The Significance Of The Photographic Image In A Filmic Context. Paulius Petraitis. TLTRPreß.

Most recent debates about the impact of digitalization on photography either advocate a rupture between analog and digital, or deny that there are any differences at all. The present project, however, wants to emphasize the continuity of several cultural aspects without denying the differences between the two ways of image-making. Paulius Petraitis’ text follows a trajetory around a less focused relation in film and photography and adds both to the so-called “classic” understanding of photographic images, as well as rejecting any rupture in the current cultural perception of photography.

Glacial Jubilé. Estelle Hanania. Shelter Press.

Customs and traditions: The originality of Estelle Hanania’s photographic work appears in the fact that it focuses on the European vernacular rites in a very unique way. Unlike the anthropologist or pure documentarist, she doesn’t try neither to understand nor to decode the mystery of those rites, letting them pass trough her camera.

The first monograph dedicated to the work of Estelle Hanania, Glacial Jubilé features six sets of photographs taken in Switzerland, Bulgaria, the Basque Country, Italy and Austria between 2006 and 2011.

Sometimes I cannot smile, Piergiorgio Casotti.

Part of Casotti’s “Arctic Spleen project”, Sometimes I Cannot Smile is documentation on the problem of teen suicide in East Greenland. The book is a personal, intimate journey inside the Greenlandic juvenile world where nature, violence, boredom and a strong cultural legacy have been claiming for decades the highest and saddest “toll”. That of hundreds of young lives.

Ma Almeno Ci Sei Tu Amore Mio – But At Least You Are Here My Love. Nico Baumgarten.

Scampia is a neighborhood in the outskirts of Naples and is mainly known as a stronghold of the Camorra mafia. Most stories about Scampia deal with gangsters or junkies.
In “ma almeno ci sei tu amore mio” (but at least you are here my love) I show the everyday life of those, who don’t have anything to do with all this. It’s a tough reality for them: Finding work is an almost impossible task, many of the flats are contaminated with asbestos and it’s hard to convince the own children of the fact that it’s not cool to work for the mafia.
In such a rough environment havens – even only mental ones – have a special significance. Religion and music play an important role, but love seems to be more meaningful than anything else. At least this is what the writings on the walls of this neighborhood testify, and which are the leitmotiv of this book.

Cross Over – Fotografie der Wissenschaft + Wissenschaft der Fotografie. Christin Müller (Ed.). Spector Books.

Mit Texten von / with texts by Michel Frizot und Christoph Hoffmann und Kelley Wilder.

Wissenschaftliche Bilder faszinieren, weil sie Dinge und Vorgänge zeigen, die dem menschlichen Auge verborgen bleiben: Immer tiefer kann man in Mikro- und Makrokosmos eintauchen und diese in Bildern fixieren. Dient die Fotografie in der Wissenschaft daher hauptsächlich als Sehhilfe der Forschenden oder geht ihre Rolle weit darüber hinaus? Seit der Erfindung der Fotografie in den 1830er Jahren resultieren aus der wissenschaftlichen Praxis stetig neue Ansprüche an Visualisierungen und damit auch eine unablässige Ausweitung der Möglichkeiten des Mediums. Dadurch entstehen Bilder mit völlig anderen Prämissen als in der Dokumentar-, Werbe- oder Kunstfotografie. Was aber macht das delikate Verhältnis zwischen Fotografie und Wissenschaft aus? Was für Bilder entstehen dabei und wie lassen sich diese Aufnahmen lesen?

Scientific images are fascinating, because they reveal things and processes that remain hidden to the human eye. It has become possible to delve ever deeper into micro- and macrocosms and capture these worlds in images. In science does photography primarily serve as the visual aid of the researcher, or does is play a much larger role? Since the invention of photography in the 1830s new demands have been placed on the capacities of the medium as a result of developing scientific practices, which have led to the continuous fine-tuning of the possibilities of the photograph. Science thus produces images based on utterly different premises than those of documentary, advertising, or artistic photography. What defines the delicate relationship between photography and science? What photographs result, and how can they be interpreted?
