Lara Gasparotto
As a youngster Lara Gasparotto started photographing her friends in the natural course of their everyday lives. Presented here is a collection that captures these young people over a period of several years; images of what seem at first sight, trivial moments, engage the viewer’s attention. Moments of chance and intimacy, unpretentiously photographed.

Gasparotto deliberately chooses random images depicting spontaneous life-as-it-happens rather than a polished, posed collection.
Motorsport fanatic Stefan Bogner has now rediscovered the North Loop, capturing its magic forever with his camera. Despite their documentary nature, Bogner’s beautiful images are packed with the emotion and exciting details combined with specific information about the various sections of the track, its contours, the best overtaking opportunities and the right places to apply the brakes. Stefan Bogner is not only a writer and photographer, but also an alpinist, globetrotter and motorsport maniac. In his pictures, sometimes captured from a helicopter, you can feel his passion for, and understanding of, the rhythm of the road and the aesthetic of the asphalt. An evocative photographic journey in two volumes. Volume One is Paradise, a beautiful visual record of Edwin Koo’s travels into one of the most politically controversial places in recent history - the Swat Valley in Pakistan. An introspective journey and a personal reflection on this remote area referred to as “janad” (meaning paradise), this volume documents everyday life in the Swat Valley since the mass exodus of its population (more than two million inhabitants) in 2009. It is a commentary on the fragility of the natural environment and its ecology and testament to the resilience of the human spirit in the face of conflict and loss.
