Michal Chelbin “strangely familiar: …”

Dear readers, greets from Berlin! With my friend Christian I saw the Wolfgang Tillmans (if you are in Berlin, you must see it) show at the wonderful Hamburger Bahnhof here in Berlin. Afterwards, we stopped by at the museums book shop and we found this truly wonderful book of israeli photographer Michael Chelbin: ”Strangely Familiar: Acrobats, Athletes and Other Traveling Troupes” (Aperture). I guess I haven’t seen such a great book for a long time, and I found these pictures absolutely moving and beautiful. Tough, I was slightly disappointed of the printing of the book, the paper felt somewhat glossy and “plastic-stlye”-cheap. I hope this work will be shown in Germany soon… Unfortunately, I couldn’t fnd very many of her photos online, but check her website here.
