Life, Liberty, and the Mummers
ISBN: 9781592135882 / Angielski / Twarda / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Here, in pictures and words, is the life of the Mummers: the bands, the costumes, and the people who dance, perform, and live their lives through their brigades every day of the year. Acclaimed photographer E. A. Kennedy has captured the way Mummery continues its hold on the imagination of Philadelphia, how this tradition has its roots in the city's unique development first as a Swedish, then British city, and the traits Mummery shares with other parade tradtions in the US. Most importantly, Kennedy captures the joy of brigades preparing for the big parade down Broad Street: the practices...

Family Secrets: Acts of Memory and Imagination
ISBN: 9781859844069 / Angielski / Miękka / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Annette Kuhn's work as a theorist of culture has won her a wide reputation for dissecting film and other images in books such as Women's Pictures and The Power of the Image. In Family Secrets, she turns her attention to the deconstruction of pictures closer to home--photographs from her own childhood and images from her shared ethnographic past--to trace a trajectory from personal to collective acts of memory.

Peep Show
ISBN: 9781899235247 / Angielski / Twarda / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 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.

Helmut Newton. a Gun for Hire
ISBN: 9783822846438 / Angielski / Twarda / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The fashion photography of Helmut Newton. Helmut Newton once said, "Some people's photography is an art. Mine is not. If they happen to be exhibited in a gallery or a museum, that's fine. But that's not why I do them. I'm a gun for hire" ("Newsweek", 02/02/04). This prosaic proclamation from one of the 20th century's most celebrated photographers is not a little shocking, but nonetheless firmly positions Newton as the no-frills image-maker that he was. His work is so powerful, so striking, that it defies categorization. In refusing to call his work "art," Newton leaves us free to do so, and...
