Wondering how the Swiss might spend their free time, Swiss photographers Andi Cortellini and Ursula Sprecher set out to encounter different hobbyist groups: a Star Wars fan club, vintage tram society, a pipe smoking club, poodle club, taxidermy society, the Dintefisch ("Squid") Diving Club, and oh-so-typical coffee-cream-lid trading club. No matter what they call themselves—interest group, association, club, clique, or league—the focus in these groups is always on voluntary commitment and the joy of pursuing a common cause or shared idea. The book presents sixty carefully staged portraits of these fascinating sub-culture groups.

Book Description Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - In ihrer Serie Freizeitfreunde porträtieren und inszenieren die Schweizer Fotografen Ursula Sprecher ( (geb. 1970) und Andi Cortellini (geb. 1965) Gruppierungen von Menschen, die sich regelmäà ig im selben Interesse treffen. Wie auch immer sie sich nennen: von Interessengemeinschaft über Verein, Club, Clique oder Liga im Zentrum steht das freiwillige Engagement, die Freude an einer Sache, an einer gemeinsamen Idee. Ihre inszenierten Bilder entstehen an ausgesuchten Orten, zu einer festgelegten Zeit, Szenerien werden aufgebaut und spezifisch mit einer bestimmten Anzahl Mitglieder der Gruppe arrangiert. Die Hauptdarsteller ihrer Gruppenbilder kommen quer aus allen Gesellschaftsschichten, allen Altersklassen, Ethnien und Religionen. Die Bilder sind sorgsam recherchiert und organisiert; die Anzahl der Darsteller und deren Kleidung, die Objekte, Accessoires nichts wird dem Zufall u berlassen. Dabei entstehen ungewohnte, spannende und zum Teil auch irritierende Bilder und Kompositionen. Die Fotoserie wurde international ausgestellt und in zahlreichen Magazinen wie chrismon, Geo, Tageswoche und NZZ publiziert. 132 pp. Deutsch. Seller Inventory # 9783868284331
