A near fine hardcover rare book with near fine DJ. GREEK, ENGLISH"Many things have changed over the past 15 years since the publication of the book, mainly in the life of the Greek farmer. But beyond these changes, the timeless nature, the deep entity of women's existence, the connection, the hugs of yesterday with today remain unaltered. It's the moments of birth, sadness ... It's the look of the girl from Benaki Museum that "marries" with the look of the eternal Aphrodite. Close and long, modern and endless.

Gottingen: Steidl, 2003. First Edition. Essay and editing by Urs Odermatt. Small folio. Black cloth. Fine in Fine dust jacket. Text in German, French and English. With thoroughness and meticulous attention to detail, Swiss police officer Arnold Odermatt photographed automobile accidents on the streets of the Swiss Canton Nidwalden, documenting accident scenes and property damage during his 40-year career. In his photos the drivers have gone and the victims have been removed.

What results from the picture-taking policeman's official work is a selection of melancholic, sometimes funny and always strange atmospheric photos of our mobile society.
