Cuny Janssen, the  most remarkable photographer of children in our time  (Freddy Langer), presents in her latest, three-part photo-essay of nature photographs as well as portraits of Amsterdam children; she shows in an inimitable way the intermediate state where naivet  is lost and gives way to knowledge. The natural images of parks and park-like neighborhoods do, surprisingly, not form a true contrast to the fantastic realism of the children's images--overall the images in the book seem like one big dream: bushes in colorful autumn colors, stern children's faces while playing in the fields, while lazing and reading on the sofa, equipped with research equipment or at a theater performance at school. As in Janssen's earlier works, her portraits never seem to be conceived with a particular moment in mind, but rather appear like stills, as frozen images from a movie, which will continue instantly. In this way, the artist, as ever, is able to keep distance and closeness to her and our objects in floating suspense--and this, even though, as Cuny Janssen says, this book was different from her previous projects, insofar as the images are captured in her immediate environment, rather than from other worlds and cultures. \u003ci\u003eThere Was a Child Went Forth\u003c\/i\u003e as a very high-quality photo book is the sixth volume in the ten-year collaboration between artist and publisher.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50104706924817,"sku":"CIN0978521064VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50141506928913,"sku":"CIN0978521064G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0978521064.jpg?v=1751012994"},{"product_id":"the-middle-school-student-s-guide-to-ruling-the-world-book-tween-publishing-9780978521004","title":"The Middle School Student's Guide to Ruling the World!","description":"\u003cb\u003eThe photographic ready-made\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003eMemory and its use as historiography is a central theme in Dani Gal's (* 1975) work. Since 2005, the artist has compiled a large archive of historical vinyl records; he combines these sound documents in his installations and performances--often collaborations--with electronically generated sound. He initially deconstructs this historical material, puts it in a contemporary context, and reconstructs in this way--by structuring the previously widely scattered material--a layer of the past that would otherwise remain sensorially irretrievable. He thus stimulates our study of history, opening up a truly surprising additional perspective. Dani Gal examines how history, or rather, how its recording is constructed, packaged, presented and consumed; yet, it is not simply about the individual vinyl record as an aesthetic object, but also all the information related to it. In addition to numerous records on World War I and its protagonists ( Hitler spricht , Goebbels, Roosevelt, Churchill, etc.), it is, above all, those American records of the post-war period that stand out in his collection: speeches by Kennedy, Nixon, Jesse Jackson and LP-collections with original recordings from 1967, 1968 and following years. This raises questions about historic events and their medial presentation; Dani Gal immediately creates an ironic distance by nebulizing the analogous semantic cosmos of the spoken language with digital-electronic sound clouds he produces. The book at hand not only documents his work based on meticulous research in the labyrinths of media archives, but rather interweaves--in the actual sense of that word--the source material with pop culture and forms something like a photographic ready-made.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50237924868369,"sku":"CIN0978521005VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50238506369297,"sku":"CIN0978521005G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0978521005.jpg?v=1751140833"},{"product_id":"the-21st-century-student-s-guide-to-study-skills-student-workbook-book-susan-mulcaire-9780983690603","title":"The 21st Century Student's Guide to Study Skills - Student Workbook","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51416803115281,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51416804000017,"sku":"CIN098369060XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/098369060X.jpg?v=1751299729"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-susan-mulcaire.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
