For it is only she who will satisfy me with an issuing forth of bodily fluids. And as her pee begins to spew from her engorged cunt, her laugher breaks the palpable tension. To her this is also fun.

This book offers an unprecedented documentation of our era''s most famous people, including artists, photographers, designers, creators of culture, musicians, actors and architects. Each of these people was present with his or her full energy and enthusiasm when Daniel and Geo Fuchs used a box-like Polaroid camera, which had originally been developed for eye doctors, to produce these creative highlights. The beginning of each session was devoted to the project of taking an extreme close-up of the celebrity''s eye. The next step was to stage a second image, which usually integrated the first portrait of the person''s eye. The resultant photographic artworks are every bit as diverse as are the personalities of the photographed individuals. These portraits accurately reflect the many facets of life: from gorgeous and aesthetic, through crazy and shrill, to desolate and thought-provoking. A representative collection of these fascinating photos is available now in this large-format photo book. Book and slipcase. Text in English, German and French.

Life and death are the themes which have always exerted an incredible fascination on human beings. This trilogy, entitled Conserving -- which includes 'Conserving Fish', 'Conserving Animals' and 'Conserving Humans' -- is a sensitive confrontation with a part of our life that is frequently repressed or treated taboo. Daniel and Geo Fuchs pursue exciting new paths in this photographic work. Their virtuosic use of lighting enables them to breathe new life into specimens, some of which have been conserved in alcohol or formaldehyde for as long as 300 years. The appeal of their photographs derives from the breathtaking beauty of the colours and structures and from a magical expressiveness which invites the viewer to enter hitherto unknown worlds. The images, which recall the enigmatic paintings of Hieronymus Bosch, simultaneously become icons and venerable, reverential objects. For the first time ever, these artistic photographs depict specimens from natural history museums and anatomical collections, many of which have never before been on public display. Daniel and Geo Fuchs rank among the newly discovered stars in the world of contemporary photography. In recent years, they have won international accolades for their projects and exhibitions. The photos in this trilogy are scheduled to be shown at numerous international exhibitions. The photos are especially impressive thanks to the unprecedented brilliance of the colour and the extreme depth of field, which conveys a startlingly three-dimensional impression. International famed photographers Daniel and Geo Fuchs have successfully translated a fascinating theme into a major document in the field of contemporary photography
