Edition Lammerhuber presents 'HYMNE TO THE EARTH' – XL Outdoor Photography Festival La Gacilly-Baden Photo (1 June thru 30 Sept 2019) with 39 exhibitions and 2000 photos in Baden near Vienna

Europe’s largest photographic festival is coming to Baden near Vienna for the second time. Under the slogan HYMN TO THE EARTH, esteemed international photographers will exhibit fascinating visual worlds in a gigantic open-air gallery: 39 exhibitions with 2,000 large-format images—each up to 280 square meters in size—will transform the gardens, lanes and squares of Baden for four months and across 7-kilometers, into a "picture-city". An exciting premiere for Baden is the guest appearance of World Press Photo. Presenting Iconic Images, this exhibition is exclusively curated for Baden’s festival and showcases the legacy of the world’s finest photojournalists. Alongside iconic images, the exhibition Die Beziehung des Menschen zu seiner Umwelt (The Relationship Between People and their Environment) presents a best-of from the Leica Oskar Barnack Awards 2018.

Baden Becomes a World Stage – "Our public spaces are now value-added thanks to the photographic excellence" is how a Baden citizen expressed her enthusiasm for last year’s festival and gets to the heart of its achievements.

For the 15th birthday of the partner festival La Gacilly, the curators chose THE WORLD as the theme to represent this year’s festival. With contemporary photography, it illustrates the state of our earth, its unique beauty as well as the dangers that threaten the blue planet and humanity. The festival’s photographic images range from Thomas Pesquet's impressions of the Earth, which he orbited as an astronaut for 196 days in the International Space Station ISS, to Spike Walker's million-fold magnifications of life, as seen under the microscope.

Across four cycles, the entire program showcases an enthralling pictorial narrative that oscillates between solemn tribute and concern – a hymn to the earth; the poetry of nature; humankind and nature; the threatened planet. "From my spaceship, I had the best possible vantage point to observe the earth," says Thomas Pesquet enthusiastically, "its beauty and treasures, but also its vulnerability."

The Festival la Gacilly-Baden Photo 2019 encourages harmonious living, a peaceful, open attitude towards others, a mindful lifestyle and a social economic model – it astonishes and gives us hope. The festival represents humanity’s desire for peace and does so through artistic and photographic renditions of the world’s pressing environmental concerns alongside celebrations of its beauty.

The photographers : Claudia Andujar, William Albert Allard, Olaf Otto Becker, Philippe Bourseiller, Joséphine Brueder, Sarah Cooper & Nina Gorfer, Stéphane Couturier, Frédéric Delangle, Miquel Dewever-Plana, Édouard Elias, Fotofestival der Schulen, Emil Gataullin, Jean Gaumy, Phil Hatcher-Moore, Chris Jordan, Karen Knorr, Kollektiv Images Sans Frontière, Matjaž Krivic, Landesinnung der Berufsfotografen Niederösterreich, Freddy Langer, Leica Oskar Barnack Award, Gerd Ludwig, Pascal Maitre, Andréa Mantovani, Catalina Martin-Chico, Michael Nichols, Robert und Shana Parkeharrison, Thomas Pesquet, Fausto Podavini, Matthieu Ricard, Jan C. Schlegel, Emanuele Scorcelletti, Brent Stirton, Patrick Tourneboeuf, Laetitia Vancon, Spike Walker, World Press Photo Foundation.

How it all Began and the Future Vision – Jacques Rocher, the current chair of The Yves Rocher Foundation, established this annual photography festival in 2004 in his native village, La Gacilly in Brittany. It has become not only a mecca for photographic art and photojournalism but also an annual pilgrimage for hundreds of thousands of visitors. In 2018 and upon the initiative of photographer and publisher Lois Lammerhuber, the cooperation with Baden near Vienna was born. Alone at the festival’s premiere in Baden, 190,000 visitors were inspired by outstanding photography. The La Gacilly-Baden festival, with its two locations, La Gacilly in Brittany, and Baden near Vienna, is the first pan-European photo festival and, together with more than half a million visitors, the largest open-air festival in Europe.

A top-notch festival program with 46 events over the entire duration of the festival from 1 June to 30 September, 2019 will be accompanied by artist talks, workshops, lectures, theater performances, and exhibition tours.

The festival catalog 'HYMN TO THE EARTH' appears at Edition Lammerhuber; German English; 18 x 24 cm; 260 pages; Softcover; 14.90 euros.

About EDITION LAMMERHUBER
IT’S ALL ABOUT PASSION ...

Dear fans of beautiful and sophisticated books,

“An extraordinary publisher, dedicated to little known themes, who presents them with courage and high quality, without descending into stereotypes.” This is how the jury of the FEP European Book Prize of the Year Awards argued their choice of Edition Lammerhuber for Best Publisher 2017, an accolade also awarded to the publisher from Baden bei Wien in the preceding competitions in 2013 and 2015 of this biennial event.

Present on the book market for more than seven years, with a steadily growing programme, we have worked our way to the top – internationally. Your are best at what you love doing. And we love books, we love photography. The photobook is the ideal medium to combine these loves. Photography documents the world in a very particular way and shapes human memory like no other medium does. Our ambition is twofold: We want to publish books with fascinating themes from art and science, with excellent photography, sophisticated texts and brilliant authors, but, most of all, we want to make books that have something to say, books that transport important themes into the heart of society. For us, a book charged with emotional photography is a point of reference for communication that reverberates far beyond the number of sold copies. We believe that we can  make a real impact with a book. For us, a book is not just a commodity but an incomparable cultural technique.

Edition Lammerhuber wants to be the publisher for writer-photographers, for whom seeing is a vocation and whose ways of seeing the world is a process of insights. A process they are capable of transforming into the immediacy of a photograph, a creative act, initiated and completed within seconds or split seconds. As in the motto of Hungarian photographic artist László Moholy-Nagy, who declared, “Photography is there to make the visible visible.” Edition Lammerhuber strives to be home to the best ‘cyclops’ of our time, legends and new talents alike.  

And how does an Edition Lammerhuber book come about? The theme must be important to us, the photography captivate us, there must be something special, magical, in the pictures. Once a decision has been made to publish, the photographer visits us at our publishing house. We go through the photographic material, determine the format of the book, think about a setting to suit the theme. This is when the almost magical process of designing and layouting starts. It usually takes about a week for the concept to be completed to the point where the work of everyone involved can be browsed on-screen, then it passes on to the next steps in the production.

Our declared aim is to approach a perfect book through a passionate creative process. Craft aspects are an essential part of it and of our publishing philosophy. All production steps up to the printing are done in our house. Our own experts produce the prepress. We really care about the reproduction quality of the photographs, the feel of the printed papers and the quality of the binding. We check every single printing form.

So it is hardly surprising that some reviewers call the books of Edition Lammerhuber pieces of art emanating from a ‘book chamber of marvels’ and that nearly all titles gather awards, including those of the Art Directors Club New York, the Deutsche Fotobuchpreis, the Pictures of the Year International (POYI) Awards, USA, the Visa d’or, France, the FEP European Book Prize of the Year Awards or the World Press Photo. Today our books are available in more than 170 countries, usually published in two, sometimes three, languages.

Exceptional photography is not only found in the books of Edition Lammerhuber but also in a photo competition jointly initiated in Vienna in 2013 by Edition Lammerhuber and the Photographische Gesellschaft. Under the general heading What Does Peace Look Like? , the Alfred Fried Photography Award, worth 10 000 euros, chooses the peace image of the year. Participation in the award has exploded in recent years, confirming the status of photography as a medium for transporting essential socio-political themes. From 2017, a separate competition for the peace image of the year is open to children up to the age of 14.

At the biennial LUMIX Festival in Hannover, the Lammerhuber Photography Award for young photo journalists is presented, with a prize money of 5000 euros. Photography and the photobook are an essential, defining, medium for society and for our publishing house. This is why we believe it is important to encourage young photographic talent.

We would be honoured to see our books available from your bookshops and libraries.

Yours
Silvia Lammerhuber and Lois Lammerhuber
Publisher
