Sissa Marquardt und Markus Schmölz wurden beide in München geboren. In ihrer Arbeit als Fotokünstler sind sie stark beeinflußt von den Strömungen der sechziger Jahre, Pop Art, Op Art aber auch von allen Formen von Street Art. Sie kamen in den späten achziger Jahren das erste Mal nach New York und seitdem jährlich und immer länger, und teilen heute ihre Zeit zwischen München, Berlin und New York. Die Arbeiten aus diesem Buch werden 2009 in der Gallery onetwentyeight in New York gezeigt. Das vorliegende Buch ist ihr sechster Bildband. |

This photo book finds its place in the vicinity of architecture, urbanism and fusion street art, documenting the vanishing and reinventing of a metropolis. The photographs were taken during endless strolls in the last 20 years, from the end of downtown jungle years to the present day. This resulted in a highly complex visual puzzle made of associations and images of not only culturally definded and seemingly familiar spaces but also, and not least of all, of no-lands, fringe and in-between areas. This unique view on New York City describes feelings as much as objects, far beyond the ubiquitous clichés of central Manhattan. 350 colour photographs, 204 pages, 8.26”x5.82”, lined hardcover, with an essay by Arthur Nersesian, ISBN 9783-930677-20-7, #2037, EUR 29.90 |

“Great! Like in the movie classics: the myth New York, somehow familiar, yet totally new. And a metapher for human life.” Jürgen Sander,

Was Leute verpassen, die immer in Häusern derselben Hotelkette absteigen, nur um ja keine Überraschung zu erleben, wird in diesem aufwendigen
Bildband gezeigt: Ventilatoren, Durchblicke, Betten, Kleider- bügel, Nachttischlampen, Telefone, Wasch- ecken, Vorhänge und Toiletten mit Witz und Kontrast kombiniert. Dazu erzählen Geschich- ten vom Rattern des Ventilators,
Sex auf rostigen Bettgestellen und der Suche nach dem “richtigen Raum”. |

“None of these rooms are virtual. In them I have slept, eaten, drunk, loved, hated, waited and worked. I was senselessly happy and groundlessly unhappy,
was recovering from diseases and letting psychoses run free. I have killed time and roaches, taken drugs and written letters, I have been roused by flies and overcome by homesickness.” Markus Schmölz on his book HOTEL ROOMS. |
