Everything Is Always So Perfect When You Are in It

The book brings together Anja Conrad?s series Cars, Men at Work, Reflections, and others and emphasizes the common aspects of these highly varied works. These include especially recurring processes, everyday perceptions and actions. The unimportant becomes a singular experience, the insignificant significant. Most of the images are created in an urban environment; they are, however, not street photography but rather images that have been carefully composed.0Anja Conrad (b. 1971) was raised in Chicago and New York and currently lives and works in Frankfurt am Main. Since 1992, her works have been exhibited in Germany and abroad at, among others, Ort fu?r Fotografie, Basel, Raum fu?r Kultur at Commerzbank, Frankfurt am Main, and the Open Source Gallery, Brooklyn, New York.
