I když umělecká, stejně jako jakákoliv jiná fotografie už dávno není specifickým, snadno definovatelným médiem, stále snad zůstává citlivou deskou zobrazující identity současného světa. Otázka, jaká je její role poté, co ji adoptoval internet a sociální sítě, však zaměstnává nejen současné teoretiky, ale především řadu umělců samotných. Multiplicita, manipulovatelnost a všudypřítomnost digitálního obrazu poskytují takřka neomezené možnosti a oscilování mezi reprezentací a participací, autentickým a posthumánním, pohyblivým a statickým a dalšími rozhraními nastoluje celou řadu témat a zpětných reflexí média. V reakci na živelný proces fragmentace svébytného uměleckého média do sdílené, autonomně jednající komunikační sítě můžeme v tvorbě umělců, vycházejících z fotografických principů, sledovat různé reflexívní přístupy: Obrat k materialitě a organickým tvarům, hmatovým a jiným smyslovým aspektům, k singularitě díla, k abstraktním formám, k akcentování sociálních či psychologických funkcí média… Škála všech přístupů je těžko uchopitelná jinak než metaforicky – třeba představou rozpínajícího se vesmíru. Vyslali jsme do něj klíčové slovo „postmediální fotografie“. Ukázalo se několik pozoruhodných objektů, myšlenek a postřehů, které předkládáme tak, jak jsme je našli: prostřednictvím odpovědí od desítky teoretiků nabízíme fragmentární sondu do postmediálního fotografického a digitálního obrazu, který alespoň symbolicky zachycuje hybridní a výsostně prosíťovaný charakter naší situace. Zahlédneme kosmické objekty vzniklé v nedávné minulosti nebo také před desítkami let, pozorovatelné ze stále nových úhlů. Katalog Věštění z noční oblohy částečně zakryté mraky. Role fotografie v postmediální době vychází ke stejnojmenné výstavě konané v Domě fotografie od 24. května do 18. září 2022.

Fashion writer Eloise Moran has studied thousands of pictures of Princess Diana over the past few years. Looking carefully at Diana's clothes, she discovered that behind each outfit lies a carefully crafted strategy. What Lady Di couldn't express verbally, she seemed to express through her clothes. With The Lady Di Look Book Eloise Moran takes us on a photographic journey celebrating Princess Diana's fashion choices over the years. From the pink gingham pants and pastel-yellow overalls of a sacrificial lamb - to the sexy Versace mini dresses, power suits, and cycling shorts of a free woman; this is an interpretation of Diana's most show stopping eighties and early nineties outfits and of course, her most fearless post-divorce revenge looks. Whether it's '80s cottagecore Diana, androgynous bow-tie Diana, little black dress Diana, or athleisure Diana - there is a look for everyone. Full of wit and humour, The Lady Di Look Book illuminates what a bold, and inspiring fashion icon Diana really was and shows that there's a bit of Diana in all of us.

Vivid, bold, spectacular and unexpected: a definitive overview of one of contemporary photography's most innovative fields, showcasing flower imagery by more than 120 of the world's leading practitioners. There has never been a period in photography's long history - no school, no movement - when flowers have not been a central focus, whether in the form of the classic still life, the botanical study, incorporated into portraiture and studies of the human body, documented in street photography, or used subversively in surrealist collage and montage. Today, flower photography remains in full bloom, with photographers the world over depicting flowers and floral motifs in novel ways. Featuring works by more than 120 photographers, Flora Photographica links the very best of flower photography from the past thirty years with its predecessors - canonical floral studies from the realms of photography, botanical illustration, drawing and painting that have marked the collective imagination for centuries, if not millennia. Works by contemporary photographers such as Cindy Sherman, Thomas Ruff, Vik Muniz, Valerie Belin, Viviane Sassen, and Martin Schoeller appear across nine thematic chapters, complemented by two in-depth essays by curators William A. Ewing and Danae Panchaud exploring the relationship between contemporary works and the rich traditions of floral art and photography. Vibrant and abundant with myriad species of flora, this stunning book is both a celebration of organic beauty and a keen look at the meaning of flowers in human culture - not to mention an insightful look at a key aspect of contemporary photography - making it a must-have publication for lovers of flowers and photography alike.

Photographer Federico Povoleri is a native Venetian and knows his hometown like almost no one else. With his black-and-white photographs, he captures an atmosphere of the lagoon city that is usually lost in the buzz of the tourist crowds. His experiences and knowledge of the city allow him to capture motifs that we seem to know, and yet show Venice to us in a new light. His book of photographs becomes a wistful declaration of love for his hometown and a warning of the creeping destruction that threatens this unparalleled beauty. Text in English and German.

Do distribučnej siete spoločnosti IKAR pribúda dvanásty knižný titul dnes už renomovaného autora fotografických publikácii Antona Diváckého. Umelec opäť originálnym spôsobom zaujíma postoj k osobným i spoločenským premenám v širokom celospoločenskom rozmere i zmysle. „Práve preto som vytvoril súbor kombinovaných techník a fotografií, ktoré majú byť mementom vnímania zmien, premien i deformácií okolo nás. Preto opäť používam slovo, ako ilustráciu k výtvarnému prejavu“, hovorí autor. Táto výnimočná kniha je vhodná rovnako pre zberateľov umenia ako i milovníkov fotografií, či ako darček pre každého, kto má rád knihy a zamýšľa sa nad súčasnosťou.

Dezső László (1970, Gyergyótölgyes) az erdélyi kortárs fotográfia egyik kiemelkedő alakja. A Székelyföldön élő és alkotó fotós fényképei számtalan hazai és nemzetközi fotószalon egyéni és közös tárlatain köszönnek vissza, illetve napilapok, neves magazinok is kérik és közlik fotóit. Fényképei elsősorban az 1991-ben általa alapított gyergyószentmiklósi MARK HOUSE Kiadó és Nyomda égisze alatt megjelenő, turistáknak, túrázóknak, természetbarátoknak (és nem csak) szóló termékeket illusztrálja – a magyar, román, angol és német nyelveken megjelenő turistakalauzok, útikönyvek, atlaszok, naptárak és egyéb kiadványok oldalait színesítik a környezete természeti szépségeit és értékeit, az épített örökséget, a kultúrát, hagyományokat megörökítő és dokumentáló fotográfiái. Eddigi megjelent jelentősebb munkái között találjuk a Világszép gyilkostó (2008), a Gyilkostó (2010), a Csíksomlyó, a kegyhely (2010), a Barangolások Gyergyószéken (2016), az Erdély – A Kárpátok Tündérkertje (2018) című, gazdagon illusztrált köteteket. Dezső László ismert és elismert természetjáró, mindennapjainak jelentős részét természetközelben éli meg. 2008 és 2014 között Erdély legrégebbi és legnagyobb turistaszervezetének, az Erdélyi Kárpát-Egyesületnek országos vezetője volt. Kiválóan ismeri a Kárpátok és Erdély vadregényes tájainak rejtett természeti ritkaságait. Időt, fáradságot nem kímél, amikor akár több napot és több száz kilométert kell utaznia egy-egy egyedi fénykép elkészítése érdekében.Dezső László a gyergyószentmiklósi Vadgazdálkodási Egyesület tagjaként Székelyföldön az elsők között hozott létre vad, és különösen a medvék megfigyelésére alkalmas biztonságos lest. Az elmúlt 10 évben több száz napot és éjszakát töltött a vadonban, a medvék természetes életterében és társaságában. A számtalan, türelemmel és fegyelemmel ellesett pillanat tapasztalatait következetesen feljegyezte, naplóba foglalta, és fényképezőgéppel megörökítette. Ennek a kitartó tevékenységnek gyümölcse a MEDVE című albumjellegű könyv. A könyv élethűen mutatja be a kárpáti barna medve életét, életkörülményeit a születés pillanatától a domináns medvévé válásig. Külön fejezetek foglalkoznak a medve egykori és napjainkban történő vadászatával, de az ember és medve kapcsolatát érintve, a napjainkban mindennapossá vált és világgá kürtölt székelyföldi medveproblémák árnyalatait is láttatja. A benne megjelenő több mint 200 fénykép segítségével nem mindennapi lencsevégre kapott pillanatoknak lehetünk a szemtanúi.

A rocky coast along the Sea of Japan; an immense plain of rice fields in the snow; Mount Fuji towering over misty wooded hills; silent temples devoid of people but brimming with Buddhist deities; a Torii gate mysteriously emerging from moving clouds and water-these are a few images from this remarkable collection of photographs by Michael Kenna, whose black-and-white work is highly renowned. Forms of Japan, brilliantly designed by Yvonne Meyer-Lohr, is organized into chapters simply titled, "Sea," "Land," "Trees," "Spirit," and "Sky." The quietly evocative photographs, often paired with classic haiku poems of Basho, Buson, Issa and others, provide a contemplative portrait of a country better-known for its energy and industry. Gorgeously reproduced to convey the enormous subtleties that exist in Michael Kenna's traditional black-and-white silver prints, the photographs in this book include both well-known and previously unpublished images from all corners of Japan: Hokkaido, Honshu, Kyushu, Okinawa and Shikoku.

Říká se, že pivo je český národní nápoj. A žádné jiné řemeslo nesouviselo v minulosti tak významně s hospodářským a politickým vývojem českých zemí jako pivovarství. Ale jak se pivo dříve vařilo? Jaké dnes již zaniklé profese se s ním pojily? Kde se scházeli proslulé pivní společnosti? Kniha fotografa a majitele rodinné sbírky starých fotografií Pavla Scheuflera představuje pivní kulturu z pohledu fotografů časů monarchie, počínaje od sklizně chmele, přes proces výroby a zrání, až po pivní radovánky. Jednotlivé fotografie doprovází autor poutavými příběhy, které starým snímkům vdechují život.

End of a century... In the late 1990s as a graduate from art school I began making pictures for my beloved Sleazenation magazine and in particular for the infamous listing pages to the rear of the magazine that were called "Savoir Vivre" (loosely translated as to know how to live!) The images were made in B&W and were immensely candid and full of characters that seems to be everywhere at that time. The images on the pages were essentially describing to those that liked to go clubbing what they actually looked like, what those in the provinces who desired the decadent lifestyle of the urban cool could eventually look like and for the international reader in the fashion capitals of Paris, Milan and Rome it kept them wondering what on earth was going on. London was at the epicentre of a cultural boom. Small clubs, parties and discos where a plenty in venues from North to South and I was in a minicab and night bus taking in 3-4 of an evening. My weekends were a write off and I slept most of Monday trying to recover...Here are the spoils for while my young son was sleeping I was involved in capturing a period in time that was filled with love, lust and messy authenticity, carefree and devoid of today's global, big tech cynicism. Nothing here was perceived or played out. It was done with wide eyed hope and wonder and I'm not sure we can ever return to this place or at least not for a good while. As my world as a photographer has expanded throughout the capitals of Europe and across the Atlantic shooting campaigns and fashion editorials for V magazine, POP and Vogue Hommes I can look at these pictures with perhaps some greater objectivity. My son, now in his early 20s sits beside me and discusses those times and how they differ from today as he negotiates the beginning of his creative journey. These pictures aren't about Teds, Skinheads, Northern Soul, Acid House or Jungle and Garage, they're not about Nu Metal or South London blackout clubs...but they are all here alongside high street carpet clubs because here in the UK we know how to throw a party, we work hard and play hard, grace under pressure, street style into high fashion To quote Ray Davies I ask, 'Where have all the good times gone'? I remain friends with many of the characters that were my colleagues at sleazenation at that time. Steve Beale and Justin Quirk were the irreverent editorial team eventually cherry picked by Emap and Conde Naste to become significant editors and creatives respectively. The Photo editor who gave me my break out of art school was Steve Lazarides who went on a few years later to represent and champion a graffiti artist called Banksy, The Magazines firebrand designer was for a while Scott King who immediately won awards for his controversial front covers and designs. I clearly remember meeting Wolfgang Tillmans at one of his exhibition openings in Herald Street in what must have been 1999. He raved about the pictures we had been making for the magazine and enjoyed the overall subversive sentiment. I was enthused and still am to this day. I'd suggest many of these collaborators to work alongside one another to help articulate and visualise this group of pictures into a book. Most of the images have never been seen before and I believe an international audience would be hungry for the authenticity found in an era that perhaps should have known better. I'm glad we didn't .

A stunning collection of the most iconic photographs ever made of Black Flag, along with never-before-seen photos and a foreword by Chuck Dukowski. 256 jam-packed pages, over 300 photographs, and over 70% of the photos have never been seen What I See: The Black Flag Photographs of Glen E. Friedman is an incredible compilation of all of Friedman's most iconic and recognizable images (from 1980 to 1983), of this seminal American punk band, as well as over one hundred never-before-seen photos made during those phenomenal peak years in the group's history. The book includes a foreword by Chuck Dukowski, a cofounder and bass player of Black Flag. Friedman's own introduction to the book takes readers through his journey with the group, from the very first time he heard their music, to his perspectives on the music of the era, to the how, why, and what Black Flag was doing at the time. His words provide additional context to the imagery, explaining what drove him to create his art alongside the band. From the streets around Black Flag's single-room home base/office, rehearsing for their first album, handing out flyers, wheat-pasting posters, driving for hours to a show and returning the same night, house parties, clubs, to the big stage and the beach, Glen E. Friedman was there with his heart, soul, and most importantly his camera. In What I See, he shares with us and inspires us with these images that were made over an incredibly volatile four-year time span.

The year 1972 brought together two legends of rock 'n' roll at the peaks of their careers: Jim Marshall and the Rolling Stones. Selected by LIFE magazine to photograph the Stones' EXILE ON MAIN ST. tour, Marshall had a week of unlimited access. The results are his now-iconic images of the band, onstage in their full glory and backstage in moments of unguarded camaraderie. Marshall's ability to capture the essential spirit of an artist and the transformative power of music is matched only by the Stones' larger-than-life energy. Fifty years after these photographs were taken, they retain the power to thrill and inspire. This definitive edition presents the images as they were meant to be seen: at a larger size and in the rich, high-contrast tones Marshall favored. The original content is enhanced with never-before-seen proof sheets and two new essays by photographer and film director Anton Corbijn and Nikki Sixx of Motley Crue. This is the ultimate, immersive experience of one of the greatest moments in music history.

When we encounter an animal in nature, it triggers something in us; we feel a certain emotion in the presence of the other creature: amazement, adoration, fascination, and indeed, in some situations, fear and apprehension. But a brush with a deer, wild boar, or hare is no comparison to a rendezvous with a grizzly, lion, shark, or pod of whales. Amos Nachoum and Marko Dimitrijevic have experienced this hundreds of times in their combined 70 years as wildlife photographers. Now, for the first time, they are combining their award-winning photographs with previously unpublished photographs of the world's largest animals in one book. The two photographers, who are also friends, tell us what it is like to be out in the wild and look the world's biggest animals right in the eye. The structure of the book's chapters is arranged based on human emotions such as amazement, admiration, fear, and love. In their book, Nachoum and Dimitrijevic bring us closer to the giant animals of our planet, and allow us to share what these two men feel during these encounters, helping us learn about ourselves when we do so. Text in English and German.
