Off Beat presents photographs taken in New York City in 2008and 2009, when A-chan began working with black and white film. Theimages were made in the same wandering spirit as those in VibrantHome, also to be published this season by Steidl. A-chan exploredthe streets of New York, allowing her compositions to revealthemselves rather than searching for pre-determined motifs. Pigeonsperched on a branch, the lyrical geometry of serviettes on a table,or the play of shapes created by a bus silhouetted against traffic:such is the material of A-chan's restless, charming vision.

Whether they are of Abu Dhabi, California, Egypt or Emilia, all of the images he produces are lit with a constant physical light and elements that this photographer seems to always have with him the way he does with his camera bag, and through which all he wants to do is observe the world. I find such an aesthetic to be more that of a painter than a photographer somehow. Better yet, that of a post-documentary or neo-pictorialist photographer, who experiences and conceives his work to be the exprssive gesture of an artist for whom the subject is above all the opportunity for a tremendous but constant variation in his view of the world.

The work of German photographer Louisa Marie Summer is driven by her interest in discovering the inner workings of other peoples lives. She is eager to look at what is beyond the surface and questions with her camera what she sees. Louisas photographs share her experience with Jennifer, a young second-generation Puerto Rican woman, whom one day Louisa approached in South Providence. Jennifer lives with her native American partner and their four children in a run-down three-bedroom apartment at or near the lower end of the socio-economic ladder.
