Text engl.- Sarajevo Self-Portrait presents the work and words of nine photographers from a country in the aftermath of war. Created with what little film they had, in ruined darkrooms without electricity or running water, the photographs in this book are not only hard proof of the destruction and the suffering of this once-beautiful country but a salute to its indomitable spirit. For a country so brutally torn apart by racial conflict and hate, and for the rest of the world which largely ignored Bosnia's cries for help, Sarajevo Self-Portrait offers an authentic view of Bosnia in a completely new way - through the eyes of those actually living inside it.

Text engl. - "Christer Strömholm (1918–2002) was one of the great photographers of the 20th century. This book presents his most powerful and acclaimed body of work: Les Amies de Place Blanche, a documentation of transsexual "ladies of the night" in Paris in the 1960s. Arriving in Paris in the late 1950s, Strömholm settled in Place Blanche in the heart of the city's red-light district. There, he befriended and photographed young transsexuals struggling to live as women and to raise money for sex-change operations. Strömholm's surprisingly intimate portraits and lush Brassaï-like night scenes form a magnificent, dark, and at times quite moving photo album, a vibrant tribute to these girls, the "girlfriends of Place Blanche." The photographs were first published in Sweden in 1983."
