Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ein prachtvoller Band und eine Zeitreise: Dies ist die erstmals in Buchform erschienene Schwarz-Weiß-Fotoserie von Christine Turnauer aus dem Jahr 1986. Nordamerikanische indigene Völker reisen tausende von Meilen, um bei den traditionellen Tanzwettbewerben, genannt Powwows, teilzunehmen. Christine Turnauer besuchte sie von Nordalberta bis Südmontana mit ihrem mobilen Studiozelt. So entstanden authentische und außergewöhnliche Porträts. Die Tänzer waren ganz sie selbst ¬ und wenn sie ihre traditionellen Kostüme tragen, wird es zu einem spontanen Ausdruck aus Stolz und innerer Freiheit. Es scheint als hätten sie eine innere Verbindung zu ihren Vorfahren. Was auf den ersten Blick an die Schwarz-Weiß-Fotografien eines Edward S. Curtis und anderer Klassiker der »Indianer«-Porträtfotografien des späten 19. und frühen 20.Jahrhunderts erinnern mag, erfährt bei Turnauer eine neue Sichtweise. Denn die Posen sind nicht von der Fotografin gestellt, sondern der aktiven Beteiligung der Fotografierten entsprungen.

Book excerpt: Christine Turnauer is a seeker, a wanderer between the worlds. She has been interested in the individuality and diversity of people since her childhood. For her, they are “like snowflakes.” We all know what it is like to intuitively understand a person, to comprehend someone at a glance, as lovers do. On her extended journeys Turnauer tries to capture this moment of absolute presence in her photographs. Without artificial lighting and in front of a neutral, preexisting background, each one of her touching black-and-white portraits represents an irrevocable encounter. Occasionally, one also sees the back of a person’s neck, a part of the body that signals vulnerability. Great trust and unconditional mutual respect form both the foundation for Turnauer’s artistic work and the core of the incomparable radiance of her portraits of people from very different cultures.

Download or read book Germans and Indians written by Colin Gordon Calloway and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over three hundred years, the Indian peoples of North America have attracted the interest of diverse segments of German society?missionaries, writers, playwrights, anthropologists, filmmakers, hobbyists and enthusiasts, and even royalty. Today, German scholars continue to be drawn to Indians, as is the German public: tour groups from Germany frequent Plains reservations in the summer, and so-called Indianerclubs, where participants dress up in "authentic" Indian costume, are common. In this fascinating volume, scholars and writers illuminate the longstanding connection between Germans and the Indians. From a range of disciplines and occupations, the contributors probe the historical and cultural roots of the interactions between Germans and Indians and examine how such encounters have been represented in different media over the centuries. Particularly important are reflections and insights by modern Native American writers on this relationship. Of special concern is why such a connection has endured. As the contributors make clear, the encounters between Germans and Indians were also imagined, sometimes as fantasy, sometimes as projection, both resonating deeply with the cultural sensibilities and changing historical circumstances of Germans over the years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive encyclopedia details the close ties between the German-speaking world and the Americas, examining the extensive Germanic cultural and political legacy in the nations of the New World and the equally substantial influence of the Americas on the Germanic nations. From the medical discoveries of Dr. Johann Siegert, surgeon general to Simon Bolivar, to the amazing explorations of the early-19th-century German explorer Alexander von Humboldt, whose South American and Caribbean travels made him one of the most celebrated men in Europe, Germany and the Americas examines both the profound Germanic cultural and political legacy throughout the Americas and the lasting influence of American culture on the German-speaking world. Ever since Baron von Steuben helped create George Washington's army, German Americans have exhibited decisive leadership not only in the military, but also in politics, the arts, and business. Germany and the Americas charts the lasting links between the Germanic world and the nations of the Americas in a comprehensive survey featuring a chronology of key events spanning 400 years of transatlantic history.

Book excerpt: The Hereditary Estate functions as a ten-year retrospective and as a conceptual work of art in its own right. Coburn's work investigates the medium of the family photo album. Frustrated by the lack of images that document the true and sometimes troubling nature of his own familial history, the photographer set out to create a new archive, a potent reminder of the falsity of most family photo albums. Using photographs taken over the last decade and altered Coburn creates a family narrative that is simultaneously beautiful and terrifying.

Download or read book Lines Marks and Drawings written by Craig Allen Subler and published by DelMonico Books. This book was released on 2013 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From distinctive portraits and complex photographic tableaux to YouTube sensations, the work of prominent African photographer Roger Ballen is given a fresh perspective in this volume. For nearly half a century Roger Ballen has been shooting black-and-white film--a member of the last generation to work in that medium. He started his career taking portraits of rural Afrikaaners in their homes and has lately been moving toward more staged sets, and embellishing his photographs with expressionistic graffiti-type drawings. This retrospective book follows the development of line and drawing in Ballen's body of work, which is often characterized by complex interior arrangements of people, animals, and furnishings. In more recent work the artist has come out from behind the camera lens to engage with line more directly--including a luminous series of photographs that began with drawing on glass. Psychologically edgy and seductively beautiful images result. This volume also addresses the use of drawing and line in Ballen's newest work in videography. This astonishing collection reveals the breadth of Ballen's work, which moves fluidly between photography and drawing, harshness and beauty, raw expression and technical prowess.

Book excerpt: Son presents a very personal body of work from Magnum photographer Christopher Anderson, who has earned international acclaim for his documentary work from conflict zones all over the world. Following the birth of his son he stepped away from war photography and his work turned towards an intimate reflection: 'These photographs are an organic response to an experience that is at the same time the most unique and the most universal of experiences: the birth of a child. They are a record of love and a reflection on the seasonal nature of life' - Christopher Anderson
