Francesca Allen’s “Konkursas” depicts participants in Lithuania’s Konkursas Pasaulio Ilgaplaukės annual competition for the world’s longest hair. Here hundreds of girls and women with thousands of feet of hair walk the runway and have their lovingly groomed hair measured by gloved judges, before shaking it in a ceremonial finale. Allen’s fascination with ritual and coming-of-age sparked her interest in the contest, one which blends pageantry with folklore and allows the artist to deepen her thoughts on hair within femininity: “Hair influences how we are perceived by others, how professional we appear, our identity, our religion and culture. It plays a huge role in the enactment of self and also our discrimination against others.” The resulting photographs—haunting, funny, slightly surreal—explore the dichotomy between modernity and tradition, obsession and aspiration, and ideas of girl- and womanhood.

This book is the first of many to be printed and published by Steidl in collaboration with Chloé Arts, an initiative driven under the creative direction of Chemena Kamali, embracing Chloé’s legacy of female creativity. Its mission is to celebrate outstanding female talent, nurture emerging artists, and create unexpected interdisciplinary conversations across different fields of the arts.

“Above all, life for a photographer cannot be a matter of indifference. Opinion often consists of a kind of criticism. But criticism can come out of love. It is important to see what is invisible to others—perhaps the look of hope or the look of sadness.”

Am heutigen Geburtstag von Bram Stoker empfehlen wir ganz klar den »Meister«, das vielkopierte und unerreichte Gruselklassiker-Original. Mit seinem »Dracula« hat Stoker den Mythos des Vampirs dem kollektiven Gedächtnis eingeprägt. Der Roman wurde in 45 Sprachen übersetzt, zahlreiche Filme, Serien und Comics entstanden nach seiner Vorlage. Der Graf ist der Antiheld der Populärkultur.
Bram Stokers »Dracula« ist aber viel mehr als eine Vampirgeschichte, in der ein guter Dr. Van Helsing gegen den bösen Fürsten der Finsternis antritt. In diesem frühen Montageroman geben sich die großen Oppositionen des 19. Jahrhunderts ein Stelldichein. Da ringt die Wissenschaft mit dem Glauben, die Empirie mit der Intuition, der Protestantismus mit dem Katholizismus, der Westen mit dem Osten, das Sichtbare mit dem Unsichtbaren. Selbst auf die kommende Frauenemanzipation weist dieser Roman hin, der seine Protagonistinnen nicht auf die Opferrolle beschränkt.
Die Neuübersetzung des Weltklassikers durch Andreas Nohl verbindet literarische Qualität mit höchster Spannung und erzählt unerhört viel über den Aufbruch der Moderne und die Ängste und Abgründe einer Gesellschaft im Wandel. Im Buchhandel und hier: https://tinyurl.com/mrxh9mwd

With his signature gaze—honest, tender, yet always unpredictable—Juergen Teller has famously bridged fashion and contemporary art for decades now, establishing his unique subversive style within popular culture. With over 500 images, Teller’s newest book you are invited, published on the occasion of his solo exhibition at Onassis Ready, Athens, is an extensive collection of his past and present work, exploring familial and universal stories of love, trust, hope, fertility, the environment, politics and religion. The book captures Teller’s ongoing creative evolution, triggered by recent commissions such as photographing Pope Francis visiting a women’s prison during the 2024 Venice Biennale. "you are invited" reveals a deeper intensity to how Teller responds to the world around him, and includes the yet unpublished project “Symposium of Love,” informed by Greek mythology and specifically created for the exhibition and book.

Marina Schwabes Debütroman »Rift«
Ausgezeichnet mit dem Literaturpreis der Jürgen Ponto-Stiftung

Fünfzehn Dollar. Das ist das Tagesbudget der Geschwister Zuzanna und Janko, als sie in die USA fliegen. Sie wollen einen gemeinsamen Kindheitstraum verwirklichen und den Pazifik sehen. Zuzanna weiß, dass der Roadtrip Jankos letzte Reise sein wird. Seine Krankheit bremst das Fortkommen der beiden und ist gleichzeitig ihr stärkster Antrieb. Sie durchfahren Orte, an denen die Natur ihre Prozesse unerbittlich vollzieht. Sie bereiten sich auf einen Tornado vor, betreten karges Land, ein Vulkanausbruch hinterlässt seine Spuren. Als Geologin sind Zuzanna diese Vorgänge vertraut, nicht aber die Veränderungen in ihrem Bruder. Mit viel Zuneigung und Geduld versucht sie herauszufinden, was es bedeutet, wenn ein geliebter Mensch vergeht.

»Ein leiser, entschleunigter und hochliterarischer Roman mit durchweg stimmigen und nie überfrachteten Bildern. Trotz des Themas und unausweichlichen Endes zuversichtlich, tröstend und lebensbejahend. Ein kleines, bescheidenes Meisterwerk.« ―Frank Schorneck, Culturmag

Published on the occasion of a major solo exhibition at Jeu de Paume, Paris, “Catalogue Raisonné 2001-2025” encompasses 25 years of the photographic œuvre of Luc Delahaye. Including all works Delahaye produced between 2001 and 2025, the book covers the decisive period in which he increasingly distanced himself from war photojournalism in the 1990s and committed himself to the field of art. From Delahaye’s early photographic tableaux to those composed on computer or staged, as well as his polyptychs, series and videos-stills, these images offer a restrained yet powerful account of our troubled, turbulent world. This catalogue raisonné offers a comprehensive framework to trace the evolution of Delahaye’s methods and themes, identifying distinct periods and examining the rigorous processes by which he draws the cartography of contemporary times. A variety of texts and an in-depth interview with the artist provide insight to Delahaye’s elusive body of work—one that reflects on presence in the representation of the real, on history, memory, violence, and our responsibility as viewers. Co-published with Jeu de Paume, Paris, and Photo Élysée, Lausanne.
