Andreas H. Bitesnich - Momentum, Room5Books, 2018, Vienna

 

Hardcover, edition of 500 copies, signed. 35 black & white and 46 color photographs.

"I have been following Andreas H. Bitesnich's work and career for some years now - quite closely in fact, so you might call me biased. I don’t know much about his early years, but he made his name with portrait and nude photography - with his distinct sense and feel for form and light in both fields. The last few years have marked a departure from his earlier works to a more artistic view, mostly of cities (published in his fabulous Deeper shades series). So how best to please fans who have followed either side of his career? Not an easy feat, but Andreas has not only mastered this perfectly in his latest book Momentum, he has extended the range of his photography skills by seamlessly joining those two worlds, as if they had always only ever been one. I’ve become a little bored by the monotony of many new photobooks over the past year or two, but Andreas H. Bitesnich's Momentum has certainly shaken me out of my lethargy…" (Josef Chladek)

“Momentum combines nocturnal street-lit urban landscapes with artificially-lit interiors, providing emotional, cinematic locations for the nude figures – male and female – that seemingly inhabit them.” (Press release)
