Book Launch Michael von Graffenried «alles nur zufall – gegen den strom»

Description

«‹How did this picture come about?› Unfortunately, photographers rarely have the opportunity to answer this question. Because the exciting, interesting, and even hilariously funny stories behind it are revealed by Michael von Graffenried in this book. Many of the images and anecdotes gathered here owe their origin to chance and von Graffenried's quick reactions. Sometimes he subtly influences this chance, of course. Surprised at the situation they find themselves in with their photographer, the celebrities appear in completely unusual ways. This leads to the true rediscovery of many celebrities, about whom one thought one knew everything: from Friedrich Dürrenmatt to Fidel Castro, from Jean Tinguely, Meret Oppenheim to Robert Frank. Michael von Graffenried is also a chronicler of significant societal upheavals in Russia, India, China, Brazil, Syria, Algeria, Cameroon, and the United States. He does not merely play the role of the comfortable follower in organized media crews, as is common today. Instead, he always seeks out people whose lives offer a special access to the events.» Margrit Sprecher Before the conversation with Margrit Sprecher, Michael von Graffenried presents a 'filmic cocktail' compiled by Roland Lanz from 50 years of photographic work.
