Product Description
What am I doing on the roof of my car, smashed on the platform from where 'it is sweet to stand and see, from the safe and distant shore, others in distress amidst billows and raging gales; not drawing delight from another's misfortune, but rejoicing over being spared such desperation*'? Doubtless as an artist, I am at war, too - Sophie Ristelhueber (*excerpt from Lucretius, "De Rerum Natura", II, 1-4) In her intensely personal yet objectively restrained photographs, Sophie Ristelhueber embraces and records the scars of human existence. 'I have these obsessions that I do not completely understand, with the deep mark, with the ruptured surface, with scars and traces, traces that human beings are leaving on the earth', she says. She transcends the turmoil and specificity of a location and creates art without limits of time and identity through photographs that are haunting, provocative and telling. Ristelhueber's photographs only ever carry evidence of human activity, never images of people themselves: it is through the absence of life that she manages so profoundly to address life's fragile presence.

BookStore - Another common type of bookstore is the used bookstore or second-hand bookshop which sells used and out-of-print books. A range of titles are available in used bookstores, including in print and out of print books. Book collectors tend to frequent used book stores. Large online bookstores offer used books for sale, too. Individuals wishing to sell their used books using online bookstores agree to terms outlined by the bookstore(s): for example, paying the online bookstore(s) a predetermined commission once the books have sold. Bookstores can range in size offering from several hundred to several hundred thousands of books. They may be brick-and-mortar stores or internet only stores or a combination of both. Sizes for the larger bookstores exceed half a million titles. Bookstores often sell other printed matter besides books, such as newspapers; additional product lines may vary enormously, particularly among independent bookstores. Colleges and universities often have their own student bookstore on campus that focuses on providing course textbooks and scholarly books, although some on-campus bookstores are owned by large chains.
