The History of European Photography (1900 – 2000) is an international research project spanning the whole of Europe. The project’s main aim was to publish an encyclopaedia in English, divided into three volumes / periods, volume 1: 1900 - 1938, volume 2: 1939-1970, volume 3: 1971 - 2000. Each volume of the encyclopaedia is organized alphabetically by country. A study on the history of photography in each country is written by an expert on photography from that country. Alongside the main studies, each book contains extensive additional material, biographies of mentioned photographers, and timetables marking cultural, socio-political and technical photographic events in each country for a given period. There are be two types of indices in each book - an index of mentioned photographers and an index of other historical names and subjects. The book was published with a print run of 5000 copies per volume, each of the six volumes containing approximately 600 pages.

NEW!The debut by Zuzana Pustaiová titled One Day Every Day (2022) is an ironic commentary on various social norms impacting our daily lives. Commonplace routine, gender stereotypes, and role-playing (depicted in the book literally as ‚wearing masks‘) are few examples of cultural code, which, on the one hand, bind the society together, but on the other, it imposes the often unwanted social pressure affecting an individual’s freedom. In this book, the artist seeks the boundary where the (otherwise useful) behavioral patterns become pathological. Exploring the intricate relationship between these patterns and broader social phenomena, the book shows deeper layers of institutional limitations conceived by the policy-makers and relayed to the public by the media and via social networks. It brings the reader’s attention to the point that while striving for a better world, one ought not to forget how the individual feels in the realm of all those recommendations, behests and restrictions, imprinted to one’s mind since an early age and while being brought up, only to find that civilizing imperatives often lead to systematic oppression. The idea of rethinking one’s conviction, when it comes to social norms, is further supported by the ‚Leporello‘ layout, allowing for alternative page juxtapositions.

Which are the factors that have created one of the of the leading man of the Sicilian Mafia? How did Jakub Stanek come across this dangerous man in sunny Sicily and how did the idea of encapsulating this unusual encounter in the form of a photo publication come about? This unique experience in which Stanek built a friendly relationship with Giuseppe, made it possible to showcase and build on the image of a criminal, together with the everyday image of a hospitable, friendly, intelligent man who loves his small homeland. The photos are impressions of places, stories heard and people pointed out by »Peppe«. The Sicilian mafia today, Cosa Nostra, is a cleverly camouflaged machine blending into people's daily lives, weakening the state and controlling businesses. Proof of how organised and secretive the organisations structure is, is the fact that for these past 25 years Matteo Messina Denaro – the ringleader, so to speak - has remained a free man, while life on the streets goes on at its own pace, and the people of Sicily seem to pay no attention to the world of deals, patronage and harangues of which they are a part of. Somewhere high in this puzzle is Giuseppe Fontana - Matteo's friend, his right hand, consigliere. He deals his cards prudently and lives a seemingly ordinary life – the life of which this photo-book speaks of.Photographs: Jakub Stanek Text: Jakub Wiechowski Design: Piotr Najar Year: 2017 Hard cover, 118 pages Language: English

„In today’s world, sweating is taboo. Enter “sweat” into any search engine and you’ll find a multitude of ways to remedy it. The huge array of deodorants available commercially is an indication of just how unacceptable sweating is in everyday life. Sweat is embarrassing: a sign of poor hygiene. Body odor is ‘disgusting’. Faces cringe when confronted with it. Even as far back as the Bible, sweat was equated with hardship. When Adam was expelled by God, for example, he was condemned thenceforth to earn his daily bread By the Sweat of His Brow (Genesis 3, 19). Sweat may well owe a good part of its poor reputation to its anti-social stench, but it also has negative connotations due to its association with fear. A sweaty handshake betrays nervousness. When you wake up bathed in sweat at night, it’s more likely due to nightmares or anxiety than to faulty air conditioning. Photographer Reiner Riedler has discovered sweat as an artistic form of expression.Fascinated by the image captured by the sweat on his T-shirt after jogging – like a spontaneous self-portrait – he has used the sweat produced by others to create a series of images. In order to achieve this, he approached the renowned Fraunhofer Institute in Munich which provided him with a special sensory material that could be placed above or underneath his perspiring models. In doing so, Riedler used the sweaty body as a kind of rubber stamp to create life-size negatives. He then photographed these and transformed them into monochrome paper prints.“- Vreni Hockenjos, Excerpt from the book
