Dear Friends of Camera Austria,We are pleased to announce the new issue of Camera Austria with artist's contributions by CALIN DAN, TIMM RAUTERT, SUSAN SILAS and CHRISTINE WÜRMELL. RAINER BELLENBAUM publishes his first essay of the four-part column "Change of Dispositif".
In this series of photos »Helmbrechts walk, 1998 - 2003« SUSAN SILAS documents the route of a death march of 580 Jewish women, walking from Helmbrechts in Bavaria to Prachatice in what was then the Sudetenland at the close of the War in the spring of 1945. Fifty-three years after this event, SILAS re-traced the path of these women. Author BRETT ASHLEY KAPLAN describes how SILAS' »Helmbrechts walk« uncovers the frequent veiling of violence in the traditional representation of landscape. She elucidates how Silas' work questions the potential of the landscape as a scene of amnesia and how, at the same time, she works to liberate the landscape tradition from its aesthetic contamination by Fascist ideology.The contributions in this issue, supplemented by exhibition reviews, book write-ups and eight FORUM contributions from young photographers and artists, offer a range of approaches and positions along with different approaches to reflection and eduction that is, as always, unconventional but necessary for the medium of photography with its wide variety of contexts of use.Yours sincerely,The Camera Austria teamOut now: CAMERA AUSTRIA No. 98---------------------------------------------------------- 116 pages, 146 colour- and 13 bw illustrationsISBN 978-3-900508-67-8Single issue retail prize: EUR 14,00Subscription rates (4 issues / year, postage incl.):Austria: EUR 45,00Europe: EUR 53,00Overseas: EUR 60,00---------------------------------------------------------- Oders and further information:Karin OberhuberT. +43 / (0) 316 / 81 55 500, F. +43 / (0) 316 / 81 55 509E-Mail: [email protected]Online-shop: http://www.fotonet.at/shop/
