"Iconographic images from Berlin are well known and in different tonalities: Sarah Eick now succeeds in the great feat that still demands admiration even from Urberliner:innen who have seen a great many photographs of their hometown: her photos undoubtedly reproduce Berlin motifs, but at the same time they are works of a great, translocal, abstract-poetic quality.<BR> <BR>Peculiarly contextless, almost like UFOs, the familiar buildings and city views appear. Without any form of historicizing or nostalgic pathos, Eick gives them great dignity. "Even a snack booth looks sublime in her work." – Tanja Dückers, writer, publicist and art historian.<BR> <BR>Well-known places, whether Fehrbelliner Platz, Kino International, the water circulation tank at the zoo, the Charité high-rise, the Old Congress Hall or Teufelsberg, are always unpopulated in her work. One has hardly ever seen Berlin like this. This bare representation makes the city appear different.<BR> <BR>Text in English and German.

In 100 Poems, readers will enjoy the most loved and celebrated poems, as well as discovering new favourites.

For instance, every Indian can fit in Kerala if we all lived as densely as the people in northeast Delhi do; 56 mother tongues--and they are all 'Hindi'; almost nobody is unemployed in India after the age of 29. Stats, Stories, and Surprises offers a portrait of India more than seven decades after Independence: where we stand, and where the trends suggest we may be headed.

Die Farbe Weiss spielt in der japanischen Kultur im Allgemeinen wie auch im Werk des Designers Kenya Hara eine besondere Rolle. In seinem neuen Buch '100 Whites', der Fortsetzung seines vorangegangenen Bandes 'Weiss', beschreibt Hara einhundert charakteristische Beispiele für Weiss, wie etwa Schnee, Reis und Wachs. Er legt dar, wie er mit den verschiedenen Erscheinungen von Weiss experimentiert und was sie für seinen Arbeitsprozess bedeuten und ergründet so das Wesen der Farbe, die für Hara Einfachheit und Subtilität symbolisiert. Auf dieser Grundlage untersucht Hara nicht nur die Bedeutung der Farbe für das Design, sondern auch ihre Bedeutung als Philosophie.

Its unilateral orientation toward the street makes BERLIN-WEEKLY a creative intervention into the urban fabric that harnesses the shopwindow format. The book presents 100 selected window installations to illustrate the widely diverse ways in which individual artists have engaged with the venue, time and again transforming the unusually shaped small space.
