More artist’s book than monograph, this volume traces the exciting interplay between Iman Issa’s (b. 1979) objects, photos , text and video.

Lavishly illustrated, Tiffany Chung: indelible traces is the first scholarly monograph to provide a comprehensive introduction to the multi -disciplinary artist’s work over the last 25 years.

The poetry of these mostly small-format sheets is based on structures, autonomous chemical reactions, and the conviction that even a small amount of natural material possesses universal knowledge.  

Desire, eroticism, playing with gender – these qualities in the works of queer artists are not regarded here as external to the creative process, but rather as foundational. By approaching the art through a perspective of queer aesthetics, the aim is to discover the visual worlds of hitherto little-known figures of international Modernism, from Eastern and Western Europe and from North and South America.

The work of the Uzbek artist Bobur Ismoilov (b. 1973, Tashkent) portrays a theatrical world: at times showing costumed individuals, at other times scenes filled with all kinds of figures telling stories that are fairytale-like, mysterious, and surreal.
