Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Contents: Foreword by Omar Khan. 1. Introduction. 2. Photo Peshawar: the catalogue. Photo Peshawar delves into the largely unexplored culture of photography in the Pakistani frontier city of Peshawar from the 1940s to the present day. Photography in Peshawar has historically and culturally found itself caught between the creative and conservative forces of both India and Afghanistan. Variously borne of British rule, the Partition of India, war in neighbouring Afghanistan, the rise of the Taliban, local tribal law, a historical prohibition on image-making in Islam, the practice of purdah (the veiling of females in public), and the regional movie industry, there is a tangible stress between the practice of photography as it is pursued and the culture in which it is lived. With nearly hundred and fifty photographs, each more stunning than the earlier, 'photography as craft is what this splendid volume examines-photography at the living, bleeding intersection of culture, war, frontier and fantasy, the sheer human inventiveness that results from a magnificent and tragic brew of technology and history.'.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Known as the kamra-e-faoree (''instant camera''), Afghanistan is one of the last places on Earth where it has continued to be used by photographers as a way of making a living. Under the Taliban, with the banning of photography, it was even outlawed, forcing photographers to hide or destroy their tools. Spanning decades, from peacetime to war, box camera photography in Afghanistan exists within a more sophisticated photographic history. With the help of dozens of Afghan photographers, this book illustrates the technique and artistry of a visually enthralling photographic culture.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 338 pages : illustrations, Wood Cover with screen print. 'Box Camera NOW offers a unique insight into a new generation of Box Camera photographers working on the street and studios with primarily homemade cameras. These rudimentary tools follow a history of street photographers who worked around the globe in parks and on street corners, creating cheap memorabilia and first-time photographic experiences for the masses. These Box Cameras have many names in different languages Afghan Box Camera, Street Box, Camera Minuteros, Lambe Lambe, Cuban Polaroid, Instant Box, Minuite Camera, Kamra-e-faoree, Ruh Khitch, Foto Agüita etc. The concept is always the same: The camera, mostly home made, is used as an instant camera on the street or in parks to take pictures of clients passing bye. The box is camera and dark room at the same time and uses photographic paper as negative and positive. The photographic history books have largely forgotten these type of photographers as it was the image of the poor and often considered as "cheap" photography by studio owners. Likely by historians as the cameras are individually made and do not follow any form of consecutive construction. Box Camera NOW encompasses 54 photographers from 21 countries around the globe. Each photographer with is own style and adaptation of Box Camera photography. Each one with his own unique ability to turn light and sensitive paper into a memorable object. With images by: Adrien Tache, Alain Paris, Aurélien de Saint André, Barbara Ghidini, Benoit Capponi, Cássia Xavier & Gustavo Falqueiro, Charlotte Guey, Chen Zi Wua, Clément Marion, Conrado Pinamonti, Low CQ, Damien Gautier, Daniel Robinson, Diogo Baptista, Ferdows Faghir, Flo Gales, George Papageorgiou, Gianni De Gregorio, Guillaume Koessler, Hans Zeeldieb, Irwandi, M.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 20x15cm / 54 Pages English & Chinese Introduction Hard cover with padding / Embossed. 'The book presents a record of unseen images from shaming ceremonies held during the Cultural Revolution in Chongqing, China. The prosecuted people depicted in the book were dissidents, intellectuals and opponents of the Communist Party who were publicly punished during the violent period of the late 1960s. Records like these are very rare and have not yet found their way into public discussions in China or internationally. As only official photographers were allowed to document these prosecutions, it is almost impossible to find such images in private albums. This led to the idea to collage the images with Chinese photo albums that were produced in the same period and were widely used by members of the public to keep their memories alive. These kind of albums are often beautifully illustrated with ideas of prosperity and the development of society. The images were given to me by an anonymous person in Chongqing, in 2015. We decided to publish the book with a very basic introduction to the time period in English and Chinese, hoping to provide space for interpreting the images further. Clearly, the Cultural Revolution is not the only violent period that is not found in private photo albums or is still actively suppressed from public discussions by governing powers. Post-World War I & II colonial atrocities, for example, are still hardly to be found in Western history books and very rarely talked about in public. This book is not about facts but rather offers an idea on how to bring impersonal images of violence into a personal space of discussion'.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. Topography of Remembrance reframes the Second World War as a truly global conflict, one whose roots lie not in 1939, but in the Japanese invasion of Manchuria in 1931, and deeper still in centuries of colonial expansion, racial hierarchy and imperial rivalry. The war commonly remembered through European stories of the Holocaust, liberation and reconstruction was a catastrophe that touched every continent and reshaped the entire world. At the heart of the book are ten individual narratives. A Kenyan rifleman in Burma, a Filipina guerrilla, an Indian nurse in Italy, a West African infantryman in France, an African American GI in Europe, a Jewish resistance fighter in North Africa - their stories bring the war's global scale to life, illustrated with maps, photographs and propaganda material of the time. The book makes a clear argument: the genocide and fanaticism of the Second World War were the culmination of a long tradition of colonial violence. Only the war's catastrophic scale made a return to colonial normality impossible, giving rise to decolonisation and fragile new ideas about human rights. Topography of Remembrance is an invitation to step beyond national frames and towards a shared, human understanding of history. As the Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel said, without memory there is no culture, no civilisation, no society and no future.
