{"product_id":"michael-schmidt-michael-schmidt-waffenruhe-9783960983026","title":"Michael Schmidt. Waffenruhe","description":"In contrast to the consciously sober - but far from clinical images of his earlier series, Schmidt uses atmosphere-laden details with high-contrast black-and-white images of cityscapes, details in nature, and portraits in \"Waffenruhe\" to create a subjective, leaden picture of a still-divided city. He no longer deploys the techniques of pure documentation, but brings together surprising combinations of images to express a generation's dystopian sense of life shortly before the fall of the Wall. Schmidt evokes a world of ruptures and absences that eschews a confident, comprehensive point of view. The images work with Schleef's text to create a brusque, entirely individual perspective on the fragility of human existence.The first edition, published in 1987 by the Berlin-based Dirk Nishen Verlag quickly sold out and continues to fetch high prices on the antiquarian book market. Thirty years later, \"Waffenruhe\" is now being reprinted. This artist's book - often included on lists of the most influential photographic books of all time - is once again being made available.","brand":"König, Walther","offers":[{"title":"Used - good","offer_id":53131549770070,"sku":"9783960983026-G","price":69.21,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9783960983026_1_1c28f134-9220-4a05-a150-089cfc8e9e1c.jpg?v=1782324891","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/michael-schmidt-michael-schmidt-waffenruhe-9783960983026","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
