Time Together, a collection of poems and photographs by Naomi Beth Wakan and Elias Wakan, is dedicated with love to Gabriola, the island near Vancouver, British Columbia, where the couple has lived for some twenty years. Both in their nineties, the Wakans have each been solo artists for quite some time: Elias, a photographer and sculptor using wood as his medium; Naomi, an essayist and poet, and dabbler in many other art forms. This book, however, was a joint adventure, and creating it was an opportunity both to look back on their time spent with each other as well as their time spent on the island whose earth and people have gifted them with lives of joy and bounty. Time Together is a celebration of longevity, community, and love.

Zweisprachige Ausgabe (deutsch/englisch) / Bilingual edition (English/German) Das ICC Berlin ist ein Gesamtkunstwerk. Eine gigantische Zeitkapsel, die seit fast einem Jahrzehnt auf ein neues Nutzungskonzept wartet. Geplant in den 1960er Jahren und 1979 eröffnet, zieht das Messegebäude von Ursulina Schüler-Witte und Ralf Schüler mit dem unverwechselbaren Leitsystem Frank Oehrings nach wie vor Aufmerksamkeit auf sich. Überwältigt das brachiale Gebäude durch seine äußere Gestalt, zeigt es sich im Innern mit einer ruhigen Ausstrahlung und ermöglicht durch die Panoramafenster einen Blick nach draußen auf den plötzlich lautlosen Verkehr.Zara Pfeifer hat sich mit ihren Fotografien diesem Inneren des Gebäudes verschrieben. Mit einer unsentimentalen Nüchternheit dokumentiert sie das weitestgehend originalgetreu erhaltene Innenleben des "Koloss von Witzleben", des "Panzerkreuzer Charlottenburg", der "Halle Größenwahn". Ihre Aufnahmen spüren die bemerkenswerten Details des Gebäudes auf und halten den Schwebezustand, in dem es sich seit Jahren befindet, fest. Mit einem Text von Florian Heilmeyer

The book is for the beach walker who wonders about where sand comes from, how shells are formed, and what happened to them along the way. He would be able to find the life story of some broken shell: how did they died? Did they spend time buried in the mud?

Afghans revere poetry, particularly the high literary forms that derive from Persian or Arabic. But the poem above is a folk couplet-a landay, an ancient oral and anonymous form created by and for mostly illiterate people: the more than 20 million Pashtun women who span the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan. War, separation, homeland, love-these are the subjects of landays, which are brutal and spare, can be remixed like rap, and are powerful in that they make no attempts to be literary. From Facebook to drone strikes to the songs of the ancient caravans that first brought these poems to Afghanistan thousands of years ago, landays reflect contemporary Pashtun life and the impact of three decades of war. With the U.S. withdrawal in 2014 looming, these are the voices of protest most at risk of being lost when the Americans leave.After learning the story of a teenage girl who was forbidden to write poems and set herself on fire in protest, the poet Eliza Griswold and the photographer Seamus Murphy journeyed to Afghanistan to learn about these women and to collect their landays. The poems gathered in I Am the Beggar of the World express a collective rage, a lament, a filthy joke, a love of homeland, an aching longing, a call to arms, all of which belie any facile image of a Pashtun woman as nothing but a mute ghost beneath a blue burqa.

You don't want good pictures from your new Nikon D750-you demand outstanding photos. Afterall, the revamped D750 is the most advanced camera in the $2,300 price range that Nikon has everintroduced. It boasts 24 megapixels of resolution, blazing-fast automatic focus, and professionallevelvideo capabilities. But your gateway to pixel proficiency is dragged down by the fat but confusingbook included in the box as a manual.You know everything you need to know is in there, somewhere, but you don't know where to start.In addition, the camera manual doesn't offer much information on photography or digital photography.Nor are you interested in spending hours or days studying a comprehensive book on digitalSLR photography that doesn't necessarily apply directly to your D750.What you need is a guide that explains the purpose and function of the D750's basic controls, howyou should use them, and why. Ideally, there should be information about file formats, resolution,aperture/priority exposure, and special autofocus modes, but you'd prefer to read about those topicsonly after you've had the chance to go out and take a few hundred great pictures with your newcamera. Why isn't there a book that summarizes the most important information in its first two orthree chapters, with lots of illustrations showing what your results will look like when you use thissetting or that? This is that book.

"African Americans have contributed greatly to the history of American agriculture. One of its most compelling stories is the New Farmers of America (NFA), which was a national organization of Black farm boys studying vocational agriculture in the public schools throughout 18 states in the eastern and southern United States from 1927 to 1965. The organization was started at the suggestion of Dr. H.O. Sargent, federal agent for agricultural education for Blacks, who felt the time was ripe for an organization of Black agricultural students. Operating within the auspices of the Separate but Equal Doctrine, the NFA started at Virginia State University in May 1927 with a few chapters and members and concluded in 1965 with more than 1,000 chapters and more than 58,000 active members, merging with the Future Farmers of America (FFA) as a result of the Civil Rights Act of 1964."--Back cover.

The mesmerising pictures in The Earth are combined with powerful quotes about the importance of protecting the world around us. Each chapter begins with an infographic depicting the issues faced by that area of the world, like our forests, prairies, mountains, and glaciers.

Yasser Alwan photographed in and around Cairo, recording encounters with people in the streets, at the racetrack, in cafes, and in places of work-tanneries, quarries, bookshops, or potteries. His portraits of workers living in conditions of unimaginable poverty and political dispossession are remarkable for their refusal of the clichés of social documentary and photojournalism. They show people between anger, pride, and perseverance, yet convey a sense of trust toward the photographer. Complementary to his intimate images of friends and family form a collective portrait of the middle class seen in the relaxed informalities of daily life. This collection of Alwan's photographs offers an unprecedented and unique picture of Egyptian society, introducing an outstanding body of work in contemporary photography from the Arab world.YASSER ALWAN (*1964, Lagos - 2022, Cairo) was born in Nigeria to Iraqi parents. He studied and worked in Lebanon, Iraq, the United States, Sudan, and Jordan before moving to Egypt in 1993. He taught photography at various institutions, including the German University in Cairo. His photographs have been exhibited internationally.

Photography - A Queer History examines how photography has been used by artists to capture, create and expand the category 'Queer'. It bookmarks different thematic concerns central to queer photography, forging unexpected connections to showcase the diverse ways the medium has been used to fashion queer identities and communities.How has photography advanced fights against LGBTQ+ discrimination? How have artists used photography to develop a queer aesthetic? How has the production and circulation of photography served to satisfy the queer desire for images, and created transnational solidarities?Photography - A Queer History includes the work of 84 artists. It spans different historical and national contexts, and through a mix of thematic essays and artist-centred texts brings young photographers into conversation with canonical images.

Détournement (literally, diversion or hijacking), is the act of turning the expressions, both visual and literary, of the capitalist system and its mediatized military culture against itself. In Glen Rubsamen's War Series this détournement is directed against an increasingly intrusive and instrumentalizing technocratic culture whose function is the manufacture of consent through the manipulation of symbols. In his works Rubsamen uses the visual language and rhetoric of military recruitment culture to critique that paradigm, encouraging idiosyncratic, unintended interpretations. Rubsamen's paintings warn us to beware of an invasive military media by exposing the subtle methods of its domination. His art raises our guard as we slide toward a world where young consumers will identify more with the media products they devour than with any notion of personal morality or socio-political ethics.

What does it mean when an item within a museum talks back? How are the concepts of the trained gaze, the panopticon, and the sacred feminine connected? Artist and writer Shanta Lee Gander probes these questions and more in Dark Goddess: An Exploration of the Sacred Feminine.

A new, revolutionary history of photography from a stellar team of writers and thinkers that challenges all existing narratives by focusing on the complex collaborations between photographer and subject. Led by five of the great thinkers and practitioners in photography, and including texts by over 100 writers, critics and academics, this groundbreaking publication presents a potential history of photography explored through the lens of collaboration, challenging the dominant narratives around photographic history and authorship. With more than 1,000 photographs, it breaks apart photography's 'single creator' tradition by bringing to light tangible traces of collaboration - the various relationships, exchanges and interactions that occur between all participants in the making of any photograph. This collaboration takes different forms, including coercion and cooperation, friendship and exploitation, and expresses shared interests as well as competition, rivalry or antagonistic partnership. The conditions of collaboration are explored through 100 photography 'projects', divided into eight thematic chapters including 'The Photographed Subject', 'The Author' and 'Potentializing Violence'. The result of years of research, Collaboration addresses key issues of gender, race and societal hierarchies and divisions and their role in forging identity and conformity. The photographs from each project are presented non-hierarchically alongside quotes, testimonies, and short texts by guest contributors. These networks of texts and images offer perspectives on a vast array of photographic themes, from Araki's portraits of women to archival files from the Spanish Civil War. Each chapter is introduced by the editors, who provide the keys to understanding and decoding the complex politics of seeing.

From one of the leading image makers of today, Erik Madigan Heck: The Tapestry presents more than 180 photographs in a richly colourful, experiential and tactile new monograph that spans photography and painting. Both an exploration of colour and form and a dazzling artistic statement, Erik Madigan Heck: The Tapestry is a retrospective of a kind ¿ one that originated during a time of great professional and personal uncertainty for the artist. Relentlessly creative, Madigan Heck used the enforced pause in his life, with the global pandemic as the backdrop, as a contemplative space to revisit a decade's worth of his work as a photographer and artist. This collection serves as a meditative exploration of Heck's unique fusion of photography and painting, characterized by a bold embrace of natural light, resulting in a stunning array of unapologetically beautiful and vividly colorful images. The flowing, lyrical design of this book, created in collaboration with leading design studio APFEL, weaves a visual narrative that traces not only the evolution of Madigan Heck's craft but also the threaded interconnections between photography, fashion and the broader spectrum of visual art. With contemplative texts by the author and an interview by Rosalind Jana, this book, presented as a covetable, collectible and immersive book object, will appeal to all with an appreciation of light, colour and form in art and photography.

An accessible and popular introduction to African photography and cinema from the mid-20th century to the present day. The African Gaze is a comprehensive exploration of postcolonial and contemporary photography and cinema from Africa. Drawing from archival imagery and documents, interviews with the photographers and filmmakers (in some cases family members/close associates if the artist is deceased), and contributions from writers, scholars and curators, it maps a complete introduction to African moving and still imagery. This is a hugely important and timely publication ¿ engagement with Black and African histories is stronger than ever before (and long overdue). The major names of African photography, such as Malick Sidibé, Sanlé Sory and Seydou Keïta, have become highly collectible in the art market, while African cinema, pioneered by Ousmane Sembene in 1960s Senegal, is now recognized for its creative innovation and storytelling. For anyone drawn to African photography and film, this book will provide an exciting and accessible overview.

"Award-winning photographer Devin Allen juxtaposes his remarkable photos of today's Black Lives Matter protests alongside his inspiration, Black activist Gordon Parks' photos of the Civil Rights Movement and writing from influential authors and poets to create a vision of the past and future of Black activism and leadership in America. Devin Allen has devoted much of the past five years to documenting the generationally-defining protests of the Black Lives Matter movement, from its early days in Ferguson up to the current moment. In NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE, Allen juxtaposes his powerful and incredibly moving photos of today's protests alongside photos of the Civil Rights movement that were documented by his inspiration, the renowned Gordon Parks, in order to present a stunningly comprehensive visual of Black activism and leadership in America over the past six decades. Together with these poignant, timeless portraits, Allen will also include essays and poems from today's most influential writers and activists--including Clint Smith, Jacqueline Woodson, D. Watkins, Deray McKesson, Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, and Kondwani Fidel, among others--that respond to the words of their predecessors, such as Martin Luther King, Jr., Frederick Douglass, Malcolm X, Rosa Parks, and John Lewis. Side by side, these photos and essays show where the movements of yesterday and today meet and where they differ, how modern activists continue to build on and expand the ideas set forth by earlier leaders, and create a stern missive about the moral responsibility of Americans to break unjust laws and take direct action. At once deeply intimate and profoundly collective, NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE is a creative lens through which to reflect on both our history and the current moment, and a visual reminder of the tough, but necessary, road that lies ahead"--

Praised as "illuminated meditations," this inspired collaboration of Phaedra Greenwood's photographic study of geometry in water complemented by the gentle Zen poetry of Shawn Nevins makes the point, over and over, that existence is sacred in all its myriad forms. "The authors indeed achieve a sense of sacred in these meandering hymns to the physics of water, either fluid or frozen, and meant to be read out loud -- 'delicate incessant transience.'" Taos News. Hydroglyphics was a 2022 Eric Hoffer Book Award Finalist.

Presents the latest photo series from Belgian photographer Servaas Van BelleFor this unique book, photographer Servaas Van Belle scouted every corner of Belgium to find just the right kind of shed, always photographing them in the same perfect lighting conditions. And for Van Belle 'perfect' means in a haze of fog. Livestock shelters in meadows and fields are so common in the Belgian landscape and culture that nobody ever pays them any attention. Nonetheless, the countryside offers quite a range of architectural gems. These sheds and barns are the product of man and nature, quietly radiating a poignant if decaying beauty. They come in many shapes and sizes, are constructed from motley materials (often recycled) and exhibit a varied color palette. Clearly showing the ravages of time, they tell wordless stories that Servaas Van Belle can capture like no other. Features an introduction by Stephan Vanfleteren. Text in English and Dutch.
