Schmuck ist und bleibt eine Säule der Hiphop-Kultur - egal, ob es um diamantenbesetzte "Grillz", überdimensionale "truck style"-Anhänger, bust down-Rolex- und Patek Phillippe-Uhren, oder eine Tiffany-Halskette geht. Der exzessive Bling ist das glitzernde Statement einer kollektiven Identität - kompromisslos, charismatisch und mit viel Street-Smartness.Ice Cold. A Hiphop Jewelry History umspannt die gesamte Geschichte des Hiphop-Schmucks von den 1980ern bis heute - es ist die fantastische Verbindung des Hiphop-Narrativs und seiner Visualisierung. Hunderte von ungewöhnlichen Fotos präsentieren alle wichtigen Hip-hopkünstler und feiern "Ice" als den Ausdruck der Identität und Selbstdarstellung.Nach den Anfängen mit Run-DMCs goldenen adidas-Anhängern und Eric B. & Rakims pompösen Dookie-Ketten und Mercedes-Medaillons entwickelt sich der Hiphop-Schmuck vom Street-Accessoire zu einer boomenden Designkultur. Die Tradition des Schaulaufens erreicht neue Höhepunkte mit Künstlern wie Pharrell Williams, Jay-Z, Gucci Mane, und Cardi B, deren immer exklusiveren Schmuckstücke Motive aus der Popkultur integrieren, unkonventionelle Materialien verwenden und wiederholt auch Kollaborationen mit Künstlern wie Takashi Murakami eingehen.Die Autorin Vikki Tobak zeigt mit vielen Beispielen die Arbeiten von Schmuckpionieren wie Tito Caicedo of Manny's, Eddie Plein, und Jacob the Jeweler bis hin zu neueren Künstlern wie Avianne & Co., Ben Baller/IF & Co., Greg Yuna, Johnny Dang, Eliantte und vielen mehr.Ice Cold ist die umfassende Schau eines schillernden, inspirierenden Stils, zu der die führenden zeitgenössischen Fotografen beitragen: Wolfgang Tillmans, Janette Beckman, Jamel Shabazz, Timothy White, Gillian Laub, David LaChapelle, Danny Clinch, Phil Knott, Raven B. Varona, Al Pereira, Albert Watson und viele andere.Das Vorwort von Slick Rick und Essays von A$AP Ferg, LL COOL J, Kevin "Coach K" Lee und Pierre "P" Thomas von Quality Control Music nehmen uns auf eine sehr persönliche Reise in ihr Schmuck-Universum mit.Ice Cold geht dabei weit über den ostentativen Bling hinaus, um dessen transformative Geschichte zu enthüllen, die sowohl laut als auch stolz ist.

In a world where millions of images are shot at every moment of every day and where fast-paced environments exhaust and stifle creativity, The Mindful Photographer proposes an antidote: slowing down.

Their images are accompanied by quotes, stories and anecdotes to inspire the reader, simultaneously broadening their photographic knowledge and creative perspectives. Putting aside preconceived ideas and the competitive pressures of picture-perfect Instagram posts, the book rewires our relationship to photographic practice as one to be experienced as unconditionally joyful and rewarding. Sophie Howarth's insightful and soothing texts work as a guide to both a mindful approach to photography, and a photographic approach to meditation. Offered in a highly affordable and pocketable format, this will be the must-have companion for anyone seeking the spiritual benefits of creative practice and a more mindful approach to engaging with their world through photography.
