The subjects Christian Voigt photographs are incredibly diverse: a tattoo studio in Buenos Aires is at home in his repertoire next to New York's Morgan Library, while an enchanting landscape in Myanmar is juxtaposed with the clean lines of Amsterdam's Rijksmuseum. He uses analog and digital large-format cameras to create the desired effect of a greatly condensed image. And although the result generally gets a digital fine-tuning, Voigt stresses that he develops his unique visual language with his camera, not a computer. Intense artificial colour and imposing formats, such as his museum series with images that are eight meters wide, make viewers gape in awe and wonder. Voigt travels the world searching for interesting stories, which he then retells for us most impressively in his series of photographs.

"El libro ivita a ""vaciar nuestros museos"", tanto los reales como los que cada uno llevamos insertados en nuestra memoria, para plantear nuevos enfoques que sean capaces de abordar tanto nuestro pasado como nuestro futuro. Los recursos visuales empleados por Ballester en estas piezas cambian la posicion del espectador frente al mundo exterior y frente a su propia memoria.La muestra parte de la idea del artista de que ningun museo es capaz de contener entre sus muros la esencia de la cultura. Para Ballester, los museos no son mas que espacios que custodian lo mas representativo que la historia nos ofrece en cada momento. Una historia fragmentada y en la mayoria de los casos, descontextualizada,que nos permite indagar en un pasado borroso y que ciclicamente pasa por revisiones"

Many have tried to convey the true spirit of Africa's animals in words, photography, or in music. There may be no challenge greater; Africa's fauna are vast in number and rich in diversity. In this finely crafted collection, French photographer Laurent Baheux uses the medium of black-and-white photography to capture the intricate details of both the wondrous beasts and the magnificent settings in which they dwell. This wide-ranging volume lays particular emphasis on his subjects' individual spirits-revealing all of their vulnerability while losing nothing of their raw vitality. Every photograph is so carefully composed and well lit that the details equal the evocative precision of an Old Masters portrait. Through Baheux's eyes we get close to creatures that will both inspire and humble us all.

The female form has been a central theme in art for as long as there has been some form of artistic expression. This new title is a worthy addition to that veritable canon that celebrates feminine grace and strength. Compiled over a period of seven years, this volume of photographs is a visual tribute to the women of Denmark-to their womanly beauty and integrity as individuals. The subjects come from all walks of life-models, singers, artists, actresses, artists, and students. Serene and timeless, every portrait allows the individual personality to shine through. The reader is immediately struck not only by the pride these women take, both in their bodies and in their spirits, but also by their indomitable strength and sense of purpose.

Frank De Mulder is synonymous with erotic photography of the highest caliber. Known as a leader in his field, he endeavours to connect us with each model's unique personality. All his images are both highly original and sensually compelling. This season marks the publication of the fourth book of his critically acclaimed and internationally renowned nude photography. Entitled Heaven, those who browse these pages will certainly enter a fantastical realm. Thoroughly charged with eroticism, these works have a sophistication few others approach. Each composition is complex, combining a daring spirit with a nuanced sensibility. As you'd expect from De Mulder, the settings are exotic, the models are some of the most stunning in the world, with narratives intriguing and provocative

It takes enviable skill and dedication to achieve mastery in the arts. Yet even more remarkable is the artist who widens his scope to venture beyond his already widely acclaimed signature style. Few would dare to even consider such a risk...However, in Senza Parole, Marc Lagrange is audacious enough to make that thrilling leap as he boldly showcases a broad array of distinctive approaches-everything from starkly straight nude studies-in the honourable tradition of Helmut Newton-to Lagrange's more typically intricate and exotic compositions. The photographer's devoted followers will still find the dream-like eroticism he is known for, yet, in this work, each photograph is one of a kind, with Lagrange's hallmark of technical perfection. As one would expect from Lagrange, each tableau is carefully configured with not a single detail left to chance.

Although alluring, the idea of a sensual wonderland seems to be permanently beyond our grasp. Yet so compelling is the notion, we would do almost anything to attain such bliss. It is the tension and instinctive drama of this age-old quest that David Drebin chronicles in his latest work-aptly titled, Chasing Paradise. These skilfully arranged scenarios convey the thrill of deeply illicit adventures. We find ourselves intrigued, yet also slightly concerned by the risks. Set against distinctive backdrops, Drebin's models seem to occupy a supernatural state of being. Powerful and all-knowing, each one has the mystery of a mythical figure-upon whose loveliness we mortals can only hope to gaze. Drebin seduces us with every twist and turn of his darkly sensual narratives

En 1964 Amos Tutuola escribió"Mi vida en la maleza de los fantasmas". Poco después tuvo que huir del país para escapar de las reacciones violentas a un libro que supondría toda una revolución en la narrativa africana contemporanea. La historia contada por un niño de corta edad, utilizando un estilo muy basico, directo, ingenuo y repetitivo, logra transmitir la vertiente magica y absurda que la guerra y la religion infunden a la realidad nigeriana. El libro de Cristina de Middel tiene como objetivo proporcionar una version ilustrada contemporanea de esta historia y la adaptacion de los personajes, el espacio y el ambiente a la situacion real del pais.

Japan is often thought of as a place where the modern world and ancient traditions meet in surprising and fascinating ways. The rapid pace of technological, social and cultural change throughout the 20th century propelled the country forward but left countless establishments, industries and entire towns deserted.

Heliographs, or light drawings, was the term French inventor of photography Nicephore Niepce used for his photographic images. "Light drawings" is also a fitting description of Andreas von Maltzan's work. The areas of light and shadow that convey a suggestion of the object being photographed may remind the viewer of Niepce's View from the Window at Le Gras, the earliest known photograph taken in 1826/1827. Andreas von Maltzan photographs real places, like Venice or the Maldives, but it is never about the places as such, but rather the trails of light that they leave on the digital camera's chip, the exuberant colours and movements. In his spontaneous images, usually taken at night, reality crumbles into pixels and is reborn as abstract works of art. This volume provides the first survey of von Maltzan's work.

Los protagonistas de Nimius son objetos de la vida cotidiana. Pero a través de sus fotografías, bajo la creatividad de su mirada, García de Marina perturba su descanso para otorgarles significados diferentes y utilidades atipicas, en directa rivalidad con la esencia para la que fueron creados. El autor utiliza estos objetos, pero tambien los subvierte. Repara en la grandeza de lo minimo y reivindica una nueva realidad desde la paradoja, la ironia, el humor y la metafora. Nimius huye de lo cotidiano. Nimius es alternativa, emocion, creatividad e irreverencia. Todo un reto para los sentidos.
