The latest collaboration with his wife Dovile Drizyte, The Myth is Juergen Teller's playful interpretation of the "legs up" fertility myth. Following the humorous 2021 series "We are building our future together" in which the Tellers dressed up as construction workers on building sites, this project reflects the next stage of their relationship as they start a family together. The enchanting location is the Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni on Lake Como where the Tellers created images in each and every of the hotel's 97 unique rooms-in some we see the whole of Drizyte's naked body, while in others her cropped legs or feet appear unexpectedly: peeking behind duvets, curtains and furniture, tender juxtapositions in Teller's loving gaze.The theatricality and ambiguity of these performed scenarios recalls Teller's seminal 2004 series "Louis XV" shot with Charlotte Rampling at the Hôtel de Crillon, Paris. This conscious revisiting of a prior experience is firmly embedded in Teller's mythology, yet this time there is an air of serendipity. Run by the same family for four generations and shaped by tradition, the Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni is filled with art alluding to motherhood and the family unit. Paintings and sculptures of pregnancy, babies, storks and cherubs became an unexpected good luck charm for the Tellers' future parenthood and lend their amorous beauty to these deeply personal images, embodiments of the trust and creative connection between Teller and Drizyte.
STEIDL-WERK No.31: GHOSTS IN THE MACHINE is Theseus Chan and Gerhard Steidl's latest adventure in redefining what constitutes a book. The normal starting-point for any book is blank sheets of paper, yet for STEIDL-WERK No.31 that is not the case. Instead, Chan and Steidl have taken already printed "make-ready" sheets from a recent Steidl book-the sheets produced on press while the printing plates build up the right levels of ink to deliver optimal results. Each make-ready sheet shows a different collection of inks and they are normally discarded; here they are the very heart of the book. On top of these sheets (fed into the press in a random order) is printed a new series of Chan's ink drawings-shifting, bleeding, abstract forms or "ghosts," which interact with the underlying images and texts in unpredictable ways. The result is an experiment with technical and optical accidents; each book in the edition, like Chan's drawings, is unique. Presented in a cardboard box with ten posters, ten postcards and a zine, as well as a copy of Steidl Magazine No.7 edited by Chan, STEIDL-WERK No.31 is a treasure trove of offset innovation.Limited edition of 500

Pao Houa Her's first major monograph, My grandfather turned into a tiger ... and other illusions, explores the fundamental concepts of home and belonging: illusion, desire, and loss. Pao Houa Her's work draws inspiration from a myriad of sources: apocryphal family lore; portraits of the artist's community and self; and reimagined landscapes, with Minnesota and Northern California standing in for Laos. The compelling and personal narratives are grounded in the traditions and contemporary metaphors of the Hmong diasporic community. My grandfather turned into a tiger brings together four of the artist's major series, including the title work which reimagines her family's history before leaving Laos. Other work deals with a scandal within the Hmong community in which hundreds of elders were swindled as part of a fraudulent investment scheme built around the promise of a new Hmong homeland. In another series, tonally rich black-and-white still lifes of silk flowers collected by her mother are presented alongside images of flowers that adorn the digitally manipulated, hyper-colored popular backdrops used in Hmong photo studios and on dating apps. This beautifully designed monograph showcases Her's keen eye on the line between ersatz and authenticity; as the artist has stated, photography is "a truth if you want it to be a truth." My grandfather turned into a tiger is the result of the Next Step Award, a partnership between Aperture and Baxter St at the Camera Club of New York, in collaboration with the 7|G Foundation. Each cover is unique, featuring up to thirty-two jacket iterations, but is anchored by the same sticker on the front and back.
"I'm So Happy You Are Here presents a counterpoint, complement, and challenge to historical precedents and the established canon of Japanese photography"--
Pictures for Charis offers a groundbreaking new work by artist Kelli Connell, synthesizing text and image, while raising vital questions about photography, gender, and portraiture in the twenty-first century. Pictures for Charis is a project driven by photographer Kelli Connell's obsession with the writer Charis Wilson, Edward Weston's partner, model, and collaborator during one of the most productive segments of his historic career. Connell focuses on Wilson and Weston's shared legacy, traveling with her own partner, Betsy Odom, to locales where the latter couple made photographs together more than eighty years ago. Wilson wrote extensively about her travels and about her, and Weston's, photographic concerns. In chasing Charis Wilson's ghost, Connell tells her own story, one that finds a kinship with Wilson and, to her surprise, Weston, too, as she navigates her own life and struggles as an artist against a cultural landscape that has changed and yet remains mired in the many of the same thorny issues regarding the nature of desire and inspiration, and the relationship of artist and landscape. This rich weave of narrative and images complicates and breathes new life into a well-known set of photos, while also presenting an entirely new and mesmerizing body of work by Connell, her first work combining image and text as a mode of visual research and storytelling.

A photography book of horses from Northeast Arkansas taken by Cindy & Michael Howard. When Cindy was a small girl, she had her own chocolate Shetland pony named Starbuck.

Henry Bourne’s photographs of the residences and workspaces of a who’s who of creative people open windows onto the groundbreaking design approaches and trends of the last three decades.For nearly thirty years, Bourne has been photographing the residences and studios of, or those designed by, some of the world’s most important artists, architects, designers, and innovators. Culture and society are constantly evolving, and changes, both aesthetic and sociological, are reflected in our physical surroundings. Spaces and portraits in this volume range from the Upstate New York studio of artist Richard Prince, Vincent Van Duysen’s early apartment in Antwerp, and Marc Newson’s residences (his modern former bachelor pad as well as the more textured apartment he shares with Charlotte Stockdale today) to the joyfully chaotic London atelier of artist Paula Rego, the Villa Volpi by architect Tomaso Buzzi near Rome, the London studio of artists Tim Noble and Sue Webster—before and after its sleek renovation, designed by architect David Adjaye.Creative director Peter Saville’s sleek London apartment captures the essence of the 1990s, while the homes of both architect Zaha Hadid and minimalist master John Pawson are self-portraits in design. This book is a collection of the mainly personal spaces and portraits of luminaries at the turn of the twenty-first century, depicting the contradictory yet stimulating language of contemporary design: stylish and functional, maximalist and minimalist, opulent and understated.

"Combining an architect's eye and daredevil aerial approach with the restricted airspace over London provides breathtaking photographs as seen here for the first time. London is one of the most photographed cities in the world. But by shooting with the newest high-resolution cameras while leaning out of helicopters, Milstein offers us a double-take of familiar architecture and landscapes. His award-winning work brings a fresh and unexpected view of the city. Due to strict laws around aerial photography, Milstein treats us to a view that otherwise would not be seen, and this new book fills a gap of more than 15 years of aerial photographs of London. Milstein's distinctive style-straight down-brings London to life in a way that is impossible to imagine from street level: from the Thames snaking through the heart of the city, Buckingham Palace, the British Museum, and the City of London business district to Canary Wharf, Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, the magical symmetry of roads, and the beloved green commons. London from the Air is sure to be treasured by anyone who loves the city by the Thames"--Publisher's description.

In diesem Buch werden Dokumentarfilme analysiert, welche prominent die zeitgenössische Ernährung zum Thema haben. Die audiovisuelle Dokumentation wird dabei als Argumentation begriffen, das Zusammenspiel von bestimmten Inszenierungs-Modi in Sachen Bewegtbild und Ton als rhetorische Figuren, genauer als Tropen, welche jeweils bestimmte Persuasionen zu evozieren imstande sind. Frei nach Ansätzen aus dem Bereich der Neuen Rhetorik und der Psychoanalytischen Filmtheorie (u. a. Christian Metz) wird ein Modell, bestehend aus Metonymie, Synekdoche, Metapher, Katachrese und Ironie, entwickelt, um klären zu können, wie ¿Nahrungs-Aufnahmen¿ argumentationstechnisch oder vielmehr sophistisch, wenn nicht gar rabulistisch funktionieren.
