This book offers for the first time an overview of the unique collection of photography and new media held by the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe (MKG) Hamburg. From the beginning days of photography to contemporary pieces, the collection includes more than 75,000works. ReVision is a 400-page exploration of this extensive and multifaceted collection – from various perspectives such as portrait, architecture, and reportage photography. Texts by renowned international photo and cultural historians provide theoretical context for the book. We approached the design of the book as a curated exhibition, leading the viewer through the vast amount of works – while juxtaposing images to contrast or underpin one another.
