Produced on the occasion of the artist’s exhibition ONYCHOPHORA, held at Valence, Art 3 in November 2010. One day old frogs were placed on photographic paper, to which the artist explains that as on jumps and the image is created, it produces the illusion of a fifth frog as the movement is being recorded.

Born in 1951, Villiger trained in sculpture but discovered photography at the end of the 1970s. From 1981 until her death in 1997 she concentrated on taking photographs of herself. She emphatically believed in the power of the body even though, or rather because, she was already coping with the isolation caused by tuberculosis, which she had contracted at the age of 29. She believed not only in a life lived to excess, but also in the idea that photography can somehow renew the physical self.

With texts by Jean-Christophe Ammann and Niklaus Oberholzer.

Massimo Spada’s photography becomes testimony to, and an opportunity to reflect on, an extraordinarily significant work of architecture: the ‘houses’ of the new town of Longarone, designed by architect Valeriano Pastor immediately after the Vajont Dam disaster. It is a historical experience using photography, a record of reality that conciliates the relationship between individual sensibility and the world, then becoming a recollection, and once again a memory. In this open format document there is a perpetual present, a changing vision, open to continuous reinterpretation and, perhaps, new considerations.

Between 1981 and 1991 Thomas Ruff collected photographs from German newspapers and weeklies, amassing an archive of 2500 images. In 1990 and 1991 he selected 400 images from it, according to entirely subjective criteria, photographed them without captions, and had them reproduced as colour prints in twice their original size.

For this book, Thomas Ruff re-photographed the templates of the Zeitungsfotos series so they could be reproduced in black-and-white on a coloured background. Awarded Most Beautiful Swiss Books 2014.
