Instead they reveal to us a photographer with a gift for presenting clear and highly personal imagery in an extraordinary, utterly refreshing manner.

The absurdity of the ordinary, whose beauty is all too often overlooked by saturated senses, is made visible in the vivid, highly colorful photographs of Philipp Keel. By demonstrating what can come into one's line of sight (or camera lens) through the simple act of looking with curiosity at the world, expecting not to see the usual but rather the unusual, the juxtaposed, the bright, the surreal, the exaggerated and the quixotic, Keel teaches the viewer to see with fresh eyes. His view over the harsh red illumination of the dashboard lights toward the liberating end of the tunnel is both disturbing and strangely hopeful. In photos full of movement and lightness, liveliness and spontaneity, irony and generous humor, perspectives surprise and reflections hint at a secret, puzzle-filled world that exists both in front of and behind the everyday one.
Volume II: another 121 days to fill in!In a world where products are out as soon as they're in, where communicating without wires doesn't come without strings, and even our accessories need accessories, we need simple tools. A book that helps us look inside because we are overloaded outside. Keel's Simple Diary offers structure for those who don't have time to wonder, making it easy to record life's moments. It gives the pleasure of a quick response and the sense that no matter what's wrong, more is right. Why Simple Diary? There are three reasons why most people, although they have tried, won't keep a diary:1. Not every day is very eventful.2. It actually takes a lot of discipline to write.3. In retrospect, many find what they have written embarrassing.What is Simple Diary? It is an assistant for life, a book for any occasion, for any person at any age. On every page you will discover a taste of philosophy, a pinch of psychology, and a twist of insight. And here are three things Simple Diary can do for you:1. Entertain the mind.2. Help you focus.3. Keep you company.Simple Diary is Keel's response to having too much information and not enough meaning, and needing to remember what made him smile. Three volumes and many pastrami sandwiches later, Keel finally had the answers to his own questions. Simple Diary is the culmination of his quest to gain insight into who we are, and why we do what we do.
A glamorous panorama of art fairs In this portrait series, artist, writer and publisher Philipp Keel (born 1968) captures the people behind the art. This encompasses not only artists but also art collectors, art lovers, dealers, curators and gallery directors--all of whom contribute to the art world ecosystem and flock to the premier modern and contemporary art fairs held by Art Basel in Hong Kong, Basel and Miami Beach. Keel's images portray these rarefied, highly anticipated events. Walking around the fairs' corridors, he selects his subjects intuitively, drawn to their self-presentation. By positioning them beside the art on display, an exchange between art and art enthusiast emerges. As the distinction between art and image becomes increasingly hazy, the portraits underscore how the two are mutually reinforcing, bound together by the flow of commerce. The book features over 400 photographs, reflecting the vibrant excess of the art fair.

Splash presents a rigorous selection of Philipp Keel's photographs from the last decade. Keel's luminous, color-intense images celebrate the pleasure and strange beauty of random details and objects. While his bold style may appear spontaneous, Keel meticulously experiments with the processes of image creation in the darkroom, condensing forms and tones so that everyday subjects adopt abstract qualities. Keel's most recent photographs depict motifs in or near water: here objects dissolve in movement, take on a life of their own and entrance us with a shimmering ambiguity.
