Liz Deschenes
Published by Revolver Publishing, Berlin, 2012, 100 pp. (colour & b/w ill.), 16.5 × 22.2 cm, German/English
Price: €22

Produced on the occasion of Liz Deschenes’ exhibition at Secession, Vienna, 7 December – 10 February, 2013.

Liz Deschenes’s photographic oeuvre deals with the conditions of photography and its components, with perception and the correlation to other artistic media, and with the architecture within which her works are shown. Her works allow a self-referential look at the medium, liberated of its functions, taking its own conditions as its theme.

Mark Borthwick
Published by Purple Books, Paris, 2000, 32 pp. (colour & b/w ill.), 11 × 15 cm, English/French
Price: €130

Mark Borthwick belongs to a generation of photographers who, in the 1990s, changed fashion’s imagery. Breaking the conventions of fashion photography, he developed a style that was at once intuitive and personal, integrating elements, props, attitudes, that touch contemporary art, environmental issues, interior and architectural design, and a reverence for clothes as works of art.
