Scheidegger und Spiess AG, Verlag Light Scripture: Analog Reflections in Photography
Light Scripture collects three photo essays by Swiss photographer Andreas Greber. Created over the course of two decades, Greber's photographs show simple scenes, such as fragments of a wall, translucent portraits, and wooded landscapes. Yet they are enigmatic and unsettling in that, while visible, their subjects escape the determination of shadow and light. For Greber, this is the essence of photography: inscribing with light. Presented in a dual English-German edition, Light Scripture brings together thirty-three of Greber's photographs in a beautiful, large-format book. It takes readers through the artist's process in the creation of the series, which explores the aesthetics and properties of photography with a special focus on how recent shifts in photography during the digital age call for a re-evaluation of its classic analogue variety. Greber's photographs are complemented by an essay by art critic Konrad Tobler. Text in English and German.

Scheidegger und Spiess AG, Verlag Silvia Buol: Watercolors and Drawings
Silvia Buol, born 1954, studied fine arts in Basel and contemporary dance in Zurich. From the outset of her career in the 1980s, she has been working in both disciplines. She realises projects at the intersection of dance and performance and as a choreographer. In visual arts, she works mainly in drawing and watercolour and with photography. She merges performative and visual art also in her work as a lecturer at the Academy of Art and Design in Basel. Buol's large-format works on paper reflect her rich experience with space and movement, landscape and nature, becoming and decay. They express the artist's constant dialogue with the movement and volume of her own body as well as with the character and properties of colours, papers, and fabrics she is using. This beautifully manufactured, object-like book features for the first time a selection of some twenty-five series from Silvia Buol's works. The oversized spreads allow for presentation of some works in true size. Essays by scholar and critic Konrad Tobler and by writer Martin Zingg complement the reproductions of these floating drawings and watercolours. Text in English and German.
