Katharina Gaenssler - Edition Merzbau

Katharina Gaenssler
Edition Merzbau
published by the Friends of the Sprengel Museum Hannover e.V.
Edition 20+4, 2009/2010
Carbon Print, 55 x 40 cm
280.00 €

"The interaction of art and everyday life takes us to the space where this work will be on view, in Schwitters' Merzbau. The reconstruction of this room within the Sprengel Museum Hannover has also captured Katharina Gaenssler's attention and is dealt with in the framework of her retrospective. Gaenssler plays with the essence of this unique space by contrasting fragments and mass, the ephemeral and that which is fixed, reality and fantasy: she deconstructed the Merzbau, using her camera to follow how a gamut of fragments can be perceived as a whole, and, through qualities unique to a book as a medium, re-ordered the reconstruction of the space."

"Owner of This World is a book of photographs made by Shawn Records during the four months that his son, Max Records, spent working as an actor on the set of Where the Wild Things Are, Spike Jonze's film adaptation of the Maurice Sendak classic. Max was nine-years old at the time, and neither he nor his family had been involved in the film industry before. Records, the elder, is convinced that the book will disappoint anyone looking for insight into the film or the filmmakers and offers it as a manifestation of his own anxieties; a collection of fears and reassurances, upon letting his son out into a world that is beyond his control.."

Short erotic stories of sexual encounters recounted from one girl's point of view in reverse chronological order, from her latest to her first partner. The stories punctuate pages of portrait photography, of men and women alike: no girl in particular is the author, and any of the men photographed could be one of the men of the encounters... Sex becomes just another portrait, anyone's encounter, and is brought down into the fabric of everyday life.

Offset printing
Edition: 600
Price 12€

"Following the death, in July 2006, of Syd Barrett, guitarist, singer and founding member of the band Pink Floyd, and a series of reports about him in the media, Benoît Grimalt, like many other people, got to learn more about this musician and his music than the couple of his group’s hit songs that had been profusely aired for 40 years. As he grew curious about this character, and under the charm of his music, he decided to go to Cambridge, where Syd Barrett had quite early withdrawn from the busy world, at the age of 29. Reading Do you know Syd Barrett? , we will learn nothing more about the musician than what we already know. Benoît Grimalt’s photographs are not meant to investigate further into Barrett’s life and work, but they draw a romantic vision of Cambridge and of England, in tribute to the artist."

"For this project, Martin Becka has captured the city of Dubai using techniques that date back to the very beginnings of photography. By staging a collision between the historical and the present time, Becka creates a deliberate anachronism and therewith takes us far from the usual expectations we harbour towards Dubai. In Becka's earthly warm and exquisitely detailed salted paper prints a monument has been erected for the future generations of Dubai."

A note from your friendly booklisters

It's been a great first two weeks for The Independent Photo Book, with already over fifty publications listed and more coming up. Although we haven't got hard figures on all publications, we know that sales do happen (it would be nice to receive feedback from those of you listed here). So this is a good thing we got going here.

However, there is always a dark side to the moon, in this case being the inordinate amount of time Joerg and I have been spending on communicating with submitters, trying to collect all the relevant data and files. This in spite of the fact that if you follow the guidelines (looking at the published posts will give you an idea what information we need), it ought to be a breeze for us to post your book. So this is not a good thing if you all want us to be able to continue.

At a future stage, there might be submission procedure via a form you can either fill out online or download, but for the time being we have to economize what little time we have. In other words, if a submission is incomplete or does not meet the requirements, we will send you *one* mail informing you this is the case. It is then up to the submitter to look again at the guidelines and see how to complement the information.

Also, please do not submit more than one book (or zine) at a time, so that everybody gets the chance to submit their work. If you have more than one book/zine to promote, you may send them in installments, one per week. Note that we will not be listing every single issue of a zine that is published regularly (unless it comes out once or twice a year).

We do not say this to put anyone off, but it would be nice if you can think along with us. After all, this is not a commercial venue and we are here to promote your work on a purely voluntary basis. Don't abuse that. Take your time to make it worth ours.

"Now We Are 30 is a series of Polaroid images charting one year in the life of Stuart Woodman: a year of change; of breakup; of new beginnings and strange places. But also, like any other year, of the mundane and minute. Using the un-editable immediacy of a Polaroid, Woodman tracks the big and little things of his life, adhering to a strict policy of 'one day, one image': days of moving cities, of failing relationships, of new beginnings. This book – poignant, moving, reflective, grainily beautiful – is the result."

Essay by Christophe van Gerrewey
Published by Green Paper Press
ISBN: 978-9078702078

Offset, saddle stich bound, full color + overprint on Biotop, cover with flaps

“In door-to-door conversations Beierle + Keijser asked residents of the Heroes of the Sea District where they felt that something dramatic, tragic or memorable had taken place. This question is the significant core of their artistic project; one might wonder if a more legitimate question exists concerning the contemporary public domain. Twenty hand­written texts accompanying the photographs documenting the locations indicated by the residents, describe, a little brazen, often typically Dutch, but always amusing and never wholly unambiguous, the sensational, or at any rate exceptional events that, nonetheless, attempt to imbue these places with meaning. This process doesn’t differ that much from the way the news, the papers or politics attach significance to something — but it is the style and the principles of art that make us view these things differently." - Christophe van Gerrewey
