Andr\u00e9 Gelpke\u2019s personal commentary on the absurdities of our lives. True to the artist\u2019s motto, \u201cPhotography is a whore, never faithful, always feigning,\u201d Gelpke uses the medium to formulate his subjective view of the world. Without being explanatory or anecdotal, he examines, with the help of the camera, the small, naturally occurring settings of everyday life. Along with Michael Schmidt and Heinrich Riebesehl, Gelpke is one of the most important writer-photographers in post-war Germany. Amok brings together for the first time images taken over a period of twelve years, from 2002 to 2014.<\/p>\n<p>216 pages, 20 x 27 cm, German\/English, Linen hardcover, published by\u00a0Spector Books and\u00a0co-published with cpress, Zurich<br \/>\nDesign: Christof N\u00fcssli<br \/>\nEditors: Andr\u00e9 Gelpke, Christof N\u00fcssli<br \/>\nLeipzig 2014<br \/>\nISBN: 978-3-944669-81-6<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mottodistribution.com\/shop\/amok.html\">Buy it<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 Amok is Andr\u00e9 Gelpke\u2019s personal commentary on the absurdities of our lives.
