The importance of the moment in artistic photography. Can photographs
exist which represent concrete places? In view of the daily flood of
images, this question seems superfluous at first. Only on closer
inspection does the distance between the visual experience of places and
the media images generated from them become apparent. "There is nothing
in this world that does not have a decisive moment," Henri
Cartier-Bresson once stated. The present volume examines this decisive
moment and explores the question of how artistic photography can
describe the gap between spatial reality and photographic image, and
make the present at the time the photograph was taken visible. With
texts by Holger Kube Ventura and works by Viktoria Binschtok, Julian
Faulhaber, Mareike Foecking, Stephanie Kiwitt, Nikolaus Koliusis,
Barbara Probst, and Wolfgang Zurborn.
