Title A name given to the resource SILENT PORTRAITS Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Axel Abdur Rahman Kirchhoff Description An account of the resource SILENT PORTRAITS — Axel Kirchhoff What becomes visible when a person turns inward? In SILENT PORTRAITS, Axel Kirchhoff explores this question through 122 black-and-white portraits of 66 practitioners from more than 27 contemplative traditions. The portraits look beyond outward identity to explore what is revealed in moments of stillness. At the heart of the project are opening up, recognising and letting go. Accompanied by 66 personal quotations, the photographs invite close attention to each person’s presence and individuality—and leave space for the viewer’s own reflection. Rather than explaining the inner world, SILENT PORTRAITS invites us to look closely at what lies beyond words. Published by Seltmann Publishers, this German–English hardcover combines approximately 320 pages of photography and text with design by Roland Stieger of TGG and printing by Niedermann Druck in St. Gallen. A book for readers drawn to portrait photography, contemplative practice and the quiet complexity of human expression. Explore the book and purchase your copy at www.silent-portraits.ch.

Title A name given to the resource Ruud Van Empel - Photoworks 1995-2010 2354.POR.EMPEL Subject The topic of the resource 100 Description An account of the resource Exhibition catalogue from the Groninger Museum on the works of Ruud van Empel (b. 1958). Van Empel has developed a unique working method within digital photography. The images he compiles display a paradisiacal world that never existed in the form shown. This world is populated by children and dreamy adolescents as a personification of innocence, which is one of the most important themes of Van Empel's work. But innocence is always vulnerable, and the longing for paradise is an all-too-human illusion that will be disturbed sooner or later. From hundreds of fragments adopted from digital photos, Van Empel compiles new images that seem very life-like and realistic, but also conjure up a world that has never existed. Essays by Deborah Klochko, Oscar van den Boogaard, and Ruud Schenk.

He sequenced these photographs to understand them better and construct a portrait in absence of firsthand stories. By pairing them with his own work, he aims to showcase how a home can change both physically and emotionally, and to animate the stagnant feeling when one partner passes before the other. The project ended as abruptly as it began, but it served as an exercise in patience and the acceptance of loss.

Title A name given to the resource Our Lockdown Garden Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Ruth Toda-Nation Description An account of the resource Our Lockdown Garden is a photographic monograph by documentary photographer Ruth Toda-Nation, giving an insight into the lives of our most senior citizens during the COVID-19 pandemic year. Toda-Nation presents a series of socially distanced portraits and interviews made in collaboration with octogenarians and nonagenarians — members of the silent generation — in the garden of a sheltered retirement facility, where her father is a resident. By fusing journalistic photography, poetic reflection, and handwritten notes from the residents themselves, Toda-Nation highlights the voices of this generation, whose invisibility was amplified during the pandemic, offering a poignant and deeply personal documentation of life during an extraordinary time. While members of the government were disregarding COVID rules and untested patients were being sent back to care homes, many of our eldest citizens were deprived of their loved ones and died alone. Inspired by the words of Junichiro Tanizaki, “were it not for the shadows, there would be no beauty,” the book endeavours to highlight the strength and stoicism of our eldest citizens, whilst being a reminder to us all that beauty can be found in the darkest of places. “Through this work I hope to capture a feeling of nostalgia, reminiscent of the storytelling we all love and associate with our grandparents — those special stories of wisdom and resilience that we will treasure forever. I hope the work captures the mood of this historic moment and will serve as a window back in time for future generations.” — Ruth Toda-Nation The book includes a foreword by photographer Roy Mehta.
