Texte zur zeitgenössischen Fotografie und digitalen Bildkunst
Wolfgang Scheppen et al., Ed., "Migropolis", Hatje Cantz 2009
A workshop of the University of Venice studied working conditions and migration in this city. These two volumes contain diagrams, interviews, stories and a number of photographs. The photographs are afforded more space than usual and are more than mere illustrations. The volumes present a complex view of Venice, in which tourism and commerce play an equally significant role. This publication is comparable to the Koolhaas books and the EndCommercial project; here, too, photography is used to avoid stereotypes about urban life and to force us to take a closer look at this city. The authors and students took the photographs themselves and in the end invited Jörg Koopmann to contribute a few impressions such as the picture on the cover. Harking back to Canaletto, this image shows a gondola transporting four street vendors with stuffed blue garbage bags.

Fabio Barile, "Diary No.0, Things that do not happen", 3/3 2009,
I really enjoyed this small publication from Rome by a pupil of Guido Guidi. The pictures tell nothing about the author, who has photographed his friends with great sensitivity. It is unimportant to me whether the bright, clear and slightly desaturated photographs reflect personal impressions or are playful mannerisms as in the work of Mike Sack. The pictures play on photographic memories, somewhere between Stephen Shore, Rinku Kawauchi, and the masters of Italian colour photography. This economical, elegantly edited, and at the same time brave little book is a perfect receptacle for these images.
