Christian Vogt
Christian Vogt has been working with photography for nearly fifty years. His ongoing dialogue with the medium has repeatedly given rise to a new image language, often putting him ahead of his time. Vogt's work can be regarded as an exploration of vision: for him, an image is always a projection screen, as each observer reacts differently to what is shown. 'Christian Vogt: The Longer I Look' is the first monograph covering the entirety of his oeuvre. Some 350 images offer a comprehensive overview of Vogt's conceptual work, his philosophical inquiries, and his capacity to visualise the 'things behind things'. The book also features a brief introductory essay by Vogt himself and a conversation between the artist and curator Martin Gasser.

A Jew in the New Germany
Henryk Broder, one of the most controversial and engaging writers in Germany today, has been a thorn in the side of the Establishment for thirty years. The son of two Polish Holocaust survivors, Broder is not only a trenchant political critic and observant social essayist but an invaluable chronicler of the Jewish experience in late twentieth-century Germany. This volume collects eighteen of Broder's essays, translated for the first time into English. The first was written in 1979 and the most recent deals with the post-9/11 realities of the war on terrorism, and its effects on the countries of Europe. Other essays address the debate over the construction of a Holocaust memorial in Berlin, the German response to the 1991 Gulf War, the politics of German reunification, and the rise of the new German nationalism. Broder charts the recent evolution of German Jewish relations, using his own outsider status to hold up a mirror to the German people and point out that things have not changed for German Jews as much as non-Jews might think.
