Employing the concept of an anarchic organization of cinematic spaces, the author embarks in this volume on a journey toward an imaginary political trope for the cinema of the present - a working principle that aims to form a new way of thinking by destabilizing outdated structures of cinema. ROSA BARBA (*1972, Agrigento, Italy) is an acclaimed artist who works with film. She is the recipient of numerous awards, including the renowned Calder Prize. Her work has been exhibited at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid, the Schirn Kunsthalle, Frankfurt, and the MIT List Visual Arts Center, Cambridge, MA, among others.

For half a century, Angelika Platen has been photographing mainly black and white portraits of artists, including Georg Baselitz, Josef Beuys, Hanne Darboven, Bridget Riley, Marina Abramovic, Katharina Grosse, and Andy Warhol. Platen's third monograph, Meine Frauen (My Women), is the first to gather together the female art scene (in an art world still dominated by men). With her unmistakable character studies as part of her photo series, Platen Artists-taken in studios and galleries-and in a congruence of image and work, the artist devotes herself this time exclusively to female visual artists. Here, she shows an exciting, varied, photographic panorama of over one hundred female artists. With portraits of:Marina Abramovic, Monica Bonvicini, Sophie Calle, Hanne Darboven, Cecilia Edefalk, Isa Genzken, Asta Gröting, Candida Höfer, Roni Horn, Leiko Ikemura, Joan Jonas, Herlinde Koelbl, Marlena Kudlicka, Annie Leibovitz, Julie Mehretu, Anette Messager, Marzia Migliora, Katharina and Pola Sieverding, Rosemarie Trockel, Jorinde Voigt, and others.ANGELIKA PLATEN (*1942, Heidelberg) became the director of the Gunter Sachs Gallery after studying photography in Hamburg. She began working on her evocative, black-and-white portraits in the late 1960s. Today, she has gathered more than a thousand "Platen Artists" to form a fascinating gallery of personalities from half-a-century of living art history.
