Now reissued in an attractively priced, compact edition, this
classic and authoritative survey is the first detailed account of a
seminal era in photographic history. Inspired and guided by Bernd
and Hiller Becher, themselves pioneers in the area of documentary
photography, the artists of Germany's Dusseldorf School not only
pushed the boundaries of their teachers' practice, but also ushered
in three generations of technical and compositional achievement
that is rivalled in importance only by the arrival of color
photography. This book introduces readers to the historic,
cultural, and scientific environments in which the Bechers'
practice thrived. It explores the teaching philosophies with which
they encouraged their students, and considers the qualities that
highlight the Dusseldorf School: intricate detail, large scale,
painterly distance combined with an immersive quality. The plate
section, organized by artist, features 160 beautifully reproduced
images by Andreas Gursky, Thomas Struth, Thomas Ruff, Candida
Hoefer, Axel Hutte, Laurenz Berges, Elger Esser, Simone Nieweg,
Joerg Sasse, and Petra Wunderlich.
The photographs, videos, installations, sculptures, and new VR
works by Louisa Clement (*1987) deal with phenomena related to a
sense of disturbance in times of political and social inse- curity.
Clement's investigations prove to be as seductive as they are
cryptic: What is a human being in a digital age in which the body's
integrity is increasingly questioned through vehement medical and
technological interventions? In an almost surreal manner, Clement's
detailed photographs conjure up a new image of the body that also
represents the ambivalent vision of a "new human being." With the
help of her photographs, taken with smartphone cameras, she
examines not only the medium's ability to reproduce images, but
also the reality of the technologically modifi ed human. This
publication is a companion to Louisa Clem- ent's fi rst museum
exhibition.
