An artists’ book gathering photographic works by Yair Oelbaum, followed by a note by the artist on his process, from his experiments with a Macro 5 Polaroid camera—a camera originally intended for dental and crime scene photography—to his creation of images of “transient arrangements on an array of surfaces.”
August Sander was a German portrait and documentary photographer. His first book Face of our Time (Antlitz der Zeit) was published in 1929. Sander has been described as “the most important German portrait photographer of the early twentieth century”. His work includes landscape, nature, architecture, and street photography, but he is best known for his portraits, as exemplified by his series People of the 20th Century.

The two photographic series featured in the book, Guys and Blue Flowers, explore the idea of seductive, fragile beauty removed and yet built from hard labour and standardised systems or practices (Yates Norton). This exploration intertwines the technological possibilities and errors of photography, the relationship between bodies and matter, the search for beauty and the subsequent frustration, and, ultimately, desire and the logic that quenches it.
