Manipolazione di cultura. Manipulation der Kultur

Item Details

Pollenza-Macerata, La Nuova Foglio, 1976, hard bound

Fine

Large folio, un paginated, 42 plates. Black cloth. Black printed wrappers.

- First edition. One of 1000 copies of this impressive and wonderfully produced artists’ book, entirely composed with photographs taken in Nazi-Germany. Each photograph has a subtitle in Italian and German. Nearly each title starts with an accusative “they”:  they burn books; they know about quality;  they hide their traces... ; they take pictures of everything. A criticism on the use and misuse of the photographic image by the Nazi-regime and at the same time a very strong anti fascist publication.
