Transient
Photographer Linke presents 200 of his color photographs taken all over the world and thematically illustrating globalization. The photographs individually vary widely in terms of subject matter and even composition, including enigmatic pictures of smoke rising from the "Ground Zero" of September 11th, the smog rising over Mexico City, an aerial view of Brazilian rainforest, the fence designed to coral anti-capitalist protestors in Montreal during the FTAA conference, street scenes of Saddam Hussein's birthday parade shortly before Iraq's invasion by the U.S., and Russian astronauts training in a swimming pool. A certain stylistic unity seems to emerge through the accumulation of mostly wide-angle shots. A brief critical essay and an interview with the author is appended to the end of the work. Distributed by Rizzoli through St. Martin's Press. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).

The Appearance of That Which Cannot Be Seen
For over 20 years Berlin-based photographer and filmmaker Armin Linke (b. 1966) has been photographing the effects of globalization, the transformation of infrastructures and the networking of post-industrial society via digital information and communication technologies. Following his recent exhibition in Milan, this substantial publication features images selected by a variety of theorists and scientists chosen by Linke. The images selected by Israeli theorist, curator and filmmaker Ariella Azoulay, French sociologist and philosopher Bruno Latour, Austrian artist/curator/media theorist Peter Weibel, American architectural theorist Mark Wigley, and British geologist Jan Zalasiewicz open up Linkes work to a variety of new readings. Linkes photographs depict the modern world as a massive profusion of data, where the material infrastructures, consisting of computer centers, data highways and server rooms, are largely invisible. A research affiliate at the MIT Visual Arts Program, Linke has exhibited extensively worldwide including the Storefront, NY, and KW Berlin.
Armin Linke: The Body of the State
Commissioned by the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities at the end of 2006, Italian photographer Armin Linke proposed a photographic mapping of all the institutions housed in various historical buildings in Rome. His research attempted to carry out both a documentation of and an inquiry into the characteristics of public institutions. The result is a portrait of the Italian State through the understanding of the architecture in which functions and ceremonies are performed daily. Including excerpts from Giorgio Agamben's recent book Il Regno e la Gloria, the publication invites a critical reading of the representation of power, while displaying very rarely seen interiors and details of the government's settings in an objective style typical of Linke's images. This book is published with the support of MAXXI, Roma. English and Italian text.
Socialist Architecture
Socialist Architecture: The Vanishing Act is a collaborative project between photographer Armin Linke and architect Srdjan Jovanovic Weiss.Linke and Weiss have worked together since 2009 to visit and document selected examples of ex-Yugoslav Socialist architecture in order to document the state that they are in today. The Socialist Federation of Yugoslavia vanished during the early 1990s and the former Socialist states were 'Balkanized' into a number of emerging democracies.Each of these new states inherited monuments, buildings, landscapes, and infrastructure, which were constructed specifically for the former Socialist context and needs. After Yugoslavia vanished, most of the inherited arc...
Armin Linke, Corrado Calvo: Paparazzi
Man kennt diese Fotos aus Illustrierten: Schnappschu¿sse von schnellen Booten, dunklen Sonnenbrillen und Tändeleien. Wer sich an den Stränden Sardiniens zeigt, weiß um diejenigen, die hinter ihren Kameras lauern. Prominente und Paparazzi scheinen hier symbiotisch miteinander verwachsen; gemeinsam produzieren sie "heimliche Bilder".vArmin Linke veröffentlicht gemeinsam mit Corrado Calvo - einem der bekanntesten Paparazzi - aus einem Konvolutvvon 80.000 Aufnahmen der letzten zehn Jahre eine Auswahl von Sequenzen. In den gezeigten Bildfolgen entstehtveine andere Logik als im veröffentlichten Medienbild: Inszenierungen werden durchschaubar. Das, was an Situationenvaus dem Illustriertenfoto herausgeku¿rzt ist, tritt erst im Ablauf der Bilder deutlich zum Vorschein. Die Fotos werdenvso auf unerwartete Weise zu einem gesellschaftlichen Dokument.
Prospecting Ocean
Investigating the entanglement of industry, politics, culture, and economics at the frontier of ocean excavations through an innovative union of art and science. The oceans are crucial to the planet's well-being. They help regulate the global carbon cycle, support the resilience of ecosystems, and provide livelihoods for communities. The oceans as guardians of planetary health are threatened by many forces, including growing extractivist practices. Through the innovative lens of artistic research, Prospecting Ocean investigates the entanglement of industry, politics, culture, and economics at the frontier of ocean excavation. The result is a richly illustrated study that unites science and a...
Hans Hollein
This publication presents photographic works by Aglaia Konrad and Armin Linke based on pioneering Hollein buildings of the past five decades. These are key projects by the architect, including the Museum Abteiberg in Mönchengladbach, the MMK Museum für Moderne Kunst in Frankfurt/Main, the Museum of Glass and Ceramics in Tehran, and Vulcania, a volcano museum in Saint-Ours-les-Roches, as well as the Media Lines orientation and communication system designed for the Munich Olympics and well-known Hollein projects in downtown Vienna.
Socialist Architecture
Socialist Architecture ? The Reappearing Act' is a cooperation between the architect Srdjan Jovanovic Weiss and the photographer Armin Linke. Since 2009, Jovanovic Weiss and Linke are documenting the current state of selected places of socialistic architecture in the former Yugoslavia. After the disappearing of Yugoslavia, the inherited architecture often remained empty, in a kind of limbo between reutilisation and modern archaeological ruin. This documentation considered this indecisiveness in the five emerging democracies and investigates the relative impact on the spatial perception and the fate of the former ideological architecture of Yugoslavia.
