Michael Von Graffenried: Bierfest
All year long, the people of Munich look forward to the Oktoberfest. When the time has come, the citys inhabitants, joined by tourists from all over the world, put on their Lederhosen and Dirndl dresses and gather on the Wiesn. With seven million litres of beer flowing at record speed, social boundaries are soon overstepped. The grass by the tents is used as urinals and becomes strewn with intoxicated corpses, while the police and medical teams try to keep up with sinking inhibition thresholds. Michael von Graffenried shines a light on the decadent side of what is probably the most famous folk festival in the world. His images make no difference between the celebrated folklore in the tents and the mass delirium.
Naked in Paradise
The original new age nudist movement in Switzerland.
Inside Algeria
Photographs by Michael von Graffenried Introduction by Mary-Jane Deeb Foreword by Robert Delpire Michael von Graffenried, award-winning Swiss photographer, covertly photographed civil strife in Algeria from the early 1990s through 1998. In a land where Islamic terrorists have executed over sixty journalists and photographers in the last seven years, Graffenried's very survival is remarkable. His extraordinary accomplishment, however, is these photographs, which form a composite of Algeria that is more whole than the nation itself, fractured by one segment of the population in favor of democracy and another in favor of an Islamic state.
Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
Colour Works
The 1980s and 90s was a golden period for editorial photography. They were the Thatcher years - a period of time when a gilded and confident yuppie generation spent freely with a new hedonistic, 'never had it so cool' loads of money mentality.
Now that You are Mine
Fotografier fra 1997-1998 af prostituerede i kvarteret omkring Skelbækgade i København

Sidewalk
This exceptonally strong and dynamic series of street photographs of New York is the winner of the 1999 European Publishers Award for Photography. As we follow Mermelstein through the city we are staggered by its drama and mystery. We confront characters who seem hyper-real - crazed, paranoid or simply pressured - and we come across incidents which seem totally surreal. Exhilarating and memorable, immensely funny yet deeply disturbing, this is a major work by an established talent. Includes 58 full-colour plates.
