Photography Hatje Cantz Verlag | Daniel Josefsohn

In His Recent Work Daniel Josefsohn (1961–2016) Has Man­Aged To Maintain The Precarious Balancing Act Be­Tween Provocation And Humor, Between Irony And Political Incitement With Such Skill That He Is Able To Generate Both A Sense Of Discomfort And Adoration Among Viewers. His Photographs Challenge Our Cus­Tomary Visual Expectations And Seem To Effortlessly Maneuver Between Art And Commerce. After The Leg­Endary Miststück Campaign That He Created For The Mtv Music Channel In The Nineties, Josefsohn Worked For Numerous Magazines And From 2010 On­Ward His Photographs Defined The Publicity Cam­Paigns Of The Volksbühne In Berlin. After Suffering A Stroke In 2012, He Worked With His Partner Karin Müller To Document The Before And After In A Photo Column For The Zeitmagazin—Which Reflected The Contrasts Between Levity And Gravity, The Debased And The Beautiful. In Addition To A Selection Of The Best Photographs Of The Column, This Volume Presents A Cross-Section Of His Entire Work.
