Heidelberg / Berlin, Kehrer Verlag, 2015, first edition. 112 pp. Condition: Fine = as new. Signed copy. In the English language. With her latest photographic series Jessica Backhaus (born 1970) examines, universal questions of human existence. Based on her own life story she inquires after the sig- nificance of knowing the roots of one's own existence and to what extent it is possible to re-elaborate these—usually prescribed—roots. With her photographs she symbolically captures the essence of this search and of her life stages. Simultaneously, she pulls off the balancing act of keeping the images open for the beholder. Her photographs possess metaphoric potential and work against the grain of a classic social documentary photography. Scarce as signed copy.

Heidelberg, Kehrer Verlag, 2012, first edition. 88 pp., 55 plates Condition: Fine = as new. Signed copy. In English and German languages. A copy of the scarce first edition of 2012. What was once, still is, and will forever remain is Jessica Backhaus's infallible instinct for pictorial composition. Her views of ostensibly prosaic scenes open up to us a cosmos of unforeseen meanings while evoking a mood of affectionate familiarity. Backhaus (born 1970) is regarded as one of the most distinguished voices in contemporary German photography today.

Heidelberg, Kehrer Verlag, 2005, first edition. 141 pp. Condition: Fine = as new. Signed copy. In English, French and German languages. Included as title in Parr/Badger IIIA . The German-American photographer Jessica Backhaus (born 1970) has portrayed the village of Netno and its residents in Northern Poland.With a sure eye and an unusual color language, she points out the distinctive aesthetic of details she encountered: plastic flowers and crocheted pillowcases, images of saints and lace doilies, and cherries preserved in mason jars.The intimate character of the images suggests that the photographer must have developed a special relationship to her subject: In BackhausÂ’ photographs we feel the warmth, cordiality, and authenticity with which she was received in Poland.
