Claudia den Boer - To Pick Up a Stone
Isbn 9789492051554
Publisher The Eriskay Connection
Idea code 20513
€ 32.00
Claudia den Boer’s second photobook is about connecting to something that has existed for a long time, to slow down, to be still, to look, and look again. Why do we tend to pick up stones? We toss them in the water, or take them as souvenirs. In doing so, we seem to seek connection to the earth, or maybe even to eternity. It is precisely this connection that Den Boer was searching for when she picked up stones in the Sahara and Tibet, around Montserrat and in the Georgian Caucasus. Through photographic studies, she examines the experience of light, scale, perspective, and spatiality in an eclectic and meditative selection of images depicting mountains, rocks, and stones.

Geert Goiris - 2020
Isbn 9789492811813
Publisher Roma Publications
Idea code 20491
€ 26.50
Around the year 1124, a community of Benedictines settled on the Wivina site at Groot-Bijgaarden in modern-day Belgium. Archaeological research has uncovered the remains of five consecutive churches and outbuildings there. The current chapel from 1924 is still intact. In 2011 interior architect Tom Callebaut led the transformation of this chapel into a contemporary space for contemplation. Nine years later, photographer Geert Goiris was invited to visualize the experience of this space, which is still a beacon of theology and reflection. A text by Herman Lombaerts accompanies the series of images.

Ed van der Elsken - Feest

Idea code 20467
€ 22.30
Around 1960, Ed van der Elsken (1925-1990) put together a photobook on the theme of "feest" (feast). Drawing from both old and new work, he produced a design that is a sequence of festive occasions: fun, celebration, dancing, music, fairs, carnivals, excitement, and euphoria, but also drunkenness and exhaustion in the wee hours. He combined the individual photographs into sparkling and rhythmical pairings, so that a genuine sense of joy emanates from the pages. At the time, for reasons unknown, the design was left on the shelf.

Mathias Depardon - Transanatolia
Isbn 9791092265934
Publisher Andre Frere Editions
Idea code 20511
€ 48.40
‘Transanatolia’ is a journey to the border regions of Anatolia. Photographer Mathias Depardon spent five years traversing this ancient crossroads between East and West, stretching as far as the rim of the Caucasus. In this series of images he explores the notions of periphery and border, from the recently settled western suburbs of Istanbul to Turkish Kurdistan, where a veritable water war is raging and civil revolution seems imminent. Depardon’s portraits and landscapes from these remote regions offer an insightful and powerful look at a nation torn between modernisation and Ottoman nostalgia, helping us to understand the changes sweeping through this part of the world.

The Italian Photobook 1931-1941
Isbn 9788885449541
Publisher Danilo Montanari
Idea code 20492
€ 37.65
This publication examines the most interesting and innovative photographic books appearing in the decade in which “modern” photography developed in Italy. The medium at that time oscillated between autonomous visual research (starting from the new experimentalism of the Futurists) and a “functional” use of photographic illustration in the two parallel and often intersecting fields of advertising and propaganda. In tracing the brief and intense history of graphic and photographic modernism in Italy, the book presents about 100 works by several of the period’s leading figures: Antonio Boggeri, Erberto Carboni, Franco Grignani, Bruno Munari, Giuseppe Pagano, and Luigi Veronesi.

Loic Seguin - Half-Light
Isbn 9786188434127
Publisher Void
Idea code 20504
€ 35.75
Loïc Seguin’s first book unveils people from the Parisian neighbourhood of Belleville, a vibrant, multi-ethnic place. He approaches locals from all walks of life, establishing a connection with them through conversation, then asks for their cooperation. The portraits in this portfolio are alternated with inscrutable street scenes and interiors. Seguin uses a harsh flash, unapologetically exposing the irregularities of inanimate objects and surfaces, thus echoing the unpolished faces that serve as metaphoric expression of their crude urban environment. The unpretentious portraits trigger curiosity. Who are these people, and how did they allow the photographer to come this close?

Tolo Parra - Obscuria De Profundis
Isbn 9786188434196
Publisher Void
Idea code 20352
€ 32.70
Tolo Para employs everyday objects that correspond with allegorical objects in the cosmos in a search for visual answers to the eternal riddle of existence. These objects illustrate the path that the human species has travelled, from its origins to the present moment. Para’s photographs are juxtaposed with found images to create a visual dialogue between matter and different eras. The book therefore poses questions about our nature, where we come from, and where we are going. Such enigmatic ponderings are the driving force that moves our species forward in time, from the dark path to the light of knowledge.

Yurian Quintanas Nobel - Dream Moons

Publisher Void
Idea code 20505
€ 35.75
This is a story told in the first person. It mixes photography and text to send you on a journey through a bizarre dream, and takes place within the corridors and rooms of the artist’s house. Yurian Quintanas Nobel depicts his home as a psychological space where everything is possible. But at the same time he addresses the concept of being in a relationship, an imaginary place where the walls cannot really protect us, and every corner leads to a new experience that we must face without already knowing how. In this journey, everything is strange and unstable. What we think we know becomes fragmented, leaving us dwelling in a different reality without even being aware of it.

Kourtney Roy - The Tourist
Isbn 9791092265941
Publisher Andre Frere Editions
Idea code 20498
€ 50.55
‘The Tourist’ contains all the hallmarks of Kourtney Roy’s recognisable and appealing style: self-portraiture, a filmic approach, and characteristic vivid colour palette. But it also shows a tension between the witty and the sinister, the conventional and the unorthodox, the glamour and the sleaze. Roy is a virtuoso of context creation, and her exceptional crafting of the point where we depart our existential world and enter the intentional one she provides for us is nothing short of admirable. Roy creates a playful visual metaphor for a world we believe we know, yet through her clever use of juxtaposition we quickly realise that it is not quite the world it seems to be.

Juan Hein: Clouds And Bombs
Isbn 9788797052068
Publisher Disko Bay
Idea code 20479
€ 30.00
Clouds hold a special fascination for humans – we cannot help attempting to decode them, either to predict the weather or just for fun. But certain clouds signify something more than an approaching storm or a vivid imagination. They are shaped by destruction, pushing upwards and blossoming like a mushroom after a nuclear detonation, or furiously rising atop an erupting volcano – terrifying epitomes of nature’s immense power. Juan Hein has turned this fascination towards the realm of technology, mining the digital cloud instead of seeking clouds in the sky. He peers into a vast body of information and images, and captures what he finds most interesting.

I am fascinated by him being 'different' and the possibilities and impossibilities of his body. Full of amazement I have photographed him in all kinds of postures. Because we are so familiar with each other, I can look at him freely as if he were a living sculpture. Usually I leave out the unnecessary at this occasion I added the unnecessary on purpose."

Behelfsheim - Enver Hirsch & Philipp Meuser
Isbn 9783000656309
Publisher Hirsch & Meuser
Idea code 20475
€ 40.30
During and shortly after the end of the Second World War, hundreds of thousands makeshift homes were built in and around the destroyed cities of Germany. Many were built in allotment gardens, which were largely spared from Allied bombing. Constructed of debris or the simplest building materials, most of these houses have since undergone a continuous structural and spatial upgrade. But this dwelling type is slowly disappearing as Germany’s cities expand and densify. In ‘Behelfsheim’, Enver Hirsch and Philipp Meuser document the phenomenon through photographs and historical graphics, a final acknowledgement of a temporary arrangement and its unique materiality.

At the beginning of 2020, we talked of going on a road trip through her native Sweden to shoot new work. When the pandemic made that impossible, we decided we would shoot it over wifi. Skype and FaceTime. She took me into dark fairytale forests, while I sat on my bed in Kentish Town directing her. I accompanied her through lockdown life - we walked her dog Pedro, tried on clothes and danced around the house. And I never left mine.’ - Valerie Phillips.

“I have always been fascinated by the dark bedrooms with their heavy oak matrimonial beds, the living rooms that were never used (at most when visitors from outside came), and the kitchens that had to be always spick and span and tidy. Symbols of a German childhood. Mirrors of a war generation that will soon no longer exist. For several years I visited more than thirty widows and photographed in their apartments. In my native town of Viernheim in southern Hesse, in Berlin, Hamburg, in the Ruhrpott and in Norway. I worked with a medium format camera, a cumbersome technique that gave me time and required a lot of patience." Claudia Reinhardt.

'Roman Hours' is the first publication in collaboration between writer André Aciman and photographer Jeannette Montgomery Barron. The idea for this project grew out of a series of conversations between the two authors and their shared desire to capture Rome. The book brings together a selection of images that, put together, offer a reflection on the contradictions, colours, and sounds of Rome, where the ancient is glimpsed through the modern and the bright colours fade into the characteristic ocher tones of the Eternal City.

Chantal Rens - That's When Walls Are Thin
Isbn 9783945900482
Publisher Edition Taube
Idea code 20413
€ 80.00
Chantal Rens creates analogue cut-and-paste collages that allow us to peer into a parallel universe. The images appear to be photographs, and yet we are left searching for familiar or direct points of reference. The space in which the people, animals, and landscapes exist is somehow different. ‘That’s when walls are thin’ is a limited edition folder of fifteen prints, a series Rens created between 2010 and 2020. Comprised of material extracted from Dutch magazines of the 1930s through the 1960s, the collages might induce a nostalgic yearning for a simpler world that does not exist. Yet the temporal displacement is a reminder that nothing was ever perfect, and it never will be.

Improvising a series of sculptural interventions in situ, the artist played with existing display structures, proposing the hardware store as a place where the display of materiality can be contemplated like works of art in exhibition spaces. Photographer Johannes Schwartz documented the artist’s ephemeral installations and the existing fixtures and fittings, creating a portrait of the store.

During their residency at Est-Nord-Est in Saint-Port-Joli, Quebec, Elvia Teotski and Jérémy Laffon stumble upon a small shed that seems inhabited but find no trace of its resident Bottle Joe. The artists start to investigate the building and create a series of sculptural yet functional wooden prostheses for its abandoned furniture. Through a drunk photographic journey and a series of texts written from the perspective of the mysterious Joe, the publication keeps on zooming in and out of the building and its surrounding environment to account of the temporary monumentalisation of the place and its former inhabitant.

Sometimes unreal, absurd, and even outright funny, the spectacles end once the objects are disposed of by waste collectors or given new life by interested strangers.
