'Home Is a Foreign Place' by Sandra Knecht – An Artistic Journey into Identity and Home. Exhibition in Basel and Artist's Book published by Hatje Cantz

Swiss conceptual and performance artist Sandra Knecht (*1968 in Zurich) has been exploring the concept of home for over ten years.

It portrays home as a feeling, a place, and a concept, addressing how our understanding of home changes and what significance it holds for human existence.

'Better Days' – Seunggu Kim's Unique Perspective on South Korea's Leisure Culture, Now Released as a High-Quality Coffee Table Book by Kehrer Verlag

In the past 40 years, South Korea's economy has rapidly developed, leading to significant social changes. Despite long working hours, many Koreans take only half of their vacation time, which they often spend at home due to lack of time. At the same time, South Korean society faces the challenge of an aging population, while a strict hierarchy based on age and social status continues to shape the culture. Through his compositions, Seunggu Kim explores the unique vacation culture and urban leisure facilities in South Korea. Focusing on people's adaptability and their need for leisure, he documents the challenges of a country marked by contrasts.

Photographer Alexandra Polina, represented by JULIA WALDMANN, lives close to Steindamm – a street in Hamburg as well-known as Jungfernstieg, Große Freiheit, or Elbchaussee.
