In his internationally acclaimed debut publication Snow, he took viewers by surprise with a compelling visual metaphysics of snow as the exploration of a psychological state. After exhibitions in London, New york, Bilbao, and Tokyo, Flechtner is now free to pursue a new passion, the unbridled color and movement of organic nature, which he examines with lyrical lightness and tremendous precision in these densely atmospheric studies of plants. As a photographer, Flechtner goes in search of the essence of nature, abandoning the ostensible safety of distance and allowing proximity and for the first time also movement. In Thomas Flechtner’s photographs, snow becomes a metaphor for timelessness, stillness, peace, distance, and loneliness. Both civilization and the untouched countryside succumb to the gentle weight of this element. These images make the viewer long for silence and transparency. “Thomas flechtner is a nomad, wanderer and walker, in fact, a loner. he captures pure beautyon quasi-solipsistic quests for prey: ice-crystals of photography, poems from water and air.” Neue Zürcher Zeitung Forests, according to folklore, are places of mystery and fear the haunts of fierce animals and fiercer men. yet for our ancestors the forests were sources of food and fuel, managed spaces. In the forests of Wales and Vermont the photographer Pete Davis has been exploring the dichotomy in forest fact and fable for over a decade, marking the changes worked by time, weather and human intervention. Klaus Merkel ThE rEADIng Of TIME In ThE TEXT Of nATurE Design: Integral Lars Müller 24 × 30 cm, 9 × 11 ¾ in, 96 pages 84 photographs, hardcover 2000, ISBN 978-3-907044-97-1 English 1997, ISBN 978-3-907044-40-7 German EUR 25.– GBP 25.– USD / CAD 38.– Klaus Merkel ALBuM Of STOnES Design: Integral Lars Müller 24 × 30 cm, 9 × 11 ¾ in, 160 pages 110 photographs, hardcover 2005, ISBN 978-3-03778-058-9 English 2005, ISBN 978-3-03778-062-6 German EUR 25.– GBP 23.– USD / CAD 38.– Luciano rigolini whAT yOu SEE Edited by the fotostiftung Schweiz With an essay by Peter Pfrunder Design: Integral Lars Müller 12 × 16 cm, 4 ¾ × 6 ¼ in 160 pages, 107 photographs hardcover 2008, ISBN 978-3-03778-139-5 German/English/French/Japanese EUR 25.– GBP 20.– USD / CAD 35.– Klaus Merkel’s coupled photo graphs mirror the physical and spiritual patterns of both natural and architectural structures. They demonstrate fundamental and uni versal formal laws in their compelling revelation of inseparably intertwined nature and culture. The pictures are grouped according to such themes as Stratification, The Crystalline, The Vegetative, and Outer World and Inner World. The photographer and artist Klaus Merkel searches for — and record in striking black-andwhite photographs — structures in nature and architecture that, no matter where they are, exhibit over lapping patterns and con figurations, significant deviations and parallels, and resonate in juxtaposition. In this extension of that program, he has turned his attention to stones and rock landscapes and their patterns. It is a process that he insists takes patience, sometimes years, both in allowing the force of the photograph to make itself felt over time and in seeking the perfect pair, the photograph that will reverberate with another in tandem. The photographer and artist Luciano Rigolini demonstrates that anonymous snapshots, freed from their context, can convey a visual experience. Rigolini pieces together his findings to create a new work – a grammar of seeing and perception. Consciously or unconsciously, we become primarily aware of form and structure in the snapshots, and content of the images becomes inessential. This results in a fascinating aesthetic play that questions our habits of seeing. In this arranged sequence the photographs can no longer be read as simply likenesses of reality. 60 Photography 61

On their journey, they photographed the landscape as well as the border posts with their soldiers and their refugees seized at the frontier, and documented a reality defined in faraway Strasbourg, Brussels, and elsewhere. Explanatory maps and satellite images are juxtaposed in this book with the striking photographs. Jules Spinatsch was at the World Economic Forum in Davos and New york and also attended the G8 summits at Davos and Evian. But rather than street fighting and handshakes, Jules Spinatsch shows winter nights in Davos, complete with floodlighted barbed wire, containers being used as barricades in Genoa, lonely TV reporters outside broadcast vehicles and sleepy guards in New york. Temporary Discomfort shows people waiting for the big event, which is revealed as meticulously planned down to the last detail. High-population centers of enormous size are springing up in China with dizzying speed. With them comes an increased demand for migrant workers. The photographer Andreas Seibert accompanied the workers in order to document their everyday lives and their work. With its combination of text and images, this volume conveys a unique impression of the scale of this modern migration of peoples. “It’s a thoughtful, sometimes hopeful masterpiece of stolen moments and stunning portraiture.” Monocle wOrLD Of gIVIng Edited by Jeffrey Inaba and C-Lab, Columbia university gSAPP Design: Daniella Spinat, Daniel Koppich 16.5 × 24 cm, 6 ½ × 9 ½ in 256 pages, 120 illustrations softcover 2010, ISBN 978-3-03778-181-4 English EUR 30.– GBP 25.– USD / CAD 45.– ALL wE nEED Edited by holzer Kobler Architekturen and iart interactive 16.5 × 24 cm, 6 ½ × 9 ½ in 271 pages, 255 illustrations softcover 2007, ISBN 978-3-03778-119-7 English/French/German EUR 30.– GBP 23.– USD / CAD 40.– Christina Kleineidam, hans Peter Jost COTTOn wOrLDwIDE Design: Integral Lars Müller with hans Peter Jost 19 × 26 cm, 7 ½ × 10 ¼ in 320 pages, 220 illustrations hardcover 2009, ISBN 978-3-03778-201-9 English 2009, ISBN 978-3-03778-200-2 German EUR 40.– GBP 40.– USD / CAD 60.– The last decade was largely defined by consumption and greed. An untold story, however, is the rise in benevolent giving seen in institutional, public, and private sectors. The geography of aid has also broadened; networks of NGOs now supplement philanthropy and the global operations of official channels. The current recession threatens these support structures, diminishing aid at this critical moment when distress is increasing. World of Giving presents aid’s history as an index of past and current relationships, indicating its indispensable global role in the future. The books point of departure is the ten needs of every person: subsistence, protection, affection, participation, recreation, creativity, understanding, identity, freedom, and transcendence. An extensive collage of texts and images illustrates the needs, supplemented by journalistic and art-historical images and philosophical quotations. Cotton is grown on every continent, in a broad range of environmental conditions, and under widely disparate conditions of production. It is an important raw material for a highly varied and profitable value creation chain, and it is traded on commodities markets throughout the world. Hans Peter Jost has created a photographic portrait of cotton on his trips to India, China, Brazil, America, Uzbekistan, Mali, and Tanzania, documenting the lives and working conditions of cotton farmers and the cultivation, harvesting, processing, and marketing of cotton. Christina Kleineidam, offers background information on the specific problems of the individual countries. 62 Society 63
