About this book

"Seventy pairs of photographs, ranging in date from the earliest days of the medium to the present, document instances where, by direct influence or pure coincidence, two photographers were drawn to identical or very similar subjects. Though alike in content, the photographs within the pairs are strikingly different - unique in their formal and technical details and in the varying perceptions they describe." -- Cover flap.

Katharina Sieverding

[translation, James Gussen, Ian Pepper

Katharina Sieverding entwickelte für das Museum Schloss Moyland eine Ausstellung, die sich aus verschiedenen multimedialen Projektionen und fotografischen Arbeiten von 1968 bis 2013 zu einer umfassenden Installation zusammensetzt. Die Krönung der Ausstellung bildet die Arbeit 'DIE SONNE UM MITTERNACHT SCHAUEN', für die Katharina Sieverding von Mai 2010 bis Juni 2013 kontinuierlich etwa 100.000 visuelle Informationsdaten der NASA herunterlud und zu einem dynamischen Bild der Sonnenoberfläche künstlerisch verdichtete. Eine leuchtend blaue Kugel – mit unaufhörlichen Lichtwechseln in Kratern und über Gebirgen auf der Oberfläche und umgeben von einer hell flammenden Aura – durchschwebt körperhaft den Raum.0Exhibition: Museum Schloss Moyland, Bedburg-Hau, Germany (28.7.-24.11.2013).

Lavish self-divisions

Brenda Daly

Joyce Carol Oates's authorial voice is lavishly diverse. In her works she divides herself into many voices, many persons. This up-to-date examination of Oates's novels argues that the father-identified daughters in her early novels have become, in the novels of the 1980s, self-authoring women who seek alliances with their culturally devalued mothers. Oates's struggle to resist and transform male-defined literary conventions is often mirrored by the struggles of her female characters to resist and transform social conventions.
