Markus Guschelbauer – Territory
Fotohof 2020 ISBN 9783902993991 Acqn 30892
Pb 22x28cm 192pp col ills £26.75
For Markus Guschelbauer, the landscape is a reference point and a backdrop for his
photographic interventions and stage settings. Guschelbauer's photographs 'are imbued with a
continually reactivating, obsessive urge to find oneself within the ambit of one's personal
background, one's own identity and its place in an apparently indefinable and dreamlike natural
landscape' (Christian Siekmeier). With conceptual verve he succeeds time and again in
showcasing temporary 'plays' on his 'landscape stage' using everyday materials such as plastic
sheets, rags, mirrors, and wooden slats. Through the meticulous artistic act of the photographic
process, they form into autonomous pictorial works and eternal witnesses of a magical play.
Markus Guschelbauer's work monograph offers an insight into an original work that ranges at the
interface between photography, sculpture, performance, and land art.

Peter Schreiner - The Black Triangle
Fotohof 2021 ISBN 9783903334007 Acqn 32071
Pb 22x22cm 376pp col ills £23.50
Text in German
A triangular story, collected views of a strange signifier, houses, walls, streets, doors, cars, the
portrait of a city, or the lengthy and laborious documentation of paths once travelled. Where those
paths led to, and how they were travelled, re-mains unclear. Whether he was following a trail,
searching, exploring or wandering aimlessly and accidentally finding, whether a (self-appointed)
land surveyor conscientiously jotting down his notes or a collector randomly gathering specimens,
ultimately Peter Schreiner chose to present 360 views in order to make the work group The Black
Triangle fully accessible. It is a picture inventory determined in all its parts by the titular figure.
And that's all that can be said about it with any certainty.

Die ersten 30 Jahre – Photographie
Fotohof 2020 ISBN 9783903334038 Acqn 32072
Pb 17x24cm 576pp col ills £26.75
To mark the 30th anniversary of the founding of the Friedl Kubelka School of Artistic Photography
Vienna, a comprehensive commemorative publication is now available. It provides an insight into
the structure of this first public school of photography in Austria, the influence of which is
undiminished to this day. Anja Manfredi, herself a graduate of the school and its director for the
past ten years, invited some 100 fellow attendees of the school, teachers and students, in
cooperation with editor Stephanie Stern and designer Elisa Schmid, to contribute essays on the
current status quo of artistic photography. 100 phrases by Ruth Horak on the nature of
photography and an in-depth interview by Maren Lubbke-Tidow with the school's two
protagonists, Friedl Kubelka and Anja Manfredi, make this book an essential compendium on the
teaching of photography and artistic practice today.

Mafalda Rakos - A Story to Tell, or: Regarding Male Eating Disorders
Fotohof 2020 ISBN 9783903334090 Acqn 32073
Pb 20x27cm 182pp col ills £26.75
"You don't really fit in... You don't into the group of normal people, because you're anorectic. And
you don't with those affected by anorexia, because you're a man." Thomas, 21
The process always started with a conversation. What does it look like, your mental cage? What
do you feel, see, think, hear, taste and smell? And where shall we go to take that picture of it?
For over a year, Mafalda Rakos and Ruben de Theije accompanied eleven men affected by
eating disorders. Through photography, text and drawings made by the protagonists, the authors
aimed on reaching the heart of the men's shocking experiences, revealing vulnerable conflicts
between social expectations and big emotions; the stories they want to tell.

Nadja Bournonville - A worm crossed the street
Fotohof 2020 ISBN 9783903334106 Acqn 32077
Hb 21x29cm 592pp col ills £40.50
With 'A worm crossed the street', Nadja Bournonville takes us into the archives of Vienna's
Natural History Museum, the shelves of which are filled with animals transformed into
dermoplastic exhibits, skeletons and wet preparations, for the most part bent and faded.
Preserved in ethanol, once treated with arsenic, they are under continual scrutiny for insect
infestations. These archived animals are now a mere shadow not only of their former selves, but
often of their entire species.
Research here is driven by the sorting, categorising and classifying of these objects in order to
construct a systematic taxonomy of the animal kingdom. But how does our relationship to the
specimens at the museum as representatives of their species change in an age of declining
biodiversity? With each species that becomes extinct, its genetic information is irrevocably lost,
and the process of disappearance is irreversible. Preservation, photographs, and digital
reanimations cannot halt that process, but merely accompany it, and follow the traces of what has
disappeared. The 377 black-and-white photographs in the book also reference Inger
Christensen's poem Alphabet, laid out in accordance with the Fibonacci sequence, with excerpts
here accompanying the photographs.

Wolfgang Zurborn - Play Time
Fotohof 2021 ISBN 9783903334328 Acqn 32078
Hb 21x28cm 280pp col ills £31.50
With his photographs of a leisure and media culture, Wolfgang Zurborn takes us into an
idiosyncratic, whimsical world of images in which scenes and objects of everyday life seem to be
out of kilter. After his book Karma Driver (Fotohof edition 2018), in Playtime the artist once again
pushes the fragmentation of the image content and tries to break with routine image ideas with
radical cutouts, surprising compositions and unusual perspectives. The photographer dedicates
his book to the filmmaker Jacques Tati, whom he discovered for himself as early as his student
days in the 1980s and whose humorous yet critical view of the everyday world with all its
contradictions is a great source of inspiration for him. For Zurborn, one of the essential parallels
to Tati's film Playtime in his pictorial montages is not so much the obvious punch line, but the
excerpt-like interplay of different pictorial levels. By taking away the context, condensing it
through reflections, window glimpses and juxtapositions, a kind of everyday surrealism emerges.
In the accompanying text booklet, Zurborn conducts a conversation with the American photo critic
Bill Kouwenhoven.

Anna Breit - Teens (in their rooms)
Fotohof 2021 ISBN 9783903334113 Acqn 32080
Pb 21x29cm 64pp col ills £16.25
'Teens (in their rooms)' is photographer Anna Breit's first book. The series of photographs uses
the aesthetic resources of photojournalism to depict teenagers in their rooms. The book begins
with the phrase 'The Kids Are United', a commentary on the counter-culture and a reference also
to the photographer's own youth. In her mostly analogue photographic work, Anna Breit usually
focuses on depicting people from her immediate personal surroundings. But for this series, she
got to know her protagonists out on the street and through social media. Included with the book is
a poster.

Blitzlicht in der Unterwelt
Fotohof 2020 ISBN 9783902993953 Acqn 32081
Pb 21x21cm 168pp col ills £16.25
Text in German
In the 1890s, Father Lambert Karner of the Gottweig Benedictine Abbey in Lower Austria began
exploring caves dating back to the Middle Ages. Emil Wrbata, a graduate of the Vienna
Graphische Lehr- und Versuchsanstalt [Graphic Arts College], took his camera and state-of-the-
art flash equipment along as he accompanied him into the dark and extremely narrow corridors of
these Erdstall tunnels (earthen stables). The subsequent lectures featuring 'full-size' slide
projections enthralled their audiences; a lavish volume with photographs and scientific texts was
published for the community of experts, prompting further studies of the mystery of the Erdstall
tunnels, which remains unsolved to this very day. With his experience of artificial lighting in
difficult conditions, Wrbata was ideally suited for taking photographs at crime scenes. Indeed, he
went on to become the first director of the Police Headquarters' own in-house photo studio in
Vienna, founded in 1898.
Edited by Monika Faber for Photoinstitut Bonartes, Vienna, and Walter Moser for the
Photographic Collection of the Albertina, Vienna.
