Max Sher’s series “ZHIL-KOM-HOZ” is a warmhearted appreciation of the (office) life in Russian small towns. The acronym “ZHIL-KOM-HOZ” stands for the Russian housing and industrial sector.

“I believe that art is made to explore the world and the culture, to explore the chosen medium, to explore one’s self. It is made to communicate, in the medium’s language, a perception, an observation, an understanding, an emotional or mental state. It is made to answer, or try to answer, questions. It is made for fun. In short, it is made in response to personal needs and demands.”

Meier und Müller, the publishing project for artist books founded by Jörg Colberg and Andrés Marroquín Winkelmann , pushlished their first photo book.
The new book “Conditions” by Andrés Marroquín Winkelmann is available now at Meier und Müller.

“The book examines what it means to choose one’s own way of life. It portrays people who lead a free and independent life, and who have to learn how to cope with freedom, to find their own unique way. ‘Conditions’ shows pictures of people who long to be socially accepted without having to conform, people who are ‘on the road’, searching, hoping and doubting.”

Tim Carpenter’s series “Rehearsals for Departure” is a melancholy road trip in search of beauty within the sadness of everyday life.

Sven Gatter’s images show a great empathy and a keen sense for the mood of the portrayed people. His worth seeing series “Ordinary People” shows people from East Germany in their spare time.
