ISBN: 9781861890481 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 171 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Swiss photographer Jean Mohr has traveled the globe documenting the lives of the dispossessed, the marginalized and the overlooked for over forty years.

Having recovered, he was inspired to revisit places that had struck him as being at the edge of the world in the course of his long career, places which were remote in terms of both common experience and geographical location.

Peep Show
ISBN: 9781899235247 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Photographed in the red light districts of Paris, Vicky Wetherhill's first book captures the very essence of the peep show - its titillation, its voyeurism, its seedy and secretive nature. This is a world of shadows - of life on the margins - revealed through voluptuously curtained neon-lit doorways, with their strategic gaps and seductive folds. Footprints, shadows and patches of light provide further visual clues of the provocative symbolism at work in these images as even the clientele become anonymous markers of this voyeuristic process.
