Othere dition: Special edition of 150 signed and numbered copies with inkjet print on handmade paper, 21x30cm, 5 different photographs of 30 copies each. - The publication “Photographers in Conflict” reveals those faces to us that are normally behind the camera and, therefore, responsible for our image of the world - concerned photojournalists. - Goran Galić and Gian-Reto Gredig photographed and interviewed 32 professionals during the renowned festival “Visa pour l’Image” that resembles each year the world’s best photojournalists in Perpignan, France. The two young artists portrayed the journalists in the style of historical portraits and asked them keyword questions related to their métier. The answers accompany the pictures in the publication and are ordered by the given keywords: „Camera down“, „My kind of picture“, „Banging on people’s heads“, „The man on the street“, „Publish or perish“, „Hours in the darkroom“. They expose the diverse layers of the job and how every individual copes differently with its horrors, with self-reflection, and manipulation. - By publishing “Photographers in Conflict” as a newspaper a reference is made to the medium in which a lot of the images shot by photojournalists appear. The publication contains 16 portraits and a selection of transcripts of the video interviews, which will be released also online November, the 30th 2008. This is not merely a contemporary solution, but it reflects also the area of tension of today’s photojournalistic industry: on the one hand the classic reportages published in magazines and papers and on the other hand — in order to be able to be competitive with the emerging “citizen journalists” — reportages that more frequently are published online — often interactively and multimedia-based (e.g. with the commentary of the photographer). Galić’s and Gredig’s project reverses for once the asymmetrical power relation between the image producers and the depicted. - Goran Galić (1977) studied photography at the School of Art and Design Zurich. Gian-Reto Gredig (1976) studied Social Anthropology at the University of Zurich. Both live and work in Zurich. “PIC” is their first publication with Kodoji Press.

Text engl. - Nur Kurztitelaufnahme 04.2013. - „Featuring portfolios by: Simon Norfolk, Luc Delahaye, Kai Wiedenhofer, Paolo Pellegrin, Ahikam Seri, Ori Gersht, Gilad Ophir, Noel Jabbour, Noa Ben Shalom. This issue of Daylight Magazine, one year in the making, compiles a number of photographers examining the situation in Israel and Palestine. The nuances of this highly complex and volatile relationship could only be conveyed by a number of photographers examining parts of the whole. From the dwindling nomadic Bedouin population to the interiors of homes in the West Bank, we hope that this issue provides a unique perspective on a small, contested area of land fraught with religious, social, and economic tension.“ (www.http://daylightbooks.org/store; 04.2013).
