Whoever shows themselves on the beaches of Sardinia also acknowledges those shadowy beings in hiding, lurking behind their cameras. Paparazzi and celebrities are symbiotically intertwined; they produce \"secret images\" in collaboration. Together with Corrado Calvo--one of the most famous paparazzi to date--Italian photographer Armin Linke (born 1966) publishes a selection of sequences from a conglomeration of 80,000 images from the early aughts.\u003cbr\u003eThrough the photographs in this series, a new kind of logic emerges, standing in stark contrast to the images dispersed in mass media; their staged character becomes obvious. Like a comic strip or a film still, the context of the frame only becomes evident in the sequential viewing of the pictures. The photos thus unexpectedly become social documents.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Armin Linke\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 394466938X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783944669380\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Spector Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/27\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Armin Linke","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46451158843647,"sku":"9783944669380","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4d43010f-a44d-4aaf-821f-dc5cf22e3a06.jpg?v=1735876629","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/armin-linke-corrado-calvo-armin-linke-9783944669380","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
