Letting things pass her by and photographing what interested her - that is what makes the portfolio of Austrian photographer Barbara Pflaum (1912–2002) so special. The first woman in photojournalism made a name for herself with her portraits, especially for the weekly press in the 1950s to 1970s.
She always subordinated herself to the subject and waited for her chance without rushing. Barbara Pflaum's composition, irony and humour, as well as her preference for images that explain situations themselves and yet still harbour a mystery, are what make her photographs so interesting even today.

“A wonderfully haunting portrait of an artist.” Edvard Munch (1863–1944) is considered one of the most important artists of the 20th century. In her novel, Tanja Langer delves deep into the painter's psyche. In poetic language, she provides a fascinating and knowledgeable insight into the world of the artist, who explored the most subtle processes of the soul and at the same time invented radical forms.

From documenting both the division and the reunification of Berlin to travel photography and empathetic character studies – Nelly Rau-Häring’ portfolio speaks its own visual language and features a unique style in urban photography. She finds her motifs in people and their worlds, in quiet and unagitated moments beyond the big headlines. With skill and curiosity, she shines a light beneath the surface while preserving the identity of her subjects. She always renders, never exposes. Her photographs teach her viewers the art of seeing as a prerequisite for genuine perception.

“He didn't know that curiosity could be a disease.” The accountant Justus has opened an envelope. It wasn't meant for him. Now his conscience is bothering him and the letter remains under the mattress for weeks. When Justus finally reads it, his life changes and the old one disappears. Ulrike Damm follows Justus' grotesque search for meaning with typographical means and artistic decisions that turn an order that was thought to be certain – called life – into a wonderfully absurdly designed text and this special book.
