»Die Fabriken und Stahlwerke sind mein erweitertes Atelier.« Mit diesen Worten verweist der amerikanische Bildhauer Richard Serra auf die Prozesse, die zur Entstehung seiner oft großformatigen Skulpturen erforderlich sind. Ebenso wie seine häufig im öffentlichen Raum installierten Werke das Museum als alleinigen Ausstellungsort verlassen, verlagert sich die höchst aufwendige Produktion der Skulpturen vom Atelier in die Stahlwerke. An die Stelle einsamer künstlerische Handarbeit tritt ein komplexer, energieintensiver und arbeitsteiliger Prozess in der Schwerindustrie. Aus industrieller Zusammenarbeit gehen jeweils einzigartige Kunstwerke hervor, und nicht selten führt die Auseinandersetzung mit den industriellen Arbeitsweisen zu neuen Werken: work comes out of work.Der Fotograf Dirk Reinartz hat über viele Jahre hinweg im Auftrag von und in Zusammenarbeit mit Richard Serra die Entstehung und den Aufbau von dessen Skulpturen fotografisch begleitet. Dabei entstanden Bilder, die weit über eine reine Dokumentation hinausgehen und eine eigene Bildqualität entwickeln. Reinartz' subtil graduierte Schwarz- Weiß-Fotografie fängt die besondere Atmosphäre im Walzwerk, in der Schmiede und in der industriellen Weiterverarbeitung ein, ohne auf vordergründige Effekte zu zielen. Sowohl die Produktion der einzelnen Skulpturenelemente als auch die fertig installierten Werke hält Reinartz in eindrücklichen Aufnahmen fest, gleichermaßen zurückhaltend und souverän.Sprachen: Deutsch, Englisch

Now available in paperback, this compelling book is full of behavioural insights and wolf tales that will engage those interested in the state of wild wolves throughout North America.In the winter of 2008¿09, a new wolf family from the Pipestone Valley suddenly appeared in the Bow Valley of Banff National Park, taking up residence alongside a family that had ruled there for over a decade. Within a year, these new wolves had eliminated the Bow Valley wolves and established a dominance that would last for five years in the heart of Canadäs most famous national park.The book chronicles not only the rise of the Pipestones and how they established and maintained dominance in the valley, but also how an increase in mass tourism in Banff led to a decrease in prey density for the Pipestones, which in turn led to the wolves changing their hunting strategies and expanding their summer range. Bloch explains how the Pipestones faced an inevitable fall from the top as pressure from eager wolf watchers increased exponentially in the park at the same time the wolves¿ prey base was shrinking rapidly. Combining these influences with other factors like rail mortality and old age, Bloch and Marriott knew the end was near for the Pipestones.The authors conclude with insights into how wolf and wildlife management in Banff National Park can improve. They outline steps Parks Canada should be taking to deal with the human management problems that are really at the core of the wildlife issues in the park. They also discuss whether we can continue to maintain a balance between ecological integrity and mass tourism in Canadäs flagship park and whether it is already too late. Have we passed the point of no return? And will our Banff wolves live forever after in a wildlife ghetto devoid of true wilderness characteristics?

How a single haunting image tells a story about violence, mourning, and memoryIn 1865, Clara Barton traveled to Andersonville, Georgia, the site of the notorious Confederate prison camp, where she endeavored to name the missing and the dead. The future founder of the American Red Cross collected their relics and brought them back to her "Missing Soldiers Office" in Washington, DC, presenting them to politicians, journalists, and veterans' families before having them photographed. Produced by Mathew Brady, the photograph depicts an altar-like arrangement of whittled spoons, woven reed plates, bits of bone, a piece from the prison's "dead line," and a tattered Bible. Relics of War reveals how this powerful image opens a window onto the volatile relationship between suffering, martyrdom, and justice in the wake of the Civil War. Jennifer Raab shows how this photograph was a crucial part of Barton's efforts to address the staggering losses of a war in which nearly half of the dead were unnamed and from which bodies were rarely returned home for burial. The Andersonville relics gave form to these absent bodies, offered a sacred site for grief and devotion, mounted an appeal on behalf of the women and children left behind, and testified to the crimes of war. Considering where and for whom the photograph was made illuminates how military sacrifice was racialized as political reconciliation began, and how the stories of Black prisoners, soldiers, and veterans were silenced. Richly illustrated, Relics of War vividly demonstrates how one photograph can capture a precarious moment in history, serving as witness, advocate, evidence, and memory.

A book about the craft of camera-using and the creative struggle of picture-making.Learning how a camera works is not difficult. Once you understand how to focus and expose, the rest are details. So why is it such a challenge to make photographs that feel like they do what we hope for? Could it be we're asking the camera to do the work that all along has been ours to figure out? Is it possible we've been thinking too much about the camera and not enough about our own creativity? In an industry that obsesses over the gear and all too often ignores the deeper questions around creativity and expression, this should come as no surprise.It's true, the camera sees differently than we do. As our creative collaborator it can do things that we simply cannot. It can see much faster (1/8000 of a second) and much slower (8 seconds, or 8 minutes) than we can. It can cut the light in half, or double it. It can magnify, compress, and otherwise transform our field of view through lens and aperture choices. Learning to see as the camera does is, itself, an exercise in creative thinking and imagination.The journey of mastering this craft is not so much about bending the camera to our will, but working with the many different ways the camera is able to see the world in order to create photographs that express the way we see and feel about it. That effort is more creative than it is technical. Crucially, this journey is also about learning to give ourselves the permission to create photographs that are truly our own, to risk and experiment, and to explore and play. Too often we hold ourselves back.In Light, Space, and Time, photographer, teacher, and author David duChemin helps you learn to look in the same way as the camera does, and to think in the same language as the camera speaks. In 20 powerful essays, and featuring more than 100 beautiful photographs, David explores the place of the human behind the camera in the act of picture making, and he does so with the same inspiring heart, soul, and voice that he has brought to his previous best-selling books. Books that teach not only how to make photographs, but how to think like a photographer. Throughout the book, David encourages you to move beyond the functions of your camera to embrace the creative choices those functions make possible. This exploration provides new frameworks for thinking about your decisions, presents new ways to see and look, raises new questions about the challenges we face in being creative, and offers new answers as you carve out your own unique path forward. Most importantly, David will inspire you to head out with your camera and play with the possibilities held by every intersection of light, space, and time that eventually becomes a photograph.The result of all this? Freedom. Freedom to find new ways of wrestling with the challenges we all face when collaborating with the camera to make something that is truly our own. Freedom to embrace your fundamental creative nature, to overcome the fear of trying something new. Freedom to work as an artist more at ease with a process that's inherently messy. And freedom to make the kinds of photographs you've always wanted to create.

In der Geschichte der Architektur erscheinen die Städte Rom und Las Vegas in starkem Kontrast: Während die ehemalige Hauptstadt des Römischen Reiches als antik, vornehm und vielschichtig wahrgenommen wird, gilt "Sin City", die Stadt der Sünde, als schrill, vulgär und künstlich. Und doch befinden sich beide Städte historisch und zeitgenössisch an der Schnittstelle von Macht und Spiel.Fünfzig Jahre nach dem Erscheinen von Denise Scott Brown und Robert Venturis ikonischem Buch "Lernen von Las Vegas" (1972) offenbaren die Aufnahmen in diesem Buch ungeahnte Übereinstimmungen und Zusammenhänge der beiden Städte, aus der Luft bis zum Fussboden; das Spektakel Las Vegas wird auf Roms Strassen wiederentdeckt. Iwan Baans Fotografien kontrastieren und untergraben herkömmliche Auffassungen von Authentizität und Künstlichkeit und stellen solche polaren Kategorisierungen letztendlich infrage. Auf diese Weise erörtern die Aufnahmen Scott Browns und Venturis Plädoyer, zuerst zu schauen, zu verstehen und erst dann zu urteilen.

Living a healthy lifestyle is essential for everyone, regardless of age, gender, or background. It is a conscious choice that has numerous benefits for our physical, mental, and emotional well-being. In this subchapter, we will explore the significance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle and provide you with some practical tips to incorporate into your everyday routine.First and foremost, a healthy lifestyle helps prevent chronic diseases. By adopting healthy habits such as regular exercise, balanced nutrition, and adequate sleep, you can reduce the risk of developing conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. These lifestyle choices also strengthen your immune system, making you more resilient against infections and illnesses.Maintaining a healthy lifestyle also enhances your mental health. Engaging in physical activity boosts the production of endorphins, the "feel-good" hormones that alleviate stress, anxiety, and depression. Additionally, a balanced diet rich in essential nutrients nourishes your brain, improving cognitive function and enhancing your overall mood.Furthermore, a healthy lifestyle promotes longevity and a higher quality of life. Regular exercise and a nutritious diet contribute to maintaining a healthy weight, reducing the risk of age-related issues such as joint problems and osteoporosis. By taking care of your body and mind, you can enjoy an active, fulfilling life well into your golden years.Incorporating healthy habits into your daily routine doesn't have to be overwhelming. Start small and gradually build up to more significant changes. Begin by incorporating physical activity into your day, whether it's walking, cycling, or dancing. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise most days of the week.Additionally, prioritize nutrition by consuming a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Avoid processed foods and sugary drinks, opting for wholesome, natural alternatives. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day.Lastly, don't forget the importance of rest and relaxation. Ensure you get enough sleep each night to allow your body and mind to rejuvenate. Incorporate stress-relief techniques into your routine, such as meditation, deep breathing exercises, or engaging in hobbies you enjoy

This book traces the origins of Baz Luhrmann¿s Moulin Rouge! (2001) to opera, employing a variety of theoretical frameworks to highlight their aesthetic and ideological correlation. Through intertextuality, allusions to opera are examined in terms of story, setting and character, while issues of social class, gender representation and orientalism are raised. Prominent examples from opera include Verdi¿s La Traviata, Puccini¿s La Bohème as well as 19th century French opera, such as works by Offenbach, Massenet and Gounod. Furthermore, the book explores how the formal elements of opera are translated into the film with a postmodern twist, thus enhancing the interplay between the two media. Moulin Rouge!¿s theatricality and self-reflexivity renegotiate the tropes of stage performance, rendering the film a love letter to opera.
