile art that is appreciated on a multitude of levels.
