Prima edizione (First Edition). Joachim Schmid began his career as a critic, arguing passionately against prevailing notions of "art photography" and in favor of a broad, encompassing view of the medium as a form of cultural practice. In the late 80s, he shifted his focus to making those arguments in his own art, which is based primarily on found photography. At the time, Schmid lived near one of the largest flea markets in Berlin, and his broad collection of vernacular photography formed the raw material for many of the works included here. His oeuvre reflects a close observation of photographic history and a fascination with the images themselves, in all their bizarre and conventionalized aspects, but its fundamental richness--along with the sardonic wit he so often displays--derails any attempt to read it as academic. Joachim Schmid ha iniziato la sua carriera come critico, argomentando con passione contro le nozioni prevalenti di "fotografia d'arte" e a favore di una visione ampia e comprensiva del mezzo come forma di pratica culturale. Alla fine degli anni '80, ha spostato la sua attenzione sulla fotografia ritrovata. All'epoca Schmid viveva vicino a uno dei più grandi mercati delle pulci di Berlino, e la sua vasta collezione di fotografia vernacolare ha costituito la materia prima per molte delle opere qui incluse. La sua opera riflette un'attenta osservazione della storia della fotografia e un fascino per le immagini stesse, in tutti i loro aspetti bizzarri e convenzionali, ma la sua ricchezza fondamentale - insieme all'arguzia sardonica che spesso mostra - fa deragliare qualsiasi tentativo di leggerla come accademica.
