- First edition. One of 500 copies. In his essay, Joseph Beuys and Photography, Prof. Dr. Eugen Blume examines the role of traditional photography in the creation of Beuys’ oeuvre. He writes, “Black-and-white is one of the most fundamental and significant aesthetic choices within the photographic work on Joseph Beuys…. [It] had a strong sculptural power for [him].” Of Klophaus’ contribution, he acknowledges, “the photographs make clear the epiphanic quality of the work of Joseph Beuys. It is integral to [his] entire work concept that even the “documentation of work” itself thus assumes the character of artwork.... The intuitively grasped, congenial intimacy of her photographs led to a symbiosis of two artists that is unique in art history.” (in: JOSEPH BEUYS “Make the Secrets Productive”.

What is reflected in my perceptual behaviour through the superimposition of associated inner visions, is a development of transformation and investigation. Therefore, real perception, the metamorphosis which every face passes through during the process of per¬ception is I think, the principal theme in Giorgio Ciam's works. I look in the mirror and even now my self portrait is darkening, disappearing and changing. Is my new face nearer or further from my real self? Is visual perception alienation or detachment? The filtering of visual charm through the eyes, through the face, perhaps through memories, desires, hopes, fears. Fears of losing my face, of never being able to get near my face. Can I influence this process of alienation or stop it, if I retain my reflected image?....” (dematteis & maffei 730) euro 70

- First edition of this catalogue/artist book. One of 750 copies. 'Two thin poles (lines) visually connected are placed and designate a location in a space (two lines intersecting a private field of vision). One pole measures the other. One pole always has the same length (height); the length (height) of the second varies within the limits of the first pole. The first pole provides the scale forthe proportional variation of the second pole. The fundamental structure of the art of Peter Downsbrough is then the individual decision about a basic sculptural element (length/height) that can be changed in relation to what cannot be changed: the given length (height) of the first pole. In Downsbrough's books the theme is variation of another abstracted element of sculpture: location (place): a fixed visual sign, two parallel lines, are placed on and within the fixed space of the page. Each place (location) is different and reads, within the continuity of the book as a continued variation. (If the book is seen vertically, the locations can be read as relative to height.) The articulation of an art is always controlled by its own principles: in this case the principle of variation of length (height) in relation to a fixed norm of length. An art can only be read according to its principles.' R. Fuchs. euro 35
