His fight was waged not only with his camera, but also through film, sculpture, and the queer parties he organized.The publication Erwin Olaf Freedom offers an in-depth survey of the full reach of his rich, varied and groundbreaking work, from the early 1980s until just before his death. It is an indispensable book for anyone who views art as a catalyst for change.With contributions by Charlotte Cotton, Gemma Rolls-Bentley, Jonathan Turner, Rein Wolfs and others, as well as conversations with Taco Dibbits, Hans van Manen, Charl Landvreugd and Shirley den Hartog and Els Wuyts.This book is published on the occasion of the exhibition of the same name in Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam from October 11, 2025, to March 1, 2026.

The End of the Game, una publicación histórica sobre África, combina un texto sobresaliente y unas fotografías magníficas de Peter Beard para documentar la superpoblación y el hambre de decenas de miles de elefantes, rinocerontes e hipopotamos en las tierras bajas de Tsavo, en Kenia, y en los parques nacionales de Uganda en las decadas de 1960 y 1970. Beard dedico dos decadas a investigar y compilar material para esta obra, que actualizo posteriormente en varias ocasiones. El resultado es un libro esencial que ofrece un testimonio poderoso y conmovedor del daño causado por la intervencion humana en Africa. Sus imagenes y textos se complementan con fotografias historicas y citas de empresarios, exploradores, misioneros y cazadores de caza mayor cuya busqueda de aventuras y progreso iba a cambiar la faz de un continente: Theodore Roosevelt, Frederick Courteney Selous, Karen Blixen (Isak Dinesen), Philip Percival, J. A. Hunter, Ernest Hemingway y J. H. Patterson. Esta nueva edicion incluye una entrevista con el conservacionista Dr. Esmond Bradley Martin, asi como ensayos procedentes de ediciones anteriores del reconocido escritor Paul Theroux, el ecologo Dr. Richard M. Laws y contribuciones al epilogo del agronomo Dr. Norman Borlaug. Con su modo de abordar el alejamiento de la naturaleza, la superpoblacion y el estres, asi como la perdida del sentido comun, este retrato fundamental esta tan vigente hoy, en medio de crecientes crisis ambientales, como lo estuvo hace medio siglo.
