Pioneer of color photography: comprehensive overview with unreleased photo material

Haas' most cherished and personal project-originally conceived as an audiovisual slideshow-is recreated here in stunning color that will delight his numerous fans as well as anyone interested in Kodachrome photography. Three decades after its completion, Haas' most personal and least-known project is now available for the first time in this exquisitely produced book. Presented in a clean and spare design, this volume features reproductions of superb quality that allow readers to appreciate his mastery of color, light, and composition, and his ability to capture the mystery of daily life. For this collection Haas drew on images made in all phases of his career from 1952 to 1984, and, despite the title, most of these photographs are not abstract but rather clear, focused, well-exposed images of recognizable surfaces from the observable world around him: crumbling paint, graphic road markings, fabric, liquids, detritus, decay, and torn posters. David Campany's eloquent introductory essay lays the groundwork for a deep appreciation of the slideshow which, in book form, can be savored and understood in an entirely new way.

Das fotografische Bild ist erfu¿llt von Stille. Keine Bewegung, kein Geräusch, keine Zeit. Aber was passiert, wenn eines dieser fehlenden Elemente hinzugefu¿gt wird? The Still Point of the Turning World fokussiert auf jenen seltenen Moment, in dem sich ein Fotograf dem Film zuwendet oder eine Videoku¿nstlerin der Fotografie. Welche Art von Schönheit findet sich an der Grenze zwischen den beiden Medien?Dieses Foto-Film-Buch erscheint parallel zu einer Ausstellung des FOMU, Antwerpen, nimmt aber in der Debatte eine eigene Position ein. Der Band präsentiert 24 Ku¿nstler, die fotografische und filmische Werke kombinieren, und enthält Essays von David Campany and Joachim Naudts.Künstler:Morten Barker (DK), Dirk Braeckman (BE), Henri Cartier-Bresson (FR), David Claerbout (BE),Manon de Boer (NL), Jason Dee (UK), Nir Evron (IL), Mekhitar Garabedian (BE/SY), Geert Goiris (BE), Paul Graham (UK), Guido Guidi (IT), Mark Lewis (CA), Louis Lumière (FR), Duane Michals (US), Eadweard Muybridge (UK), Mark Neville (UK), Lisa Oppenheim (US), Raqs Media Collective (IN), John Smith (UK), John Stezaker (UK), Hiroshi Sugimoto (JP), Ana Torfs (BE), Michiel van Bakel (NL), Jeff Wall (CA)
