This book constitutes a series of entrances into an artistic research project exploring how queer community may emerge through photographic acts. Conducted through two artworks depicting queer lives in Russia State of Mind and At the Time of the Third Reading the research looks at possibilities to acknowledge identities and simultaneously challenge what may be taken as the norm. Photography and queer are two of the theoretical and practical entry points, while a third entrance deals with the artworks from different temporal, situational, and embodied positions, reflecting on queer community over borders, as well as the process of exhibiting the artworks in various countries and contexts. Annica Karlsson Rixon works as a visual artist, photographer, researcher, and lecturer. Queer Art through Photographic Acts introduces her PhD project in fotografisk gestaltning (photography) at Valand Academy, University of Gothenburg, Sweden.

This book is the result of one man's pure fascination for art, urban environments and beauty in the widest sense of the word. In shades of black, blue and brown, and in the spirit of Brassai and Doisneau, he takes us on a photographic tour, an imaginative play of light and shadows, to some of the cities that he has come to love as a world traveler -- Copenhagen, Paris, Berlin, Venice and Tokyo, to mention just a few.

<p>From the Introduction:</p><p>"There are certainly enough ingredients to fire imagination: a director [Mauritz Stiller] who had just finished a masterpiece [Gösta Berlings Saga]; a leading lady, the directors protégée, becoming known through his film [Greta Garbo]; a Russian exile with an extraordinary true story to tell [Vladimir Semitjov]; a film company with a spectacular big budget production in Egypt on its track record [Trianon Film AG]; an extravagant hotel in Constantinople, in a setting bridging East and West, poverty and luxury, set against the background of the recent Russian revolution; a heated quarrel on intellectual property rights; a film crew in distress, left by their director on Christmas Eve as luck had turned; The End."</p><p>No film, but a rediscovered manuscript A Tale from Constantinople written by Mauritz Stiller and Ragnar Hyltén-Cavallius, here published for the first time with an introduction and two contextualising essays.</p>
