Summary:
When Willem Sandberg, the newly appointed director of Amsterdam’s Stedelijk Museum, held an exhibition in 1946 in honour of Piet Mondrian, he did something quite remarkable. He placed a Swiss cheese plant next to Mondrian’s paintings. For Sandberg, the aesthetic placement of a plant in the museum made a statement. No longer would the Stedelijk be an elite temple for art; rather, he wanted the public to become accustomed to contemporary art in a familiar, domestic environment. Artist Inge Meijer investigated the vanished and subsequently forgotten vegetation in the museum during the 1945–1983 period for this book, rendering its history once again visible.

Summary:
From the time of its invention, photography has enabled artists not only to capture the world around them but also to create worlds of their own. "Utopia/Dystopia" investigates how artists from the late 19th century to the present have used photographic fragments or techniques to represent political, social, or cultural states of utopia or dystopia. Artists have employed a number of strategies to this end, such as cutting, fragmenting, and puncturing images as well as reassembling those culled from ready-made materials or giving a subject multiple exposures. The resulting photographs, photocollages, photomontages, and other creations question the validity of seamless pictorial images, and attempt to dismantle the notion of photography as an objective medium. This publication features approximately forty-five exemplary works by artists such as Herbert Bayer, John Heartfield, Hannah Hoch, Arata Isozaki, El Lissitzky, Carter Mull, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, Vik Muniz, Man Ray, Okanoue Toshiko, and many others.

Summary:
If you look through private photo albums from East Germany dating from the period 1980 to 2000, you will notice very little changing in the pictures — at most the fashions, the hairstyles, and the cars. Meanwhile, the people who holidayed on the Baltic in the eighties quite possibly headed for Mallorca in the nineties. The fact that during this time a state went into(...)

Summary:
If you look through private photo albums from East Germany dating from the period 1980 to 2000, you will notice very little changing in the pictures — at most the fashions, the hairstyles, and the cars. Meanwhile, the people who holidayed on the Baltic in the eighties quite possibly headed for Mallorca in the nineties. The fact that during this time a state went into terminal decline and then an entire society was turned upside down goes all but unseen in the pictures of children on their first day at school, weekend jaunts, and people exchanging Christmas presents. "... someone always had a camera ..." takes stock of a project that, since 2020, has been looking at private albums from these two decades to examine the world of private images they contain, informed by interviews with contemporary witnesses. In the essays in this volume, private photography is treated as a social practice, and the authors discuss how images were produced, organized in albums, and viewed, and how political conditions were registered in them.
