Beate Gütschow
editor: Felix Hoffmann

publisher: Spector
30 x 26.8 cm
264 pages, English/German, 100 b/w images
2025

People on the brink, depopulated areas, desolate villages—it only becomes clear after a second
glance that Beate Gütschow’s photos show protests, reconstruction work after catastrophic
flooding, and the impact of forest fires on villages and landscapes: dystopian events that have
happened in the recent past, and in Central Europe at that. It is not until weeks after the events
that Gütschow arrives in the places concerned. Her long-term photographic studies give rise to
counter-images to set against the usual depictions of disaster.
These are more tranquil images that are emotionally accessible and make it possible for events
to be analyzed. Gütschow is also part of the climate justice movement. Here, she participates in
and records what she finds, documenting actions, occupations, and demonstrations: an interior
perspective in which the photographs combine with diaristic notes to create a composition of
text and images.

Gregor’s richly illustrated book Die Stadt und der Erdkreis (Die Andere Bibliothek), which just appeared in translation as The City and the World (Fitzcarraldo Editions) presents a literary exploration of urban structure, a ‘tentacular’ (The Spectator) blend of travelogue, memoir and theory about the city in the 21st century. The contemporary city appears as an object of the imagination and of desire, a place that, even when it is completely emptied out, serves as a perfect expression of the hypermodern condition in which we live.
Alpha++ Models / rendered lives in global cities

The photography monograph »Alpha++ Models / rendered lives in global cities« portrays the aesthetic of neoliberalism and its political repercussions in the global economic centers amid the jarring dynamic of gleaming tower façades, vast construction sites, cookie-cutter greenspace designs, and neighborhoods threatened by impending demolition and gentrification. The extensive plate section is complemented by essays by Gregor Hens, Carlos Kong, Grégory Salle, Anna Voswinckel, and InYoung Yeo that offer an introduction to Tess’s practice.
