Description
Recently included as one of 10 artists in the Silverstein Photography Annual, Oliver Sieber has photographed a variety of pop-cultural niches over the years—from Teds in Germany to Rockabilly fans in Japan. In Character Thieves, Sieber has focused on European manifestations of the “Cosplay” subculture, where participants dress up in costumes—and live part of their lives—as characters from Japanese video games, animated films, and graphic novels. This volume was produced by Böhm/Kobayashi Publishers in collaboration with one of our favorite German independent publishers and booksellers, Markus Schaden. A thin paperback with wide, manga-inspired printed flaps, the unassuming volume’s neutrality works as a counterbalance for the wildly creative Cosplay creatures contained within. A limited supply of signed and unsigned copies are available exclusively through the Aperture Curated Collection. |
