Another great find while I was in Hamburg is the work of German photographer
Arno Fischer. Fischer was born in 1927 and spent a large chunk of that time in East Berlin in the former DDR. The particular body of work that I want to highlight of his is from his recent book titled
Der Garten. This is a beautifully produced book of Fischer's polaroids from his private garden at his farmhouse in the country. The images are grouped into triptychs and coated with a varnish that makes the images have the actual look and feel of a polaroid.
It is an absolutely stunning book and was published by Hatje Cantz in 2007.
