Hardcover. White boards with color-photo illustration and black lettering; 251 pp.; richly illustrated. For nearly fifty years, Christian Vogt has been working with photography. His ongoing dialogue with the medium has repeatedly given rise to a new image language, often putting him ahead of his time. "The Longer I Look" is the first monograph to attempt an overview of Vogt's conceptual work, his philosophical inquiries, and his capacity to visualize the "things behind things." The photographs are prefaced by a brief introduction by Vogt himself and complemented by an interview with the photographer by Martin Gasser. -- Rear cover.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - King Stag is a play originally written in 1762 by Italian playwright and champion of commedia dell'arte Carlo Gozzi (1720-1806). It is about love and conspiracy at the court of King Deramo. In search of a bride, Deramo falls victim to the intrigues of his adversary Tartaglia and is temporarily transformed into a stag. In 1918, on the occasion of a major art exhibition staged in Zurich by the modernist association Schweizer Werkbund, Swiss dramatist René Morax (1873-1963) and director Werner Wolff (1886-1972) produced a modern adaption of Gozzi's fairy-tale play that turned it into an amusing Dada parody of Sigmund Freud and Carl Gustav Jung's psychoanalysis, which had caused much controversy in Zurich at the time. The production was conceived as puppetry, for which avant-garde artist Sophie Taeuber-Arp (1889-1943) designed the stage sets and an ensemble of 17 radically abstracted marionettes. Her designs broke with every tradition of the genre and were influenced by her work in fine and applied art, as well as her experience with expressive dance. This book offers the first English translation of Morax and Wolff's adaption of King Stag. The text is supplemented with photographs of Taeuber-Arp's iconic marionettes. Essays by distinguished scholars explore the genesis of the original 1918 production and place it in historical context, shed new light on the play, and highlight its significance for Switzerland's avant-garde. Named one of the Most Beautiful German Books 2026.; König Hirsch, ein 1762 verfasstes Stück des italienischen Theaterdichters Carlo Gozzi (1720-1806), handelt von Liebe und Verschwörung am Hofe von König Deramo. Auf der Suche nach einer Braut fällt Deramo den Intrigen seines Widersachers Tartaglia zum Opfer und wird vorübergehend in einen Hirsch verwandelt. Anlässlich der grossen Werkbund-Ausstellung von 1918 in Zürich schufen der Schweizer Dramatiker René Morax (1873-1963) und der Regisseur Werner Wolff (1886-1972) eine Adaption von Gozzis Märchenspiel als amüsante Dada-Parodie auf Sigmund Freuds und Carl Gustav Jungs Psychoanalyse. Die Inszenierung war als Puppenspiel konzipiert, für das die Avantgarde-Künstlerin Sophie Taeuber-Arp (1889-1943) die Bühnenbilder und ein Ensemble von 17 radikal abstrahierten Marionetten entwarf. Diese brachen mit jeder Tradition des Genres, geprägt durch Taeuber-Arps Schaffen in freier und angewandter Kunst und ihre Erfahrungen im zeitgenössischen Ausdruckstanz. Dieses englischsprachige Buch bietet erstmals den deutschen Originaltext von Morax' und Wolffs König-Hirsch- Adaption, illustriert mit neu aufgenommenen Fotografien von Taeuber-Arps ikonischen Marionetten. Essays renommierter Autor:innen widmen sich der Entstehung des Marionettenstücks von 1918 im historischen Kontext der künstlerischen Schweizer Avantgarde. Ausgezeichnet als eines der Schönsten Deutschen Bücher 2026.…

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Switzerland is home to illustrious explorers of the soul such as Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-78) and Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961). Historically and still today, the small country in the heart of Europe has a higher density of psychiatry and psychoanalytic hotspots than almost any other place in the world. From Geneva to Zurich, from Kreuzlingen, on the shore of Lake Constance, to Monte Verità, near Ascona and the Italian border, a dense network of names and traditions stretches across the map. Switzerland as a psycho-geographic space became a psychoanalytic hub with a global reach. Coinciding with the 150th anniversary of C. G. Jung's birth, this book for the first time contextualizes his thought and influence within the overall history of psychoanalysis in Switzerland. Besides Jung, its protagonists include Ludwig Binswanger, pioneer of the existential 'Daseinsanalysis'; Jean Piaget, best-known for his research of child development; Goldy and Paul Parin-Matthèy and Fritz Morgenthaler, cofounders of the Zurich school of ethno-psychoanalysis; and Judith le Soldat, with her radical feminist Nimbus theory. In Landscapes of the Soul, 12 thematic essays by distinguished authors and a conversation with acclaimed British-Swiss writer and philosopher Alain de Botton are supplemented and put into perspective with key historical texts and artworks, as well as other images and documents, many of them from archives that have so far been virtually inaccessible. ; Die Schweiz ist die Heimat bedeutender Seelensucher wie Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) und Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961). Sie weist historisch und aktuell eine Dichte von Hotspots der Psychiatrie und Psychoanalyse auf wie kaum ein anderes Land. Von Genf bis Zürich, von Kreuzlingen bis zum Monte Verità bei Ascona spannt sich ein dichtes Netz über die Landkarte. So wurde die Schweiz als psycho-geografischer Raum zur Drehscheibe der Psychoanalyse mit weltweiter Ausstrahlung. Anlässlich des 150. Geburtstags von C. G. Jung erscheint dieses englischsprachige Buch, das erstmals das Denken und die Wirkungsmacht Jungs in die gesamte Geschichte der Psyche in der Schweiz einbettet. Zu deren Protagonistinnen und Protagonisten zählen neben Jung unter anderem Ludwig Binswanger mit seiner «Daseinsanalyse», Jean Piaget mit seiner Kinder-Entwicklungspsychologie, Goldy und Paul Parin-Matthèy sowie Fritz Morgenthaler mit der «Ethnopsychoanalyse» in Afrika. 11 thematische Essays sowie ein Interview mit dem britisch-schweizerischen Schriftsteller und Philosophen Alain de Botton werden ergänzt und in Perspektive gesetzt durch historische Schlüsseltexte, Kunstwerke sowie Bildmaterial und Dokumente, viele davon aus bislang kaum zugänglichen Archiven.…

Paperback, 200 pages / seiten, ENG / GER, 285 x 215 x 20 mm, NEW / NEU, illustrations in colour / b/w. ISBN 9783777437590. In 1921/22 +douard Vuillard created a cycle of six paintings for the entrance hall of the Villa Bauer in Basel. Four large-format pictures show exhibition rooms in the Louvre from Antiquity to French Rococo painting. Two overdoors provide an intimate insight into the artist s art collection. The cycle of paintings is of outstanding quality as regards both content and form, but it to date has seldom been examined and exhibited. It was created immediately after the end of the First World War and the re-opening of the Louvre. Vuillard s Louvre pictures are a humanist manifesto for the social importance and responsibility of museums as places that preserve the evidence of human creativity for future generations. 980 g.…
