Maria Felixmüller - Glory Days, Self published, 2014, Hamburg/Dresden/Wien

 

Softcover, edition of 300, signed.
Glory Days is a photobook by Maria L. Felixmüller, a Leipzig based artist and photographer. Glory Days got shortlisted for the Dummy Award of the 6th Fotobookfestival Kassel 2013 and now, it is selfpublished by the help of many! Glory Days - a high gloss magazine picture book. The pictures express the coincidental encounters of everyday objects. They are more than they appear when they don't function as they are supposed to. The observation exposes the objects' vulnerability and they seem comical and crazy. Editing followed just one rule: Every page should be a new confronting, confusing view. Out of every juxtaposition results an unexpected association, and repetition of motifs or even color schemes is avoided. The only suspension are some black pages, where the index is hidden. The pictures are all over the pages, right from the first to the last. For the double page it is important to open the book easily, so it comes with american binding.
