Franziska Kunze is a scholar of history of art and photography working at London’s Victoria & Albert Museum. Nadine Olonetzky is a Zurichbased freelance writer and critic. Flowers are a perennially popular motif throughout art history. And for good reason: Lush with texture and color, a living bouquet of blooms can be made to communicate much through the masterly brushstrokes of Vincent Van Gogh or Georgia O’Keeffe, in the hands of a skilled ikebana artist, or through the lens of Swiss photographer Anna Halm Schudel. While celebrating the wide variety of shapes and sizes, and the exuberant feats of color that nature and human cultivation have brought us, Schudel is no less fascinated by the process of decay. As the flowers fade, wilt, and wither, she transforms them under water into images of strange, compelling beauty which she combines with a stirring memento mori. Photographs by Andreas Greber Text by Konrad Tobler Hardback 88 pages, 25 color and 8 b/w illustrations 20.5 × 33 cm (8 × 13 in) 978-3-85881-633-7 English / German CHF 49.00 | EUR 48.00 GBP 45.00 | USD 55.00 PHOTOGRAPHY Features three visual essays by Swiss photographic artist Andreas Greber Explores aesthetics and properties of analog photography in the digital age First monographic book on this artist AVAILABLE ISBN 978-3-85881-633-7 Light Scripture 9 783858 816337 Analog Reflections in Photography Andreas Greber lives and works in Bern as a photographer and artist. Konrad Tobler is a freelance publicist and art and architecture critic based in Bern. Light Scripture collects three photo essays by Swiss photographer Andreas Greber. They show simple scenes, such as fragments of a wall, translucent portraits, and wooded landscapes. Yet they are enigmatic and unsettling in that, while visible, their subjects escape the determination of shadow and light. For Greber, this is the essence of photography: inscribing with light. The book takes readers through the artist’s process in the creation of the series, which explores the aesthetics and properties of photography with a special focus on how recent shifts in photography during the digital age call for a revaluation of its classic analog variety.

A Film by Christoph Schaub A sensual and sensing journey through sacred spaces beyond our built world Temporality and age are inherent in every object and creature and, depending on one’s outlook, may transcend to infinity. How can this be imagined? What goes beyond it? Swiss filmmaker Christoph Schaub sets out for a personal journey through time and space. He starts in his childhood, when his fascination with sacred buildings began, and also his wondering about beginnings and ends. In dialogue with architects Peter Zumthor, Peter Märkli, and Álvaro Siza Vieira, artists James Turrell and Cristina Iglesias, and musician Jojo Mayer, Schaub explores the magic of sacred spaces, a term that for him represents much more than just churches. Architecture of Infinity traces spirituality in architecture and fine arts as well as in nature, and even over and above the limits of thought. The lightly floating camera immerses the viewer in somnambulistic images, taking him on a sensual and sensing journey through vast spaces, guiding his eye towards the star-spangled sky’s infinity and the depths of the ocean. Past and present, primeval times and light years, it is all there. Christoph Schaub, born 1958 in Zurich, is one of Switzerland’s most distinguished film directors. Besides of documentaries on various subjects he has also realized many dramas and comedies. New titles 2019–2020 29
