Format: 23,5 x 30 cm , 224 Seiten Sprache: Englisch Die einzige Cerruti-Monografie auf dem Markt Fashion-Ikone, Hollywood-Designer, Ausstatter von Ferrari und Lehrer von Armani Für Fashion- und Design-Aficionados, Celebrity-Fans "Mode ist Gleichgewicht, mit einem Schuss Theater", soll Nino Cerruti gesagt haben, wobei die Frage erlaubt sei, ob es nicht doch manchmal umgekehrt war - zumindest auf dem Laufsteg wusste der Meister zu elektrisieren. Dabei begann seine Karriere in den 1950ern ganz klassisch: In jungen Jahren übernahm er das Erbe seines Vaters und erfand erstmal solide Herrenmode von der Stange, veredelt mit italienischer Eleganz. Bald wandte er sich der Frauenmode zu, und war auch dort mit seinem Fokus auf Hosen ein Vorreiter. Viele Jahrzehnte blieb er einer der führenden Köpfe der Modewelt, bis er im Januar 2022 verstarb. Die einzigartige Monografie Nino Cerruti - Fashion Icon setzt dem legendären Designer ein Denkmal. Mit einer Vielzahl von Fashionfotos und Bildern, die ihn in seinem privaten Umfeld zeigen, werden Leben und Werk des Grandseigneurs aufgeblättert.
From award-winning musician and composer Warren Ellis comes the unexpected and inspiring story of a piece of chewing gum. Featuring an introduction from Nick Cave. On Thursday 1 July, 1999, Dr Nina Simone gave a rare performance as part of Nick Cave's Meltdown Festival. After the show, in a state of awe, Warren Ellis crept onto the stage, took Dr Simone's piece of chewed gum from the piano, wrapped it in her stage towel and put it in a Tower Records bag. The gum remained with him for twenty years; a sacred totem, his creative muse, growing in significance with every passing year. >Nina Simone's Gum is about how something so small can form beautiful connections between people. It is a story about the meaning we place on things, on experiences, and how they become imbued with spirituality. It is a celebration of artistic process, friendship, understanding and love.
Dopo aver fatto una crociera sul Mar Baltico ed avere fatto oltre 600 foto nei posti fantastici che ho avuto occasione di vedere, ho ritenuto interessante fare una sintesi in questa raccolta. L'ho fatta prima di tutto per me, ma anche per chi fosse interessato a levarsi una propria curiosità a riguardo!
Autokopfkino garantiert!Bei Walter Pangerls Fotoarbeiten handelt es sich nicht einfach nur um Auto Porträts. Er arrangiert seine etwa 10 Zentimeter großen Modellautos aus der Zeit des "Wirtschaftswunders" vor historischen Aufnahmen. Abgelichtet werden die Fahrzeuge auf eine Art, wie ihre Originale nie abgebildet wurden. Und so entstand etwas völlig Neues: Standbilder aus nie gedrehten Filmen - eine scheinbare Wirklichkeit, die dem Mythos Auto Tribut zollt.In liebevoller Detailarbeit gestaltete Walter Pangerl Inszenierungen, die im großen Maßstab nie zu erreichen gewesen wären. Das Auto ist in diesen Szenen nicht nur technischer Gegenstand, sondern steht als Träger von Sehnsüchten und Fantasien im Einklang oder in Zwiesprache mit seiner Umwelt. Da gliedern sich Fahrzeuge fahrerlos in den Verkehr ein, biegen in Arkaden ein und kommen an den schier unmöglichsten Stellen zu stehen. Da am Ende jeder Mensch nur sieht, was er weiß, werden es je nach Betrachter*in andere Geschichten sein, die im Kopfkino entstehen. Anschnallen - und Film ab!- Inszenierungen von Modellautos aus der Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts vor historischen Fotografien- Stillleben mit Autos- Infos zu Modell, Baujahr, Marke und Maßstab der Modelle- Gastbeiträge aus dem Kulturjournalismus: Andrea Traxler, Hermann Schlösser, Walter Titz
Stan Douglas has long explored critical sociocultural and political change. His exhibition for the 59th Biennale di Venezia, 2011 ¿ 1848, reflects upon the language of protest, revolution and the uprisings witnessed across the globe in 2011. Douglas' four large-scale hybrid documentary photographs re-stage protests in Tunis, London, New York and Vancouver, and his two-channel HD video, ISDN, presents Grime and Mahraganat rappers exchanging subversive lyrics between studios in London and Cairo. The illustrated catalogue features some 100 full-colour detailed images that capture behind-the-scenes views of Douglas' elaborate productions. Essays by international cultural thinkers examine the artist's work in relation to music, political economy, contemporary media theory and the rise of Grime and Mahraganat.
Kinky Taboo Girls is the unbridled erotic fantasy of Chas Ray Krider. This photo book is self-confident, liberating and abysmally deep at the same time. The pure seduction of flesh, artistically rendered. A spell of obscene photography that no collection should be without. Exceptionally good.
A British photographer's visual mythology of Los Angeles' pasts and futuresFor British photographer Nick Meek, growing up in the North of England and raised on Hollywood movies and TV shows, the American West always seemed a terrain full of golden prospect and possibility. In this luscious photographic portrait, the country's highways, motels, national parks, movie theaters, road signs, airports, waterfalls and beaches appear at once romantic and eerie, optimistic and ironic, hazy and hyperreal, soaked in emotion and overtly artificial.Here, in washed-out, almost painterly Kodachrome oranges, yellows and pale blues, Meek constructs a Hollywood-style nostalgia, subtly exaggerating the photographic style and iconography that typically accompany such portrayals of the West, while nonetheless ingeniously accessing their emotional pull.The process of remembering entails a certain amount of forgetting. In these photos, Meek mines this gap, creating space for scenes and meanings that might never have really been there. This is Meek's debut monograph, compiling a selection from his acclaimed series, created between 2002 and 2017.Nick Meek (born 1969) has worked for the New York Times, the New Yorker, GQ, Esquire and others. His photographs were recently on view at Momentum Fine Art in Miami and the DeSoto Gallery in Los Angeles. Meek was born in England and divides his time between London and Chamonix, France.

Coltrane further explores John's musical legacy with an introduction by his son and fellow musician Ravi Coltrane along with stories from other musicians, artists, and writers who have been moved by his work.Coltrane is a visual celebration of one of the all-time great musicians, and a must-have for fans of John Coltrane, jazz, and music photography.
Highly topical as we dive fully into an era of fake news, political manipulation, and engineered confusion.Jason Knoxvold, the essay writer and editorial consultant, is a highly regarded, award-winning independent publisher, and his association with this project will raise its profile.This type of highly conceptual, "big brother" technology-focused project is very cutting edge and will likely do very well in a European market.
Qu'est-ce qu'une photographe doit utiliser pour communiquer avec l'objet photographié? Quel moyen utilise-t-elle pour interpréter l'objet de sa photographie? La lumière est le parfait compagnon et le serviteur de la photographe. S'il y a plus de lumière qui apparaît du côté droit, cela peut rendre la photo plus vivante, de ce fait, la photographe se déplace vers la gauche et appuie sur le déclencheur. Ainsi, elle enregistre le caractère mystérieux de l'objet photographique et révéle un moment qui est à présent entré dans la légende. Ma passion pour la photographie vient peut-être de ma curiosité pour tout ce qui est mystérieux.Comment la lumière du soleil agit sur la terre, fine et lisse, atrocement, qui tombe sans la moindre réserve. Je suis profondément émue parce qu'il y a une certaine émotion tactile quand l'on prend une photo. Je réserve un peu de temps. La photographe. ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ What does the photographer use to communicate with the object being photographed? How does the photographer interpret the object? Light was always the photographer's best companion and servant. More light shining in from the right will give the view more life, so I shift my standing point to the left, then press down on the shutter to record the enigma of the photographed object and disclose that moment of astronomical legend. Or my curiosity towards the boundary lines of mystery. The sunlight that falls upon the earth exquisitely, cruelly, deeply affecting. To photograph with sensation, to preserve the moment at its current state, that is the photographer.

"The State of Ata" addresses the social themes that define contemporary Turkey. Specifically examining the imagery of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the country's revolutionary leader after World War I, the volume interweaves photographs, interviews, artists' interventions and archival imagery. The result is a complex visual exploration of the uses of Ataturk's imagery and the way in which it functions in contemporary Turkish society as a perceived link to Western culture, and as a symbol in opposition to the rise of the Islamist political movement. Mike Mandel and Chantal Zakari conceived "The State of Ata" as a collection of books within a book-a photograph album, a volume of military portraits, a diary-and the result is a unique project that will appeal not only to those fascinated by Turkish culture, but also to anyone interested in the popular representations of cult historical figures.
For more than forty years Linley Sambourne was a cartoonist for the British mangazine Punch. When he died in 1910, a host of obituaries paid tribute to his contribution to late Victorian and Edwardian political satire. His home is now a museum.

Detailed chapters include: The Era of the Pioneers - The Era of Financial Adventurers - The Era of the Motor Tricycle - The Era of the Motor Bicycle.Many of the earliest motoring books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive.

Jeffrey Blackman follows his successful Covered Bridges of New England with this companion volume that highlights the iconic barns of the same region. Rather than being postcard-perfect, these photos depict the real life of New England and its farming community with the same keen eye that informed Blackman's photos of abandoned gas pumps and pickup trucks in Out of Gas.New England barns are icons; unlike barns of other regions, they possess a unique character and a special vernacular. Often hewn from trees cleared when the farms were first established, these barns were built to reflect and accommodate the needs of each different farm. Working farms in the sometimes harsh, always beautiful New England countryside now seem to be a vanishing species, and so the New England barn is also vanishing.If you remember what it was like to take a road trip as a child, how exciting it was to turn a corner and suddenly spy a beautiful red barn in a lush green pasture, you will appreciate this collection. It's a bit of New England's best to enjoy anytime, no matter where you are.
