The Festival La Gacilly-Baden Photo is NORTHBOUND! in 2022 – for the fifth time, EDITION LAMMERHUBER is bringing the largest outdoor photo festival in Europe to Baden near Vienna from 9 June to 16 October, 2022

Themed upon NORDWÄRTS!, or ‘northbound’, the outdoor photography festival is dedicated in 2022 to the northern European region of Scandinavia. In a gigantic open-air gallery – featuring 150 large-format photographs in 28 exhibitions along a length of seven kilometers – several of the world’s greatest photographers from the far north are showcasing their fascinating imagery in the parks, gardens and city center of Baden : “With their vast array of photographic approaches – some exploring the harshness of their environment, others the complexity of our modern developments – they do share a common perspective, blended with poetry, a touch of surrealism here and there, but always with the intention of sharpening consciousness for a better understanding of the world of tomorrow,” according to the festival.

NORDWÄRTS! is an opportunity to highlight the creative intuition of artists from northern Europe who have maintained a special connection to the harshness of their homeland ever since the beginnings of photography. For the inhabitants of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden, solitude and the wildness of nature are an essential part of their relationship with the world.

It is, therefore, not surprising that the countries of the north with their economical stability are among the most comfortable nations in which one could possibly live. Paralyzed regularly by frost and cold temperatures, while accustomed to the outdoors, they have developed a centuries-old tradition of political consensus, requiring the disapproval of conflict and the promotion of social development based on the strict preservation of natural resources.

So it’s quite clear how a Swedish teenager like Greta Thunberg was predestined to become the new voice of climate change for the youth of the world: She knows that melting glaciers and icebergs are not all too far from home and that it is all by no means an illusion.

The artists who grant us a very special glimpse of Scandinavia are: Sune Jonsson, Pentti Sammallahti, Tiina Itkonen, Ragnar Axelsson, Tine Poppe, Sanna Kannisto, Erik Johansson, Helena Blomquist, Jonas Bendiksen, Jonathan Nächstrand, and Olivier Morin.

In the second narrative of the festival, two exceptional photographers shed light on the state of our environment: ‘This empty World’ by Nick Brandt is an impressive illustration of a world in which animals, overwhelmed by unbridled human development, have barely enough space to survive. And Mathias Depardon presents in ‘The Tears of the Tigris’ impressive photos of the slow throes of a dying river.

For the first time this year, the festival has a particular focus on female Austrian photographers: Magnum photographer Inge Morath, the doyenne of Austrian photography, Christine de Grancy, and young artist Verena Andrea Prenner with ‘Camping’, a photo project about the unacceptable situation of life in refugee camps.

Lower Austria – constituted as a separate province in 1920 is turning 100-years-old. To celebrate the occasion, Festival La Gacilly-Baden Photo is honoring its home country with two special works depicting how life was back then in old picture postcards … alongside the work by the only 20-year-old artist Gregor Schörg about the region of wilderness in the Dürrenstein-Lassing Valley and the beauty of untouched nature in one of the largest primeval forests in Central Europe.

The festival catalog NORDWÄRTS! has been published by Edition Lammerhuber. German/English; 17 x 23 cm; 272 pages; 123 photos, soft cover; 24.00 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
