Osmanische Holzhäuser säumen barocke Stadtpalais, westliche Einkaufskultur und europäischer Fortschritt mischt sich unter orientalische Tradition. Istanbuls Vielfalt zeigt dieser Band in einer eindrucksvollen Bildwelt, die durch ungewöhnliche Momentaufnahmen und Darstellungen legendärer Sehenswürdigkeiten die Phantasie des Betrachters beflügelt. Dabei begleitet der Leser den Archäologen Walter, der sich in Istanbul einer beruflichen und emotionalen Herausforderung stellt. Dort trifft dieser auf den türkischen Jungen Çem, der ihm nicht nur die Sehenswürdigkeiten zeigt, sondern auch dazu beiträgt, seinem Leben einen neuen Sinn zu verleihen. Ottoman-era wooden houses rub shoulders with baroque palaces; Western shopping culture and European progress merge with oriental tradition. This volume illustrates Istanbul’s rich diversity in an impressive pictorial world, igniting the viewer’s imagination with remarkable snapshots of daily life in the city and striking images of legendary sights. At the same time, the reader follows archeologist Walter, who has taken on a professional and emotional challenge by moving to Istanbul. There, he meets a Turkish boy, Çem, who not only shows him the sights of the city but also helps give his life new meaning.

Die ungewöhnlichen Fotografien dieses Bildbandes zeichnen sich durch eine andersartige Sichtweise der legendären Sehenswürdigkeiten Barcelonas, wie auch der scheinbar unbehelligten Blickwinkel dieser vielseitigen Metropole aus. Durch sein ungewöhnliches Gespür für Lichtspiel, Formensprache und Bildaufbau, gelingt es dem Fotografen Bernd Rücker Architektur und Stadtszenerie in 324 emotionalen Bildern auf nie da gewesene Weise festzuhalten. Begleitet wird diese visuelle Entdeckungsreise von einer feinsinnigen Erzählung über F. – dem namenlosen Helden der Geschichte – auf der Suche nach seiner Identität. The extraordinary photographs in this book present, thanks to their unique execution, legendary places in Barcelona and apparently undisturbed corners of this multi-faceted metropolis. Thanks to his extraordinary instinct for locating the play of light, the language of forms and composition, photographer Bernd Rücker succeeds in uniquely immortalizing the architecture and scenery of the city in 324 moving photographs. A subtle narration about F., the nameless hero of the story, and his search to recover his identity accompanies this trip of visual discovery.
