“Look Book – 01” is the second book by photographer Anna Breit. It comprises over 100 photos from the photographer’s archive from 2018 to 2024, all of which are excerpts – mainly from commissioned works. The original images were deliberately destroyed by the artist and the frame was thus reset. The commissioned work no longer exists and is equally the fundamental starting point for this playful artistic work.
What remains are grainy faces, which are serially arranged on the pages without interruption as close-up views. In Look Book – 01, Anna Breit plays with the interface between applied and artistic photography.

Collaborative work between my mother and me.
My mother was a tailor and used to run her own studio in which she designed and sewed mainly made-to-measure clothing such as evening dresses, coats and costumes.
Once she organized a fashion show in her atelier where she presented her work. I was a child at that time and too small to understand what exactly she was doing.
Now I am not only old enough to understand and appreciate her work, but I've also had the opportunity to work with her and combine our work.

Facing Traditions is a collaborative project with stylist Johanna Bouvier and hair and make-Up Artist Max Artemis. Together we discovered the fashion history of their home country by questioning and rethinking traditions. With the aesthetic resources of photojournalism and fashion photography, they are facing the history of Austria, recreating a new story, adopting these garments and smashing old traditions.For this ongoing project, they teamed up with Austrian designer Susanne Bisovsky.

Interview with fm4 about the show
Presstext, DE:
„Teens (in their rooms)“ ist das erste Buch der Fotografin Anna Breit. Die Bildserie portraitiert Jugendliche in ihren Zimmern und bedient sich der ästhetischen Mittel der Fotoreportage.
Das Buch wird mit dem Zitat „The Kids Are United“ eingeleitet, ein Kommentar auf die Gegenkultur, welches auch auf die Jugend der Fotografin selbst verweist. Anna Breit setzt sich in ihrer meist analogen fotografischen Arbeit mit der Darstellung von Menschen aus ihrem näheren, persönlichen Umfeld auseinander. Für die vorliegende Serie jedoch lernte sie ihre Protagonistinnen und Protagonisten auf der Straße und über Social Media kennen. Dem Buch liegt auch ein Poster bei.
“Dear Mama,
I think you are truly beautiful.
Happy Birthday!

„My series „Bodies“ explores the beauty of human bodies through abs- traction and precision. My intention is to celebrate the beauty and inten- tionally work against the sexualisation of the human body.
With the help of well trained and accurately performed yoga and dance poses these bodies obtain a sculptural quality. Even though there is a lot of skin and less cloths, the pictures are not to be seen as sexy.“
