This book presents a selection of Oscar Muñoz's rich and multifaceted body of work, in which he has consistently explored the fundamental characteristics of photographic imagery. The passing of time, the whims of history, and the disintegration of the image constitute the core of Muñoz's art, which calls into question the reliability of the photographic medium. His sculptural installations unite the light-sensitive characteristics of photography and moving image with elements such as water, charcoal, drawing, or projections. He ingeniously devises experimental strategies that evoke the transience of the image and its transfiguration in time and space. Muñoz's work is imbued with an otherworldly quality and offers a metaphor for the human condition. Exhibition: Hasselblad Center, Göteborg, Sweden (10.10.2018 - 03.02.2019).

This exhibition presents examples of her major works from the past 25 years, such as the groundbreaking series Mother's and Hiroshima. Throughout her artistic career Ishiuchi Miyako has been dedicated to investigating the traces of history through a unique focus on the textures of skin, objects and garments. Elements like scars, wrinkles, threads and cracks not only bear witness to mortality, trauma, and times past, but they are also powerful markers of bodies, ideas and humanity in the present.

With its generous image ?ow, this book celebrates Daido Moriyama as the 2019 Hasselblad Award winner and his highly influential, lifelong radical and authentic approach to photography. "A Diary" points to his continuous, daily photographic expeditions, resulting in an oeuvre charged with fragments, repetitions, chance and chaos. His production of images is enormous, and whereas some photographs have become iconic and reappear in numerous books and exhibitions, it is always possible to encounter more unknown works. In order to exemplify the long term and wide range impact of Daido Moriyama's photography, this publication not only presents an overview and analysis of his work by Sandra Phillips, but it also includes shorter personal notes from people who has encountered and worked with him over the years: Simon Baker, Mark Holborn, Hervé Chandès, Nick Rhodes and Ishiuchi Miyako.

What is the status and potential of the photo-book? Not only does the photo-book facilitate other means of display and distribution than gallery exhibitions, the book format also allows for challenges of photographys instantaneousness, illusions of movement, and investigations of the photographic language. The photo-book has furthermore been seminal in the distribution of avant-garde conceptual photography, as well as social documentary and political statements. Is the photo-book today mainly a mainstream medium, a collectors item, or a platform for artistic experiments? This collection of essays addresses current phenomenological, technological, and practical possibilities for communicating through photo-books and other visual narratives.

Wolfgang Tillmans' "truth study centre" became a fixed part of his exhibitions ever since he first showed a version of the multi-part tabletop installation in 2005. Often arising from local circumstances and current issues at the time of their creation, the "truth study centre" works mark an endeavour to create a clear view in ever more confusing times. Tillmans observed the paradigm shift that defines politics today early on. The scope and complexity of this project become apparent for the first time through this book, the second we have published, after "manual" in 2007, dedicated to this set of works. Over 320 pages, printed using a high-resolution technique, Tillmans presents an alternative chronology of the present. Far exceeding his original and main medium of photography, he juxtaposes a variety of contrary opinions, statements and comparisons on recurring table formats. The dimensions of the wooden tables, which he designed himself, are not arbitrary: they are built using standard British door panels, 198 cm long, and with one of four different standard widths. This book gives an overview, through lavish reproductions, of this new form of collage, in which picture, text and object "are only kept in place by their own weight". An essay by Thomas McDonough, Professor for Art History at Birmingham University, New York, places Tillmans' project within the context of twentieth-century collage, from Hannah Höch to Robert Rauschenberg. This artist's book, produced in Tillmans' Berlin atelier, includes a Fresnel magnifying glass, making it possible to zoom in on the contents and read even the smallest of printed texts. The largest installation of "truth study centre" to date will be shown in Berlin's Hamburger Bahnhof, beginning November 28, 2015.

The Hasselblad Award 2020 celebrates the influential work of Alfredo Jaar, a multidisciplinary artist with a deep political engagement and a relentless determination to probe and challenge the medium of photography. This book brings together some of his groundbreaking works and includes a new essay by philosopher Jacques Rancière in both English and French. Alfredo Jaar has made significant contributions to the history of photography by addressing the politics that govern the production and circulation of images, showing us the economic and social implications embedded in the act of seeing, as well as our responsibilities as spectators of images.
