Text in English, French & German. How beautiful are these pilose vulvas that are natural and hairy and not shaven bald. I feel happy whenever I see something beautiful. Many past cultures worshipped vulvas. And its no small wonder that today, vulvas have started again to unfold their magical charms, at least within the world of fine art. So it is that Paramonov''s "angels" appear unashamed of their hairiness, act rather proud of their unshaven, natural beauty.

Issue 12 of Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari's accessible image-based artists' magazine that challenges the limits of the contemporary art economyToilet Paper is an artists' magazine created and produced by Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari, born out of a passion or obsession they both cultivate: images. The magazine contains no text; each picture springs from an idea, often simple, and through a complex orchestration of people it becomes the materialization of the artists' mental outbursts. Since the first issue in June 2010, Toilet Paper has created a world that displays ambiguous narratives and a troubling imagination. It combines the vernacular of commercial photography with twisted narrative tableaux and surrealistic imagery.

The final word on music's greatest legend, in which Philip Norman reveals a John Lennon the world has never seen. With ground-breaking insight into the pain, beauty and frustration that shaped the genius of modern music, John Lennon: The Definitive Biography redefines a legend.John Lennon - the iconic songwriter, composer and one quarter of The Beatles - was a giant of the twentieth century. As the founding member of the world's most successful group ever, he changed lives. The popularity and significance of The Beatles is beyond comparison in our age - in the UK alone, they released more than 40 number one singles and albums.But their impact extended well beyond their music. Their clothes, hairstyles, statements, and even their choice of instruments made them trend-setters from the 1960s to this day, while their growing social awareness - reflected in the development of their music - saw their influence extend into the social and cultural revolutions of the 1960s.Following the painful collapse of The Beatles, John came out a wiser but angrier person. Together with his wife Yoko Ono, he attempted to transform the world through non-musical means. Their bed-in in Amsterdam and Montreal, their black bag appearances on stage, their innocent flirting with political activists and radicals, all received massive media attention. These events were in search of world peace.John Lennon was shot dead by a mentally disturbed fan outside his New York apartment building on December 8, 1980.Featuring previously unseen photographs, this truly is the definitive John Lennon.

One afternoon in 1975, a young photographer named Hugh Holland drove up Laurel Canyon Boulevard in Los Angeles and encountered skateboarders carving up the drainage ditches along the side of the canyon. Immediately transfixed by their grace and athleticism, he knew he had found an amazing subject. Although not a skateboarder himself, for the next three years Holland never tired of documenting skateboarders surfing the streets of Los Angeles, parts of the San Fernando Valley, Venice Beach, and as far away as San Francisco and Baja California, Mexico.During the mid-1970s, Southern California was experiencing a serious drought, leaving an abundance of empty swimming pools available for trespassing skateboarders to practice their tricks. From these suburban backyard haunts to the asphalt streets that connected them, this was the place that created the legendary Dogtown and Z-Boys skateboarders. With their requisite bleached blonde hair, tanned bodies, tube socks and Vans, these young outsiders are masterfully captured against a sometimes harsh but always sunny Southern California landscape in LOCALS ONLY.Holland's skateboard photographs were first shown at M+B Gallery in Los Angeles in 2006. Following the success of the show, his work has been shown in Paris and New York City and used in American Apparel publicity campaigns. Holland resides in Los Angeles.

Et udvalg af Lars Gundersens bedste portrætfotografier gennem 30 år af bl.a. kunstnere, musikere og forfattere fra ind- og udland, suppleret af tekster af Morten Søndergaard, Kristina Stoltz, Hilde Susan Jægtnes og Magne Furuhomen, og med forord af Jens Blendstrup."Denne bog samler et væsentligt udvalg af Lars Gundersens portrætfotografier. Lars Gundersen har siden 1980’erne portrætteret individer, der på den ene eller anden måde udfolder sig kunstnerisk og skabende, og som i mødet med hans blik og metode træder tydeligt frem i netop deres særegenhed, menneskelighed og individualitet. Det er et blik og en metode, der ikke lægger til, der ikke dramatiserer og instruerer, nærmere skræller af, det går direkte til sagen, til ansigtets intensitet og udstråling, dets særlige væsen og væsentlighed, dets mystik. Det fanger ansigtet præcist, det fremstiller det nøgternt, dragende, det kan tage timer at forlade et billede, det kan være svært ikke straks at vende tilbage igen."Christel Wiinblad, 2015

Det er ikke altid let at finde hjem. Omvendt er det nemt at genkende følelsen af at være hjemme, når man mærker den i kroppen. Igennem tre år har jeg fotograferet interiører med det blik at undersøge det hjemlige og skabe fortrolighed med de rum, jeg har befundet mig i. Når blikket møder rummet, opstår en genkendelighed. Man genkender tingene og deres placeringer i rummet, dets organisering, og aflæser det som et hjem. Hjemmet er den ramme, jeg er vokset op i, og hjemmet er det første sted, jeg skaber omkring mig, når jeg etablerer mit eget sted.Fornemmelsen af at være hjemme kan derimod opstå mange steder. I andres hjem, på hotelværelser, fra ferier, sommerhuse. Også steder, man ikke selv har været, kan vække følelsen af hjemlighed; scenografier i film og på tv, i malerier fra tidligere århundreder. Billeder af rumlige erindringer lagres i hukommelsen. Lag på lag lægger nye billeder sig oven i de gamle, og arkivet vokser med tiden.

Scott Kelby, forfatter af Bogen om Digital Fotografering, er tilbage med endnu en opfølger til de tidligere storsælgende bind i serien. Denne splinternye bog tager tråden op fra bind 3 og giver dig endnu flere ”Nå, det er sådan, de gør det”-ahaoplevelser. Fif, der ligger lige til højrebenet, er blottede for langhårede, tekniske udredninger, og som du kan få gavn af nu og her – af samme velkendte kaliber, som for længst har gjort denne serie til bestsellers blandt bøger om at fotografere digitalt.

Bogen tager med sine mere end 300 illustrationer læseren med rundt til de fleste egne i Danmark. Fra Fanø til Bornholm og fra Skagen til Kruså. Desuden også et kig nordpå til Færøerne og Grønland. Den giver et øjebliksbillede og beskriver designet, alsidigheden og diversiteten af busstoppesteder, stoppestedsskure og læskærme i Danmark. Fra den simple græsrabat til det aflukkede - og måske opvarmede - venterum.Udover at virke som en samfundsmæssig nødvendighed er stoppestedet også en del af den danske designkultur. Designere/arkitekter som Poul Cadovius, Steen Østergaard, Børge T. Lorentzen, Knud Holscher og Ove Rix har alle givet deres bidrag til ventefaciliteter. Busstoppestedet, som de allerfleste på et eller andet tidspunkt har betjent sig af, har hidtil været en overset størrelse. Det prøver vi at råde bod på med denne bog.

Published as a collection for the first time, these arresting and poetic and images of Northern Ireland reveal a rarely examined facet of the oeuvre of a celebrated twentieth century war photographer. Akihiko Okamura became a renowned war photographer during the first years of the Vietnam war and later, as he documented wars in Biafra and the Middle East. In 1969, he moved from Southeast Asia to Dublin. From there, Okamura traveled frequently to Derry and other parts of Northern Ireland to document the country's "Troubles." This beautifully produced book brings together for the first time Okamura's Irish work, which was almost entirely unpublished before now. Presented in full page plates without text, Okamura's images are imbued with soft, muted colors that contrast with the violence of the situation in which they were conceived.Brimming with feelings of fear, dread, anticipation, and resignation, these images reveal Okamura's humanity and curiosity, his concern with day-to-day existence, and the absurdities, incongruities, and disruptions of life during wartime: women preparing afternoon tea outside bombed rowhouses; girls dressed in their Sunday best leaving flowers at a roadside shrine; a collection of empty milk bottles destined to become incendiary devices. Illuminating essays by renowned photographic historians place this astounding collection in context with Okamura's larger body of work and situate these images within the history of both the medium and the country.

Sebastião Salgados Fotobuch-Klassiker Arbeiter. Zur Archäologie des Industriezeitalters (Erstausgabe 1993) würdigt die traditionellen handwerklichen Arbeitsweisen, während zu Beginn des neuen Jahrtausends überall in der Welt Maschinen und Computer die Arbeit der Menschen übernehmen. Mit Bildern von beeindruckender Schönheit hat Salgado eine visuelle Elegie komponiert, mit der er jene Männer und Frauen ehrt, die sich ihren unbeugsamen Geist und ihre Würde selbst unter härtesten Arbeitsbedingungen bewahren. Mehr als bei jedem anderen lebenden Fotografen sind bei Sebastião Salgado die Bilder von den Vergessenen, den Elenden und den Ausgegrenzten der Welt eine Hommage an die conditio humana. Salgado definiert seine Arbeit als "kämpferische Fotografie", die dem "besseren Verständnis des Menschseins" gewidmet ist. Über Jahrzehnte hinweg hat er in seinen Fotografien den Armen und Entrechteten etwas von der Menschenwürde zurückgegeben, die sie zu verlieren drohten - von den Hungernden in der Sahelzone bis zu den indigenen Völkern Südamerikas. Mit dem Band Arbeiter legt Salgado ein globales Bildepos vor, das über das bloße Abbilden hinausgeht und zu einer Hymne auf den Widerstandsgeist arbeitender Männer und Frauen wird. 350 Duoton-Fotografien eröffnen eine archäologische Perspektive auf diejenigen Tätigkeiten, die von der Steinzeit über die industrielle Revolution bis in unsere Gegenwart als Inbegriff harter Arbeit gelten. Mit Bildern aus dem Inferno einer indonesischen Schwefelmine, von der Dramatik des traditionellen sizilianischen Thunfischfangs und der schwindelerregenden Ausdauer brasilianischer Goldgräber legt Salgado Schichten visueller Informationen frei, um die unermüdliche menschliche Arbeit als Kern der modernen Zivilisation zu enthüllen. Arbeiter präsentiert sein Thema auf mehreren sich gegenseitig durchdringenden Ebenen: Salgados einleitender Text, entstanden in Zusammenarbeit mit dem brasilianischen Schriftsteller Eric Nepomuceno, erläutert seine leidenschaftliche fotografische Ikonografie. Ausführliche Bildunterschriften, die ebenfalls von Salgado stammen, liefern den historischen und faktischen Hintergrund. Das Buch ist eine von Offenheit und Respekt getragene Hommage an diejenigen Menschen, die mit ihren eigenen Händen, mit der Kraft ihres eigenen Körpers arbeiten.
