Summary:
Walter Niedermayr (born 1952) is among Europe's finest contemporary photographers, a virtuoso in the portrayal of contemporary architecture and Alpine landscapes whose subtle handling of scale, diffuse light effects and desaturated color has been much imitated in recent years. Between 2005 and 2008, Niedermayr traveled in Iran, visiting Tehran, Isfahan, Yazd, Shiraz and other smaller cities and historical sites. His travels spurred the undertaking of a new series examining Iranian architecture in its cultural and historical context. The resulting photographs reveal a wild mingling of east and west as older buildings jostle with colorful billboards, beltways and apartment blocks that look as if they could be located anywhere in the world. As with Niedermayr's famous winter landscapes, the majestic, pale color composition of these photographs transports them far beyond mere documentary, towards a sense of tremendous scale and implied political narrative.

Summary:
Michael Schreier’s photographic art represents several years’ inquiry with particular reference to his birthplace, Vienna, Austria. His portraits and photographs of architectural details offer powerful entry into another place and another time : the Holocaust. In her essay, Falvey probes this compelling work with a discussion of the “refusal to depict what cannot or should not be represented realistically; an art of respectful silence before sublime history.” Schreier’s work navigates these troubled aesthetic waters. In English and French.

The magic of photography is its unique power to capture a moment in the past to be viewed in the present, to capture a subject suspended between life and death.

Summary:
The magic of photography is its unique power to capture a moment in the past to be viewed in the present, to capture a subject suspended between life and death. This evocative, beautifully written catalog from Japan's Izu Photo Museum documents an inspired exhibition that looks into photography's mystical way of suspending time. Even with the relatively recent inclusion of vernacular photos in photography collections, the study of the art form has remained almost entirely Euro-centric. In Suspending Time, curator Geoffrey Batchen opens the door to using Japanese vernacular photos. With over 100 plates of cabinet cards, Daguerreotypes, photography jewelry, tintypes, Japanese ambrotypes, and Mexican sculptures.

Summary:
The first exhibition catalog for emerging photographer/filmmaker Sebastian Stumpf explores the gaps in public space and the accessibility of pictorial space in various media. The video project documented in this catalog is part of a group called Leaving White Spaces, which are produced in different art institutions and then projected at the site of their production. There are also 28 photographs of Stumpf literally standing on doors and walls between the gaps of buildings in Tokyo. While there are clear signs of life, the only figure inhabiting these architectural spaces is Stumpf's. The Leipzig-based artist, a student of renowned photographer Timm Rautert, is included in the upcoming 2010 Berlin Biennale. His photographs flash us back and forth between our lived experiences of cities and the possibilities available in the gaps.
