Produced on the occasion of Mathias Poledna’s exhibition Fine Important Post War and Contemporary at Galerie Buchholz, Köln, 12 May–18 June, 2022.

For this exhibition, the artist created a new suite of image-based works originating from Cold War era industrial photography. The materiality and visual regimes surrounding everyday and exclusive objects have frequently been at the centre of Poledna’s film installations as well as of auxiliary and independent works produced in a variety of media.

The publication contains poems by René Char which were set to music in Le Marteau Sans Maître by Pierre Boulez.

This book focuses on the extraordinary mythical traditions and ritual practices in a remote community in the Himalayan mountains, studied over a long period of field research by Michael Oppitz. It is the English version of his German original, first published in 1980 by Syndikat Verlag under the title Schamanen im Blinden Land, which has long since been out of print. That book came out in parallel to a film of the same name, today considered a classic. Now appearing in English as Shamans of the Blind Country. A picture book from the Himalaya the new version extends the old by more than a third of the original documentary photographs; it traces the historical changes that have transformed this mountainous region of Nepal over the last four decades in an extensive epilogue; and it suggests a wider context of ritual healing in the Himalaya by appending a selection of early pictures of shamanism in Siberia.

This publication contains the German philosopher Juliane Rebentisch’s seminal text Camp Materialism. Natural History in Jack Smith revised by the author and presented together with a new addendum A note on Camp Ridiculousness.
