‎SURA : Egypt through a Belgian Lens‎

‎, Snoeck Publishers (Belgium), 2023 HB, 270 x 240 mm, 232 p, 220 illustraties , EN edition. ISBN 9789461617767.‎

‎First curator of the Egyptian department at the Royal Museums of Art and History (RMAH), Jean Capart (1877-1947) is often regarded as the founding father of Belgian Egyptology. Besides being the one who gave its impulse and rise to the development of the Egyptian collection at the RMAH, he was at the root of many other initiatives that contributed to turn, within a few years only, the RMAH into a prominent research centre in Egyptology. Under Capart's leadership, one of the world's finest and most complete Egyptological libraries arose in Brussels at the RMAH during the first decades of the 20th century. Keeping up with pioneering practices that Capart had observed in leading-edge institutions around Europe and the USA, the museum's library rapidly housed a very large collection of books and journals about Egyptology and Egyptian archaeology along with an important photographic archive which was constituted for research purposes and academic dissemination as well as education and public outreach. During his entire career, Capart constantly invested in the development of this collection by feeding it with photos he bought from colleagues and institutions abroad, and with photos he and his collaborators took during their scientific missions and trips throughout Egypt and in museums over the world. The initial core on which this important photographic archive built up, and which counts more than 53.000 individual non-digital items today, consists of almost 7.000 high resolution historical glass plate photographic negatives dated to the first half of the 20th century. Although this large sub-collection constitutes, by its diversity and historical significance, an extremely rich source of documentation and information, it has been much neglected during the past decades, and its existence and contents remain completely undisclosed to the larger Egyptological community. Following Capart's initial ambition, the SURA project (sura being the Arabic word for 'photo' ) aims to make this highly valuable photographic collection available again to the international scientific community as well as to the public, by ensuring its conservation and by creating a fully digitised database that will be freely available online in the near future.‎

‎Ara G ler a play of light and shadow.‎

‎, Hannibal Books, 2023 Hardcover, 260 x 250 mm, 240 pages, ENG. edition FINE!. ISBN 9789464666298.‎

‎Turkey's best-known photographer, Ara G ler (1928-2018), depicted daily life in Turkey for three-quarters of a century. Documenting traders, fishermen, children and cats, G ler captured the rough edges of Istanbul as well as all its splendour, often in black and white but also in colour. Until recently, he could still regularly be seen on the terrace of his own caf Ara. Last summer a museum was opened there in memory of the photographer and his work. Now, some four years after his death, thousands of works from the Ara G ler archive have been digitised, revealing that he was so much more than 'the eye of Istanbul'. G ler created reportage photography over the world, including in Africa and Afghanistan. He photographed celebrities such as Alfred Hitchcock, Salvador Dal , Maria Callas and Sophia Loren. His versatility can also be seen in experimental collages from the early part of his career and in more recent work in which he plays with light and colour. This book offers a contemporary view of his work and is the first monograph to show G ler's oeuvre in all its versatility, including in colour. It is the result of years of research by Studio Polat and Foam in Amsterdam. De bekendste fotograaf van Turkije, Ara G ler (1928-2018), bracht driekwart eeuw lang het dagelijks leven van Turkije in beeld. Met het documenteren van de handelaars, de vissers, de kinderen en de katten legde G ler de rauwe randen van Istanbul maar ook al haar pracht vast, vaak in zwart-wit en ook in kleur. Tot voor kort was hij nog geregeld te zien op het terras van zijn eigen caf Ara. Afgelopen zomer opende er een museum ter nagedachtenis van de fotograaf en zijn werk. Nu, zo'n vier jaar na zijn overlijden, zijn duizenden werken uit het Ara G ler-archief gedigitaliseerd en wordt getoond dat hij zoveel meer was dan 'the eye of Istanbul'. G ler maakte fotoreportages over de hele wereld, onder meer in Afrika en Afghanistan. Hij fotografeerde beroemdheden als Alfred Hitchcock, Salvador Dal , Maria Callas en Sophia Loren. Zijn veelzijdigheid is ook te zien in experimentele collages uit het begin van zijn carri re en in recenter werk waarin hij speelt met licht en kleur. Dit boek biedt een hedendaagse kijk op zijn werk en is de eerste monografie die G lers oeuvre in zijn veelzijdigheid toont, ook in kleur. Het is het resultaat van jarenlang onderzoek door Studio Polat en Foam in Amsterdam. Met tekstbijdragen van onder anderen kunsthistorica Kim Knoppers, fotohistoricus zge Baykan Calafato, fotograaf en filmmaker Ahmet Polat en Claartje van Dijk, curator en hoofd tentoonstelling bij Foam in Amsterdam. With text contributions by art historian Kim Knoppers, historian of photography zge Baykan Calafato, photographer and filmmaker Ahmet Polat and Claartje van Dijk, curator and head of exhibitions at Foam in Amsterdam.‎

‎Atelier Stephan Vanfleteren. NL‎

‎, Hannibal Kannibaal , 2023 hardcover stofomslag, 25 x 18,4 cm, 448 pagina's, Nederlandstalige editie. ISBN 9789464666557.‎

‎De voorbije twaalf jaar fotografeerde Stephan Vanfleteren (1969) zeer intens in zijn daglichtstudio thuis. Atelier is de verzameling van dat werk. Zowel in daglicht als met kunstlicht gaat Vanfleteren op zoek naar schoonheid en betekenis. Grijze theaterdoeken zijn daarbij altijd aanwezig als constant terugkerende achtergrond. De fotograaf omarmt bekende persoonlijkheden en anonieme mensen. Hij toont het gelaat van een oude visser en inspecteert zowel de hand van Nick Cave als een op het strand gejutte fles. Hij adoreert zijn eigen opgroeiende kinderen en bevlogen oude kunstenaars. Hij bekijkt het verstijfde lijkje van een ijsvogeltje en het lichaam van een elastische danser, of hij slaat het traag schuivende zonlicht in zijn atelier gade. Vanfleteren sluit aan bij de traditie van oude en hedendaagse meesters, maar blijft trouw aan zijn karakteristieke stijl. Met zijn vakmanschap en kunstenaarshart maakt hij ons tot getuige n tot medeplichtige van een delict met invallend licht. Met tekstbijdragen van Ilja Leonard Pfeijffer en Stephan Vanfleteren.‎

‎BETTINA RHEIMS : FEMALE TROUBLE‎

‎, Schirmer/Mosel, 2005 HB, 152 pages, ENG / GER, 300 x 240 x 15 mm, 11 Coloured , 91 z/w illustrations, in Good condition. ISBN 9783829600224.‎

‎Bettina Rheims has been one of the most acclaimed woman photographers of France since the early 80s, when she first showed her sensational female nudes and portraits. Film stars, actresses and artists, models, friends, country fair acrobats and strippers-- known and unknown women have posed in front of her lens during the past twenty years. Female Trouble, first published in 1989 by Schirmer/Mosel, presents a selection of some one hundred photographs--brilliant studies on womankind mostly in black and white, her favored technique mastered with a unique subtlety. The common denominator of this collection of photographs is Rheims' sensitive and delicate relation with her sitters, revealing an extraordinary originality, empathy, sense of style and feeling for both the manifold facets of femininity and pictorial eroticism. The plates are preceded by an introductory essay by Catherine Deneuve.‎

‎Heroines‎

‎, Schirmer Mosel, 2007 Hardcover, 133 pages, ENG. edition, 370 x 300 x 20 mm, Large Format, dustjacket, In Very Good Condition. Full Page Sharp Coloured Photographs, . ISBN 9783829602983.‎

‎The skin of women who have been scratched, mistreated and loved - loved too much. Women who are very real. The cold, artificial light of a studio, like the light that bathed the artists' studios of the nineteenth century. In the center is a big rock made of papier-mache, at once base, pedestal and sculptor's stool. Haute couture dresses that have been torn, abused and recomposed - tragic and sublime, just like the Heroines who wear them. By playing on these four elements. Bettina Rheims transcends portrait, fashion and nude photography and touches on something more secret and intimate - something painful, amorous and captivating that comes more from the soul than from the body. .‎

‎Antwerp, fifty one , 2023 softcover, 145 pages, 21 x 15 cm. Fine. ISBN 9789463883290.‎

‎In the annals of photographic history, there exist visionaries who have graced the world with their artistic prowess, capturing beauty, emotions, and moments that resonate with our souls. And then, there are those like Marcel de Baer, a man who navigated life?s starkly utilitarian landscapes with an extraordinary blend of precision and indifference. Within the pages of this small book, we embark on a journey into the enigmatic world of Marcel de Baer, a man who never aspired to be a photographer but, in the line of duty, became an inadvertent chronicler of life?s most somber moments. Marcel de Baer?s story unfolds within the solemn corridors of justice, where he stood as an expert witness for the public prosecutor. His domain was far removed from the charming streets of artistic Paris or the grandeur of exotic landscapes; instead, it was the gritty aftermath of automobile collisions in rural Belgium. As the sentinel of the law, he would promptly arrive at the scenes of major traffic accidents, meticulously documenting what had transpired through the lens of his camera, precise measurements, and technical drawings. His duty was not to craft visual poetry but to distill the stark facts into a narrative comprehensible to judges and juries. With a clinical eye, he faithfully discharged his responsibilities, capturing the aftermath of chaos‎

‎The first book to consider Kiefer's photography and use of photographs in his wider artistic practice. Known for his monumental painting and installations, the internationally celebrated artist Anselm Kiefer's works are marked by a constant questioning of history and collective memory. Born in Germany two months before the Nazi capitulation in 1945, Kiefer's reflections on post-war identity, loss, and shared experience, nourished by myths and literature, create an unparalleled breadth of imagery. The use of photography as both practice and source material is a little-known aspect of Kiefer's art that has played a central role throughout his career. This book presents over 130 works charting the artist's relationship with photography, and his investigations into what images reveal.‎

‎, Skira (Thames), 2024 HB, 320 x 245 mm, 224 p, ENG. colored illustrations; NEW. ISBN 9788857251059.‎

‎Jimmy Nelson: Humanity is about the renowned photographer Jimmy Nelson's personal and artistic journey across the world, an expedient to take people across a deeper journey of reflection on their own identity as part of the universal family of humans. His travels are similar to field expeditions, with lots of preparation and contingencies to take into account. They can last weeks, if not months. For Jimmy Nelson, traveling is part of his artistic process, epitomizing a resolute search into what it means to be human, deeply, at the core of our shared origins from one same source in the African continent. In the process, he has reconnected with his own deeper self and has realized that humanity is all one. In Jimmy Nelson: Humanity, the photographer is passionate to share why he is obsessively searching for a form of art that can embrace what he experiences in the field, when he finds alignment with the people, nature, light; a sense of balance that creates a symphony of experiences that analogue photography, in the form of the giant 10x8 negatives, gets close to express and that allows him to funnel all the emotions that he wants to record visually, in just one instant. Through his spectacular shots, Jimmy Nelson's journey becomes our journey and indigenous peoples, normally photographed as an ethnographic subject, become the protagonists of a story of "unadulterated beauty" that empowers the beholders to perceive all humanity.‎
