Fotografi

Dieses Buch ist eine Reiseerzählung der anderen Art. Der Betrachter reist beim Lesen durch die Zeit und bleibt dabei am gleichen Ort, dem Dorf Berka in Thüringen. Das Dorf wurde von drei Fotografen einer Familie über 70 Jahre - zwischen 1950 und 2022 - fotografisch begleitet. Es handelt sich um ein ungewöhnliches, mehreren Zufällen geschuldetes Projekt, das viel erzählt über dieses Land, das Dorf, seine Menschen und wie sich die Dinge so entwickelt haben.Zufall: Der Müllermeister von Berka, Ludwig Schirmer ist begeisterter Amateurfotograf, der nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg neben der Arbeit als Müller noch Zeit findet das Leben im Dorf und auf dem Feld in Bilder zu fassen, die an andere große deutsche Fotografen seiner Zeit erinnern. Zufall: Die Familie Schirmer bekommt 1950 eine Tochter, Ute, die ihre Kindheit in Berka verbringt.Zufall: Ute heiratet 1973 Werner, den sie am Gymnasium in Oranienburg kennenlernt. Beide studieren später an der HGB Leipzig und Werner macht 1977/78 sein Diplom über Utes Heimatdorf, Berka. Zufall: Werner bekommt 1997 einen Auftrag vom STERN, die von Helmut Kohl versprochenen "Blühenden Landschaften" zu fotografieren und geht 1998 noch einmal nach Berka zum Fotografieren. 2001 stirbt Ludwig Schirmer, der in den sechziger Jahren zu einem der bekanntesten Werbefotografen der DDR geworden war und in seinem Nachlass tauchen zufällig einige wenige Abzüge und viele Negative seiner Berka-Bilder auf. Ute Mahler und Werner Mahler machen in ihrer Dunkelkammer erste Abzüge und ihnen wird klar welche künstlerische und dokumentarische Qualität diese Bilder haben. 2021/2022, kein Zufall mehr: Ute Mahler fährt wiederholt nach Berka und portraitiert die Jugendlichen des Dorfes, die noch nicht einmal geboren waren, als Werner Mahler das letzte mal dort fotografierte. Es sind die Ur- oder Ururenkelinnen der Menschen, die Ludwig Schirmer in den fünfziger Jahren kannte und portraitierte.2022/2023, das vollkommen analog und schwarzweiss fotografierte Langzeitprojekt ist abgeschlossen und die Idee des Buches, die schon einige Jahre gereift ist, nimmt erste Formen an. Die Schriftstellerin Jenny Erpenbeck, die Journalistin und Freundin Anja Maier, der Soziologe Steffen Mau (Humboldt Universität Berlin) und der amerikanische Fotohistoriker Gary Van Zante (MIT, Boston) beschreiben den Ort, die Zeit, die Menschen, die Fotografen und Fotografien. Der Grafiker Florian Lamm entwickelt mit subtilen gestalterischen Ideen ein komplexes Layout, das Bilder und Texte in eine dichte Erzählung formt, die an große literarische, fotografische und filmische Vorbilder erinnert. ¿2024, die vielfältigen Bezüge können aufmerksame Betrachter, Leser und Rezensenten rein zufällig selbst entdecken!

Published on the occasion of Edward Burtynsky¿s largest and most comprehensive exhibition to date, at the Saatchi Gallery, London, Extraction / Abstraction looks deeply at the key subjects and signature images spanning his 45-year career. Alongside Burtynsky¿s compelling photographs, the book includes texts by celebrated art historian Simon Schama, who examines Burtynsky¿s work in light of the question ¿Can art help save the world?¿, and by curator Marc Mayer, former director of the National Gallery of Canada, who provides an overview of the photographer¿s achievements as technician, journalist and artist.Extraction / Abstraction presents a dichotomy of Burtynsky¿s image-making imperative: the lucid and informed documentation of large-scale extractive processes, and how he transforms the landscapes of industry into complete abstractions. Other essential themes in his oeuvre such as agriculture, manufacturing, infrastructure and waste also find their rightful place here. With more than 130 color plates, the book furthermore has a special section, the ¿Process Archive,¿ featuring previously unpublished, behind-the-scenes photographs of Burtynsky at work on the ground and in the air throughout his career. The archive provides a glimpse into the artist¿s progression through the evolution of the medium itself, from mid twentieth-century large-format analogue (film-based) cameras, through to twenty-first-century high-resolution digital technologies, including explorations into photogrammetry and augmented reality.

Trish spends her time hustling and cheating to score. Heroin, Dilaudids, whatever she can get.Precisely plotting the slippery slope of a heroin addict's existence, The Hummingbird Kiss paints a bleak picture but still manages to offer a ray of hope. The '70s are young, and 18-year-old Trish is a newlywed. When a Florida judge sentences her junkie husband to ten years for stealing stereos, she immediately seeks out a fix, and before she knows it she's hooked. There follows a long sojourn as she and her friends work small scams to score, head to California in search of better highs, move back to Florida, shoot up and nod off every chance they get - until death gets some of them.MacEnulty has constructed a gritty and sorrowful book about a young girl with an appetite for the damage done. Trish comes from a broken but still functional family. She's witty, articulate and street-smart enough to know better than to get caught up in this life of self destruction, but childhood abandonment and the ensuing self-loathing are too much for her to manage without medication. Her life unravels as her cross-country wanderings take her from drug dens to rehabs to prison, with a few bleary-eyed months spent scoring drugs in the Tijuana barrios.The author spares us no detail of her sordid descent, but Trish remains an engaging voice whose innate grain of goodness and interest in humanity keeps the reader on her side. Trish declines to blame anyone for her calamitous state. All she wants is the "hummingbird kiss of the needle" - the most wonderful experience she knows - until she inevitably winds up in prison and rediscovers the girl she once was."Searingly honest, often funny, always sordid story of a junkie's life in the 1970s."-Chauncey Mabe, Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel

Jim Wyman is the last full-time resident on a one-lane, dirt, dead-end road at the tip of a long peninsula in the middle of a very large lake in northern Vermont. He was born and raised in the foothills of the Longfellow Range of the Appalachian Mountains in western Maine. Never having lived more than 50 miles away from 45 degrees north latitude, he has grown to appreciate the texture of the woods, fields, and hills of Northern New England, and the myriad of colors-ranging from the cold black and white of winter to the light-filled prism of a hardwood forest in fall.In an effort to capture and share his mind's eye view of this beauty, Jim studied film photography and quickly realized he was allergic to darkroom chemicals. Then came digital photography. As a published poet, Jim admired the work of Ann Atwood and her gift for combining poetry with photography. It was then he began to experiment with the possibility of blending his poetry with his photography using digital photographic applications and techniques. His intention was to meld the visual impact of New England landscape photography with the mind's eye view-the poem. This book is the result of his efforts.

A deeply moving and brilliantly idiosyncratic visual book of days by the National Book Award-winning author of Just Kids and M Train. More than 365 images chart Smith's singular aesthetic - inspired by her wildly popular InstagramIn 2018, without any plan or agenda for what might happen next, Patti Smith posted her first Instagram photo: her hand with the simple message "Hello Everybody!" Known for shooting with her beloved Land Camera 250, Smith started posting images from her phone including portraits of her kids, her radiator, her boots, and her Abyssinian cat, Cairo. Followers felt an immediate affinity with these miniature windows into Smith's world, photographs of her daily coffee, the books she's reading, the graves of beloved heroes - William Blake, Dylan Thomas, Sylvia Plath, Simone Weil, Albert Camus. Over time, a coherent story of a life devoted to art took shape, and more than a million followers responded to Smith's unique aesthetic in images that chart her passions, devotions, obsessions, and whims. Original to this book are vintage photographs: anniversary pearls, a mother's keychain, and a husband's Mosrite guitar. Here, too, are never-before-seen photos of life on and off the road, train stations, obscure cafés, a notebook always nearby. In wide-ranging yet intimate daily notations, Smith shares dispatches from her travels around the world.With 365 photographs, taking you through a single year, A Book of Days is a new way to experience the expansive mind of the visionary poet, writer, and performer. Hopeful, elegiac, playful - and complete with an introduction by Smith that explores her documentary process - A Book of Days is a timeless offering for deeply uncertain times, an inspirational map of an artist's life.

Since 2000, computer searches are leading to develop systems capable of recognising and interpreting human emotions. Clément Lambelet gets interested in process of facial automatic recognition and reflects upon its generalisation regarding to its development in every social media (Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat). For the book Happiness is the only true emotion, he worked on a panel of portraits given by the Pain Express Set from Stirling University in Scotland, he selected one emotion per person, reframed images and saved only the face. The artist manipulated each photograph and worked on its materiality to get more expressive images. These portraits become a vector of emotion. Each picture is then submitted to the Microsoft Cognitive Emotion API challenging the accuracy of these systems. The Emotion API only recognises Happiness with certitude.

On March 6th 1984 miners at Cortonwood Colliery in Yorkshire went on strike. Six days later, on March 12th, NUM President, Arthur Scargill, made the strike official across Britain. And so began the UK's biggest strike since the General Strike of 1928. It ran for almost a year until March 1985 - a year of bitter conflict between the miners and Margaret Thatcher and her government and marked the end of the mining era in Britain. 24 year-old Michael Kerstgens was studying photography in Germany at the time. But he had strong links with South Wales having been born in Llanelli and spending his early years there. His father had also spent twelve years working in South Wales for an engineering company involved with the mining industry. As a sixteen year old Gerstgens took a summer job at the company's Swansea office. He also experienced the underground life of the miners at Cynheidre Colliery. It's not surprising therefore that once Kerstgens heard about the strike he went to South Wales to find out what was going on and to start what would be his first major photography project. Kertsgens' friends and contacts enabled him access to much that was closed off to the press and when he later moved on to Yorkshire he lived with the family of a striking miner whose wife, Marsha Marshall, was one of the leading lights of Woman Against Pit Closures (WAPC). He even met Arthur Scargill. The resultant photographs offer a powerful insight into what was a brutal strike that tore a rift through British society, entire mining communities, and even individual families.

The Victorian and Edwardian periods saw the development of the steam locomotive in Britain from a comparatively simple machine to a powerful main line express capable of speeds of a hundred miles an hour. The book starts with an introduction dealing with the main line of development and that is followed by a picture section with over 190 photographs. Each illustration has an extended caption giving details of the engine and its history. The material is arranged geographically, starting with the railways of southern England and ending with Irish railways. The Channel Islands, the Isle of Wight and the Isle of Man are also included, and there is a section on English light railway. The photographs are all of the locomotives in their working days, many showing them in action on both passenger and goods trains. This splendid collection shows the rich diversity of Britain‿s railways and how different companies and their engineers produced engines of great individuality. This is a book that will be enjoyed by all lovers of the golden age of steam railways.
