Fred Herzog
Fred Herzog's bold use of colour in the 1950s and 60s set him apart at a time when the only art photography taken seriously was in black and white. His early use of color make him a forerunner of "New Colour" photographers such as Stephen Shore and William Eggleston, who received widespread acclaim in the 1970s. Herzog images were all taken on Kodachrome, a slide film with a sharpness and tonal range that, until recently, could not be reproduced in prints, and his choice of medium limited his exhibition opportunities. However, recent advances in digital technology have made high-quality prints of his work possible, and in the past few years his substantial and influential body of work has been available to a wider audience. Fred Herzog: Photographs showcases this innovative artist's impressive oeuvre in a beautifully crafted volume of early color and urban street photography. Providing authoritative texts are four titans of the art community: Jeff Wall anchors Herzog's place in the history of photography, Claudia Gochmann sets his work in an international context and Sarah Milroy and Douglas Coupland provide additional commentary.

Visual Participatory Arts Based Research in the City
Visual Participatory Arts Based Research in the Cities maps ontological, aesthetic and ethic differences between humanist and posthumanist arts-based research, while providing insight on methodological orientations to develop arts-based research with frameworks based on process-philosophies. It is the first book on arts-based research which focuses on the city, adopting a posthumanist approach to the assembled nature of urban environments, where agency is distributed across infrastructures, technologies, spaces, things, and bodies. Chapters one to seven feature a series of studies, situated in different cities in Europe and the Americas, which outline experiences of movement, inhabitancy, in...
Seebadsaison
Seebäderforschung als eigenständiges wissenschaftliches Forschungsfeld gibt es erst seit den 1990er Jahren. Mit "Seebadsaison" wird ein Werk vorgelegt, das den Leser die Besonderheiten und Geheimnisse des Kulturraums Seebad - ausgehend von den Umbrüchen in den Seebädern der DDR-Ostseeküste ab den 1990er Jahren - entdecken lässt. Der breit gefasste historische Rahmen des Buchs vermittelt - über fünf politische Formationen der deutschen Historie hinweg - ein umfangreiches Bild des Heil- und Kurbadens und der europäischen Körperreinigungsriten und -sitten, auch vor dem Hintergrund von Technik- und Ideengeschichte.
Die Kamera als Waffe
In den vergangenen Jahren sind Quellenwert und Wirkung von Bildern des Nationalsozialismus immer wieder diskutiert worden. Dabei wurde bewusst, wie die Selbstdarstellung der Nationalsozialisten bis heute unsere visuelle Erinnerung an das "Dritte Reich" und den Zweiten Weltkrieg prägt. Während des Krieges waren eigens militärisch geschulte Berichterstatter in "Propagandakompanien" tätig. Ihre Fotos und Filmaufnahmen, die in Wochenschauen und Kompilationsfilmen breite Rezeption erfuhren, galten Reichsfilmintendant Fritz Hippler als wirksamste "geistige Waffe im Krieg". Ein Symposium der Deutschen Kinemathek brachte etablierte und jüngere Wissenschaftler zusammen, um der Forschung zu diese...
