Fotohof 2020 ISBN 9783903334045 Acqn 30835
Pb 21x28cm 128pp ills £23.95
Text in German
Wolf Suschitzky - Work is the beginning of a series of books, which will give insight into the
constantly growing holdings of the FOTOHOF archive. The first volume is dedicated to the
photographic work of Wolf Suschitzky, whose estate has been stored and catalogued in Salzburg
since 2018. The selection of images presented here is not guided by the claim to present this
extensive work in its entirety, which spans from the early 1930s to the 21st century. Rather, the
selection is based on the theme of "work", a subject that is omnipresent in the work of Vienna-
born Wolf Suschitzky, and thus directs the gaze to certain continuities in a biography punctuated
by emigration and exile.

Angelika Krinzinger - In Detail

Pb 23x28cm 112pp col ills £27.50
Under the title Im Detail, Angelika Krinzinger's new book brings together her most important
groups of works from the last decades. Angelika Krinzinger's conceptual and intimate
photographic series always reflect the inherent conditions and history of the medium. Each
photograph shows a section of the world per se, and the world first of all as a surface.
Krinzinger's extreme close-ups, for example in the body details or in breast milk or ambergris,
draw their depth from her knowledge of the history of pictorial depictions of the body - her never
voyeuristic photography abstracts and shows the possibility of a view of sexuality and physicality
in an equally objective and tender way. "The artist gives insight into her photographic work, which
is characterized by her interest in the structures and surfaces of animate and inanimate things
and is guided by a longing to make size and strength visible, in the small, in the detail. (Verena
Kaspar-Eisert).

Carlos Spottorno & Guillermo Abril Die Verwerfung - The Fault Line
The practice of Spanish artists Spottorno and Abril incorporates journalism, literature and
photographic art. They publish, among other things, in the Spanish magazine El Pais Semanal or
in the Suddeutsche Zeitung, as well as in fiction publishing houses throughout Europe. Their work
is also being exhibited in art photography institutions. In 2016 they published a sensational report
on the external border of Europe as a graphic novel. This pictorial story combines subjective
eyewitness accounts with researched facts and an unusual form of illustrative photography. The
book has so far been translated into five languages and appeared in German under the title "Der
Riss". As part of INN SITU, the duo created a reportage in words and pictures about the border
between Austria and Italy, North Tyrol and South Tyrol. A border which, for the two southern
Europeans, is an example of successful coexistence in the middle of the European Union, despite
its origins as a result of the First World War and its conflict-ridden history.

Analog Algorithm - Landscapes of Machine Learning

In her new book Analog Algorithm - Landscapes of Machine Learning, Susanne Huth
photographs architectural aspects of the new digital cultural landscapes in Silicon Valley, San
Francisco and the Bay Area. The novel Microserfs by Douglas Coupland (first edition 1995)
provides the inspiration for the photography and the essay by Maren Lubbke-Tidow as well as the
book's design and typography. Indeed, the cover of Analog Algorithm references the cover of the
1996 edition. The fonts are those used in Microserfs, specifically Helvetica, Courier and Chicago,
all of which helped shape the typographic aesthetic of the internet in the 1990s. The photographs
are complemented by an illustrative series featuring abstractions and evolutions of the websites
of the companies that were photographed for the book, such as Google, Facebook and LinkedIn.
The light tones of the photographs in the book emulate Henry Wessel's analogue prints,
particularly those featured in works such as California and the West and Night Walk for night
shots.

Christopher Mavric - Zwischen Brucken

Text in German
This book is a voyage of discovery to a little known place and the people who live there: Vienna's
Brigittenau District. Slightly off the beaten track, the 20th Municipal District is scarcely familiar
even to many Viennese, perhaps because at first sight it appears to have nothing spectacular,
nothing exceptional to offer. Founded 120 years ago on land reclaimed from the Danube
marshlands, what was once a working-class district and is now an immigrant district never quite
managed to shake off its image of a somewhat incidental Viennese suburb. Yet a second glance
reveals an astonishing variety of characters among the arterial roads, the sprawling tenements,
the abandoned industrial estates, and the secretive riverside paths. Over a period of five years
Christopher Mavric documented his spontaneous encounters with the residents of 'the 20th' and
their living environment using his analogue medium-format camera. These are all short stories
captured in a single image in with the portrayed are able to express themselves, some
vociferously, others more quietly.

Anja Manfredi - Glimpses into the stars became space

The exhibition and accompanying book project are aimed at mapping Vienna's sacred sites by
adopting an artistic and curatorial approach. The globe, specifically the scaled-down spherical
model of the heavens and its multitude of constellations, is our primaeval image, our preamble:
indeed, our very existence is barely conceivable without our gaze up towards the heavens as we
wonder what is out there. Similarly, the city bears witness to the existence and evolution of a
multi-faceted civil society with all manner of professions of faith; it is also shaped by a topological
order of spiritual practices. Text: Nicole Haitzinger.

Andreas Nierhaus - Ein Architekt als Medienstratege. Otto Wagner und die Fotografie
Pb 22x21cm 180pp ills £18.95
Text in German
Otto Wagner (1841-1918), a pioneer of modern architecture, also broke new ground with his
passionate advocacy of radical changes in building and construction. The use of private
photographs, unusual perspectives and details as well as his unerring instinct for the impact of
the photographic image are defining aspects of his forward-looking approach to the medium.
Wagner was aware of the wide range of possibilities afforded by photography as well as its
advantages compared with drawings and models, which were his profession's established means
of communication. This publication draws on photographs only recently discovered in Otto
Wagner's estate to analyse the strategic use of the medium of photography in the early days of
modern architecture.

An Architect's Library
Pb 17x21cm 128pp ills £27.50
Bogdan Bogdanovic's library in Belgrade is the stuff of urban legends. Expansive and abundant, it
formed the intellectual bedrock of the renowned architect's erudite oeuvre. Since the mid-1990s,
however, the famed library was largely inaccessible even to its owner, who died 2010 exiled in
Vienna. "I wish my library was here with me," Bogdanovic would often lament to his wife Ksenija.
The legend of the library was kept alive by the generations of Bogdanovic's students, whom he
often greeted there while he still taught at the University of Belgrade. This book now brings it back
into view, in the hope that, one day, it would become accessible to all.

Josef Perndl – CRASHER

Text in German
Auto crash racing is undeniably an acquired taste: professionally organised special-interest

events in divisions called SERIENNAH [near-series] and CRASH SPEZIAL, with racing teams
and vast fan communities that are game for anything - fine examples of a subcultural motor-sport
genre that makes do without huge financial means, but has plenty of heart and passion. For this
colourful photo book Josef Perndl attended various races in Austria between 2017 and 2019 and
dedicated his vivid photo book "to this peculiar circus of dirt and noise and rock'n'roll which I
maybe ought to think should be banned". (Wolf Haas).

Robert Zahornicky - POLAROID POEMS

Pb 16x22cm 160p col ills £27.50
Knowing its history full well, Robert Zahornicky has chosen to explore the photogram. And in a
concept structured around a new experimental process based on instant image photography, he
elevates it to a new means of artistic expression. "Sofortbild Fotogramme" [Instant Image
Photograms] is the title of his four-part series of works, created in 1988, 1996, 2008 and,
currently, 2019. Many of the titles bear the botanically correct Latin designations of the flora
depicted.
His starting point in each case are blossoms, petals, meadow flowers and grasses placed on the
instant film, either individually or as an arrangement, for short exposure times. The flower parts
are entirely arranged in a dark environment, based on the motif. And in arranging his objects,
Zahornicky works like a blind agent capable only of sensing the objects by haptic means,
deliberately embracing randomness as part of the design process. The brief light source paints
the motif, which then gradually releases the colour image during the development process lasting
several minutes.

Gudrun Kemsa - Moving Portraits

In her photographic works and video installations Dusseldorf photo and video artist Gudrun
Kemsa explores the representation of space, time and motion. Her gaze focuses on public
spaces, usually in urban settings, streets and squares in which she captures events as they
evolve. The photographs taken all over the world show the influence of time on the perception
and dynamic drive afforded to the static image space. Time is expressed as a dimension in
motion, with the energetic force of light as the central motif. Gudrun Kemsa's works involve the
observer as subject of the observation, driving him or her to an active form of reception. The
exhibition catalogue documents Gudrun Kemsa's new video series entitled Moving Portraits and
the eponymous series of large-format photographs.
