MONO.POSITION #04: DIARIES

Tuesday, January 24, 2012

Dear Friends,
our first project in 2012 is kind of an unusual one for us, but then again, we feel it’s about time – all too often we get asked about all these ‘other mono’s’: What is mono.graphie? And really, you run a fashion label? Well yes, kind of. Truth is: Our publisher, Kai von Rabenau, [...]

VINTAGE 80S

Tuesday, December 20, 2011

T’is the season of the year-end best of photobook list (good ones here and here), and while it’s tempting to show off one’s eccentric and refined taste, I think it’s nicer to narrow in on something fun (and cheap). I picked up Johnny Stiletto’s Vintage 80s a while back, and cannot be happier. Stiletto’s sly, [...]

NAN GOLDIN: SCOPOPHILIA

Friday, December 9, 2011

Nan Goldin’s incredibly personal and emotionally potent photographs are major signposts in the recent history of photography, and have had an indelible influence on subsequent generations of photographers.

Some/Things is a lush and luxurious [...]

CINEMASCAPES

Monday, November 28, 2011

Prejmer, Romania
We’ve discussed photographers and artists who use Google Street View before, but a novel project that pushes past those previous appropriations, Aaron Hobson’s cinemascapes is worth a look. Hobson isn’t interested in Street View’s potential for reaching documentary truthfulness, or in the bizarre compositions it captures, or in the visual texture of its pixelation; [...]

ARCHITECTURE OF DENSITY

Friday, November 25, 2011

Actually, I’m pretty tired of the usual images of Eastern tiger cities – skyscrapers, people crammed in subways, shoddy alleyways – not that I’m not intrigued like everyone else by the rise of Asia, but I’ve just seen them way too often. No exception to the rule is German but China-based photographer Michael Wolf, who [...]
