Simple Beauty
Bert Verwelius' new book shows natural feminine beauty in all of its facets, whether nude or clothed, in colour or in black and white. Thanks to many workshops with famous and lesser-known photographers all over the world, Verwelius has continued to develop his style over the last 10 years, becoming a master at using a variety of light sources in his work. In his photoshoots, Verwelius handles every detail himself: planning, casting the models, set decoration, and providing perfect lighting. Afterwards, he develops the photos and processes them himself--skills he also learned from renowned photographers. His goal is to be one of the best photographic artists in the world. 'Simple Beauty' is ...

Mediating Post-Socialist Femininities
Twenty-five years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, this collection of essays examines the ways in which popular media re-construct ideas and ideals of femininity in the post-socialist cultural space. The authors explore a comprehensive range of questions including: How have post-socialist women engaged with media as media producers and consumers, as well as objects of media representation? What are the consequences of the commodification of femininity in the post-socialist context? How does the female body serve as a battleground for the enactment and renegotiation of gendered identities and ideologies? How can we understand and theorize post-socialist women’s activist movements? In seeking answers to such questions, this volume highlights the need to reconsider feminism as a political and theoretical project with many faces. It bridges research on the mediation of post-socialist femininities with broader concerns about the transnational trajectories of feminism today. This book was originally published as a special issue of Feminist Media Studies.

Goldberg / druk 1
Bert Natter schetst in zijn derde roman een ingenieus en levendig beeld van een van de geheimzinnigste personages uit de muziekgeschiedenis: Johann Gottlieb Goldberg. Volgens de overlevering zou Goldberg het wonderkind zijn voor wie Johann Sebastian Bach zijn beroemde Goldberg Variaties heeft geschreven, maar in de geschiedenisboeken ontbreekt van hem ieder spoor. In zijn roman scheert Bert Natter langs de smalle grens van geschiedschrijving en verbeelding. Hij neemt de lezer mee op reis door de straten van het achttiende-eeuwse Dresden, op dat moment het centrum van Europa op het gebied van kunst en cultuur, en slaagt er met verve in om de muzikale schim genaamd Goldberg tot leven te wekken.
Niagara
Evolving from a series of road trips along the Mississippi River, Alec Soth's "Sleeping by the Mississippi captures America's iconic yet oft-neglected "third coast." Soth's richly descriptive, large-format color photographs present an eclectic mix of individuals, landscapes, and interiors. Sensuous in detail and raw in subject, "Sleeping by the Mississippi elicits a consistent mood of loneliness, longing, and reverie." In the book's 46 ruthlessly edited pictures, "writes Anne Wilkes Tucker, "Soth alludes to illness, procreation, race, crime learning art, music, death, religion, redemption, politics, and cheap sex." Like Robert Frank's classic "The Americans, Sleeping by the Mississippi merges a documentary style with a poetic sensibility. The Mississippi is less the subject of the book than its organizing structure. Not bound by a rigid concept or ideology, the series is created out of a quintessentially American spirit of wanderlust.
Tim Walker: Story Teller
Tim Walker is one of the most visually exciting photographers of our time. This book showcases many of his most dazzling images his daydreams turned into photographs, dating from around the last seven years of his career. Some of the biggest names in fashion and contemporary culture are here: Alber Elbaz sporting a pair of rabbit ears; Agyness Deyn in the sand dunes of Namibia; Alexander McQueen and a memento mori of skull and cigarettes; Helena Bonham Carter poised with Ray-Bans and a Diet Coke; Stella Tennant in a pink cloud among the rhododendrons of an English country garden The singer and musician Kate Bush contributes a foreword and Walker himself an afterword, as well as illuminating his pictures throughout with personal observations. This exceptional and beautifully designed overview of a career caught in mid-flow reveals just how much one mans singular vision has influenced contemporary tastes in fashion, beauty, glamour and portraiture.
