Hardcover. GR, Hatje Cantz, 1st, 2000, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Hardcover, pictorial boards, oblong format, 80 pages. The Australian artist Tracey Moffatt is among the most carefully watched younger figures on the international scene. Of Aboriginal descent, Moffatt focuses on themes of the other, the unknown, the outcast, and the marginal. In her photographs and videos, she shows the complex interweaving of human relationships, forged by ethnic, social, and gender differences. Moffatt does not, however, aim to capture reality but to create her own reality. In her photographic work, the past, present, and future of the protagonists seem to gel together into a surreal simultaneity. Text in English and German by Brigitte Reinhardt, Stephan Berg, and Alexander Tolnay. Includes color and black and white illustrations. Clean copy.

Hardcover. New York, Aperture, 1st US, 1997, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, 104 pages. Hardcover with dust jacket. Very clean, unmarked copy with only minor edgewear. Published in Italian in 1955, and now available for the first time in the English language, Un Paese captures in photographs and in spoken testimony the essential experience of daily life in Luzzara. It presents a series of intense portraits, graceful landscapes, and images of everyday objects. Paul Strand's photographs are carefully distilled, deeply powerful; they contain the flavors and the rhythms of an entire culture crystallized in a single village. Zavattini successfully synthesizes text and image, aligning with the new cinematic trend of the day, a movement known as Italian neorealism. Their Luzzara is an ordinary village, neither overly picturesque nor greatly unusual, yet it is a town sustained by a grounded humanity and a profound love for the land by its people.
