TELLER, Juergen. Nurnberg.

(Göttingen): Steidl, 2004.  First edition.  Large square quarto.  256 pages.  Photographic study of the “Reichsparteitagsgelande”, the site of the Nurnberg Rallies, and a place Teller used to visit in his youth. The results are a series of images of stone and flora, photographed over the four seasons of a year, in seed, bloom, demise and finally dormant in the snow. It amounts to a study of mortality, the process of birth, growth and death. The book combines these works with self-portraits and family photographs through the same period, adding the perspective of the personal and quotidian life cycle.  A fine, still sealed copy.
