Die ersten 30 Jahre – Photographie

To mark the 30th anniversary of the founding of the Friedl Kubelka School of Artistic Photography Vienna, a comprehensive commemorative publication is now available. It provides an insight into the structure of this first public school of photography in Austria, the influence of which is undiminished to this day. Anja Manfredi, herself a graduate of the school and its director for the past ten years, invited some 100 fellow attendees of the school, teachers and students, in cooperation with editor Stephanie Stern and designer Elisa Schmid, to contribute essays on the current status quo of artistic photography. 100 phrases by Ruth Horak on the nature of photography and an in-depth interview by Maren Lubbke-Tidow with the school's two protagonists, Friedl Kubelka and Anja Manfredi, make this book an essential compendium on the teaching of photography and artistic practice today.
