Cindy Sherman: Photographic Works 1975-1995 (Schirmer Art Books on Art, Photography & Erotics)
Elisabeth Bronfen

Schirmer/Mosel, 2002

Cindy Sherman?s photographs are almost immediately recognizable. Using herself as the model, she assumes numerous disguises to portray "characters" both fictional and famous, or to reinvent situations both commonplace and extraordinary. The consistency of her form and her adoption of familiar images and icons has earned her work a reputation for accessibility. But Sherman?s popularity in no way detracts from her status as one of her generation?s ...

The perfect coffee table book for the slightly perverse and artistic...
I saw this show when it was in London but I didn't want to fork over sixty pounds for the catalog at the time. Two years later, I track it down here on Amazon and I am very happy I did. The book is wonderful object on its own. It has a thick, padded cover that is very unique and interesting. I have had it sitting on my coffee table for a month now and it has started many stimulating conversations ...

Gregor Schneider: Venice Biennale 2001

Elisabeth Bronfen, Daniel Birnbaum

Hatje Cantz Publishers, 2001

The Uncanny
Gregor Schneider is one the most important artists working in the sculptural field today. This book details his work for the Venice Biennial but is not exclusive to it. We recieve little insight to the personal impetus Schneider has in creating his environments. But I don't think that would be helpful considering the types of works that he creates. I'm just obsessed with artists personal lives. ...

The Knotted Subject

over the top
This is a very detailed analysis of various artists and films etc. Bronfen has done an exhaustive anlysis of Hitchcock's Marnie which seems inaccurate. It is very doubtful that Marnie fulfills the diagnosis of being an hysteric. Marnie would appear to have narcissistic wounds;a narcissitic personality disorder;PTSD, and a quite sever disorder of the Self. . And anyway one wonders how usefu ...

Steidl, 2005

The Depths of Utter Pretentiousness
The completely shallow nature of this collection of abysmal photos is no surprise coming from self-indulgent schlock-meister Teller. But what is far more shocking than its toilet-level content is acclaimed actress Charlotte Rampling's involvement in the cringe-inducing proceedings. This is a career-suicide project causing one to wonder precisely why Ms Rampling would debase herself in such a very ...

Dream and Trauma
Elisabeth Bronfen, Hilary Hatch

Hatje Cantz, 2008

Sigmund Freud defined trauma as "an experience which, within a short period of time, presents the mind with an increase of stimulus too powerful to be dealt with or worked off in the normal way." The subject represses the traumatic experience, which then begins to enter into consciousness through its only other avenue, the dream--or, quite often, the nightmare. In art, psychological pain often finds expression in surrealistic, dream-like or ...

Darkside I
Thomas Seelig, Dominique Braque, ...

Steidl & Partners, 2008

Photography is present in all of the public and private areas of our lives. It is also found in seclusion--where it is "dark," where we shut ourselves off from society or where an act necessarily excludes society. Sexuality--as eroticism, desire, fantasy and fetish--is one of the central drives behind all of man's thoughts, actions and feelings. Frequently though, sexuality is deliberately minimized, relegated to the lowly precinct of simple, ...

Crossmappings: Essays on Visual Culture
Elisabeth Bronfen

Verlag Scheidegger and Spiess, 2009

In "Over Her Dead Body: Death Femininity and the Aesthetic", her much reviewed book published in 1992, Elisabeth Bronfen already wrote on society, literature, art and artists, proving her clear view and her talent for precise analysis. "Crossmappings" collects for the first time a selection of Elisabeth Bronfen's essays on art and visual culture for a wider public. The majority of them has never been published before in English, nearly all of ...

Dietrich Icon

Duke University Press, 2007

Few movie stars have meant as many things to as many different audiences as the iconic Marlene Dietrich. The actress-chanteuse had a career of some seventy years: one that included not only classical Hollywood cinema and the concert hall but also silent film in Weimar Germany, theater, musical comedy, vaudeville, army camp shows, radio, recordings, television, and even the circus. Having renounced and left Nazi Germany, assumed American ...

Dorothy Richardson's Art of Memory: Space, Identity, Text
Elisabeth Bronfen

Manchester University Press, 1999

Dorothy Richardson's novel cycle Pilgrimage , completed in 1938, continues to be marginalized despite the fact that in the past decade several monographs and many articles addressing the issues of gender, genre and modernism have been published. Her work has been recuperated from oblivion primarily as a voice of feminine modernism, but the philosophical underpinnings are still overlooked. Mapping this early modernist text against our postmodern ...

The Endless Enigma: Dalí and the Magicians of Multiple Meaning
Dawn Ades, Stephan Andreae, ...

Hatje Cantz Publishers, 2003

Fascinated by optical phenomena and curious to explore the limits of picture making, painters share a long history of creating visual puzzles, composite pictures with shifting perspectives. Ambiguous images whose various levels of meaning depend entirely on the observer's point of view have drawn more than a few painters' brushes over time. This rich volume is dedicated to that multifarious tradition, from early Indian and Persian miniatures of ...

Eija-Liisa Ahtila
Elisabeth Bronfen, Regis Durand, ...

Hatje Cantz, 2008

In her most recent work, published here for the first time (alongside other select projects), the important Finnish video artist Eija-Liisa Ahtila challenges traditional explanations for Northern European melancholy--instead questioning the concept of "normality" and examining existential, abstract themes such as co-existence and exclusion, childhood and violence, life and death.
