Summary:
A collaboration between sculptor Olaf Nicolai and photographer Heidi Specker, this artist book poetically captures Nicolai’s intervention during the reconstruction of the Bauhaus Masters’ Houses—once home to Moholy-Nagy, Kandinsky and Klee, among others—in Dessau. Coating the walls with marble dust with varying degrees of granulation to create geometrical patterns, Nicolai produced a subtle relief that responds to the homes changing light conditions. Specker in turn gives the camouflaged surfaces a heightened sense of presence through her photographic renderings that direct the viewer’s gaze to the interplay of contour, surface, space and light. In Nicolai and Specker’s joint publication, an aesthetic intervention in a reconstructed space finds another iteration through the medium of photography in book form. The soft cover and Chinese fold give this elegant artist book and abstract journey through an iconic space a supple, organic feel.OLAF NICOLAI & HEIDI SPECKER

Summary:
A publication by the noted German photo-based artist Heidi Specker, ''Re-Prise'' captures her version of ''Ci-contre'', a photographic work by artist/flaneur Moi Wer, whose almost-forgotten work from 1930s Paris was published by photographic collectors Ann and Jurgen Wilde in 1972. Inspired by his open threedimensional layout system for photography, Specker adapted it for her 2015 installation at the Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich, exactly reproducing the artist's images' dimensions and placement to exhibit her own pictures, which share Wer's aesthetic of sensual subjective images from everyday life.
