Usually, people who talk about the Camino de Santiago mention the many kilometers they have travelled, the countless encounters along the way, and evenings spent in rustic guesthouses. Willi Filz (b. 1962) travelled the two great northern Spanish Caminos between 2015 and 2022 after falling victim to a twist of fate. His enchanting landscape and nature photographs do not show streams of pilgrims, lodgings, or cathedrals, but instead bear direct testimony to the experience of stillness and contemplation. The black and white photographs show motifs viewed directly from the Camino, drawn from moments of pause and contemplation. The photographer is not concerned with any kind of spectacular narrative. "The incidental is always there on our journeys, the insignificant always plays a part - and, if I pay attention to it, it whispers in my ear many of the answers I have spent years searching for."

The global food crisis according to photographer Kadir van Lohuize. With unique infographics and facts and figures that map out the food crisis in great detail.

American Gothic, Gordon Parks' 1942 portrait of government worker Ella Watson, is among the most celebrated photographs of the twentieth century. Created as part of an extensive collaboration between the photographer and his subject, it is at once a record of one woman's position within the racial, professional and economic hierarchies that stratified the nation's capital and Parks' visual reckoning with the realities of living in racially segregated Washington, D.C. Through his work with Watson-a custodian in the government building where he worked-Parks composed an intimate portrait of Black life by focusing on everyday activities, from work routines to family meals and church services. The resulting photographs trace a remarkably intimate portrait of Watson as a multidimensional figure, cherished by her community and vitally important within the civic sphere. American Gothic. Gordon Parks and Ella Watson provides a comprehensive overview of this pivotal series of photographs, including more than 50 images, some never published before, and additional archival material.Co-published with The Gordon Parks Foundation and the Minneapolis Institute of Art

Originally published in 1971, Gordon Parks' Born Black was the first book to unite his writing and his photography. It was also the first to provide a focused survey of Parks' documentation of a crucial time for the civil rights and Black Power movements. Today, more than 50 years later, this expanded edition of Born Black illuminates Parks' vision for the book and offers deeper insight into the series within it. The original publication featured nine articles commissioned by Life magazine from 1963 to 1970-some never-before published-supplemented with later commentary by Parks and presented as his personal account of these important historical moments. Born Black includes the original text and images, as well as additional photographs from each series, spreads from the 1971 book, early correspondence, reproductions of related Life articles, and new scholarly essays. The nine series selected by Parks for Born Black-a rare glimpse inside San Quentin State Prison; extensive documentation of the Black Muslim movement and the Black Panthers; his commentaries on the deaths of civil rights leaders Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr.; intimate portrait studies of Stokely Carmichael, Muhammad Ali and Eldridge Cleaver; and a narrative of the daily life of the impoverished Fontenelle family in Harlem-have come to define his legendary career as a photographer and activist. This reimagined, comprehensive edition of Born Black highlights the lasting legacy of these projects and their importance to our understanding of critical years in American history.Co-published with The Gordon Parks Foundation

Sprachen: Deutsch, Englisch Erstklassige Street Photography mit künstlerischem Anspruch Fernab der Hektik von New York City: Schwarz-Weiß-Fotografien mit einer ruhigen Ästhetik und Atmosphäre Mit bemerkenswerten Aufnahmen der menschenleeren Straßen New Yorks während des Covid Lockdowns Für alle, die auf der Suche nach einem außergewöhnlichen Coffee Table Book über New York sind. "New York Street Diaries" ist ein beeindruckender Bildband für alle Fans des Big Apple. Phil Penman zeigt darin die Großstadt an der Ostküste der USA von einer Seite, die nur selten zu sehen ist, nämlich ruhig und beschaulich. Die Bilder entstanden teils während des großen Schneesturms und teils während des Corona Lockdowns und sind damit Zeitzeugen der Pandemiebeschränkungen, die unsere bis dato bekannte Welt völlig auf den Kopf stellten. Der gebürtige Brite fotografiert seit weit mehr als zwei Jahrzehnten auf den Straßen New Yorks. Bekannt ist er unter anderem durch seine Aufnahmen von berühmten Größen wie Michael Jackson, Madonna, Jennifer Lopez oder Bill Gates. Als am 11. September 2001 die größte Tragödie in der Geschichte New Yorks die Stadt erschütterte, war Phil Penman vor Ort und schuf einzigartige Zeitaufnahmen der Ereignisse mit seiner Kamera. Penman versteht es auf beeindruckende Art und Weise die Stadt in ihren sensibelsten Momenten abzulichten. Er fängt in seinen Schwarz-Weiß-Fotografien intime Momente ein und zeigt die Menschen und Straßen von New York City weit abseits von Hektik und Trubel. Das Stadtleben der Metropole wird dabei so hautnah präsentiert, dass einige Bilder beim Betrachter unweigerlich ein Lächeln hervorrufen. Penman katapultiert seinen Leser mit einer erfrischenden Direktheit förmlich in die Szene hinein und man hat das Gefühl wirklich anwesend zu sein. Das großformatige und aufwendig gestaltete Coffee Table Book zeigt die besten Fotografien von Phil Penman und sollte bei keinem New-York-Liebhaber zu Hause fehlen. Ob als Geschenk oder einfach nur für sich selbst, dieser Bildband ist so wundervoll, dass man ihn kaum noch aus der Hand legen möchte.

Im Jahre 1983 verriet der japanische Modeschöpfer Issey Miyake dem New Yorker, er wolle gänzlich neue Wege in der Mode beschreiten. Diesem Vorsatz blieb er treu: Mit einer einzigartigen Fusion von Poesie und Tragbarkeit verwischen seine Kreationen die Grenzen zwischen Tradition, moderner Technologie und alltäglicher Funktionalität.Dieser Band über Issey Miyakes Mode zeigt, wie intensiv er sich von 1960 bis 2022 mit Textilforschung, mit Stoffen, Strukturen und Techniken befasst hat und wie kühn er seine Vision von einem Brückenschlag zwischen Tradition und Innovation, Natur und Technologie, östlicher und westlicher Kultur realisiert hat. Midori Kitamura, die fast 50 Jahre lang mit Miyake zusammenarbeitete, zeichnet seine Karriere von der Gründung des Miyake Design Studios in Tokio über sein revolutionäres A Piece of Cloth-Konzept, die Entwürfe der Body Series der 1980er-Jahre und der Miyake Pleats-Kollektion der 1990er bis zu den praktischen Pleats Please-Alltagsstücken nach.Kulturikone Kazuko Koike führt chronologisch durch seine faszinierenden Kollektionen, seine Visionen und Inspirationen. Eine Pflichtlektüre für jeden Modeschöpfer, -studenten und -fan und eine fesselnde Hommage an einen der innovativsten Modemacher unserer Zeit.
