Erik Kessels: In Almost Every Picture 17 - Carlo And Luciana
Isbn 9789070478537
Publisher Kesselskramer
Idea code 21115
€ 25.00
Carlo and Luciana come from a small town in Italy, Vignola, in the province of Modena. We first meet them at around 20 to 30 years of age, in black-and-white photographs. Many of these snapshots were taken on the road. This marks the beginning of their personal project of photographing each other in the same spot. Yet it is not until later, past the blank pages symbolic of their working years, that we really get to know how Carlo and Luciana explored the world. In almost every picture – same place, same time – we see him or her, but never them.

David Rothenberg - Roosevelt Station
Isbn 9780648680161
Publisher Perimeter Editions
Idea code 21082
€ 36.75
'Roosevelt Station' (2019–2020) is a series of candid photographs of people illuminated by the cathedral-like light of the Roosevelt Avenue/74th St. train station in Jackson Heights, Queens in New York City. The photographs show commuters, airport-bound travellers, and panhandlers, as they pass through the station during the morning rush hour, suspended in the glowing magenta, orange, and green-tinted light beaming from ‘Night Passage’, a public art installation of colourful transom windows by the artist Tom Patti. The subjects in the photographs, mostly engaged in mundane daily routines, are made theatrical by the otherworldly light that falls during the morning hours.

Linus Bill - Kranke Kinder
Isbn 9783906213347
Publisher Yellow Pages
Idea code 21085
€ 18.00
The booklet is composed entirely of photographs revealing the intimate, daily life of parenting and childhood: catching snowflakes on the tongue, learning to use chopsticks, and in perhaps the most humorous photo, a boy earnestly concentrating while taking a close-up of his brother’s bare backside with his father’s camera. That each photo is printed in bright monochromatic yellow makes for a sunny family album, where mundane activities like cutting an infant’s hair or an image of a plunger stuck onto a bathroom mirror carry a vividness equal to that of beach holiday photos. As in his previous exhibitions and catalogues, the Swiss-born photographer approaches his work with curiosity, wit, and casual observation.

This visual manifesto explores the notion of ‘the photographic’, an analysis of the effects the technical image has on the visual culture as a whole. The glossy photo essay focuses on contemporary artistic practises and experimental approaches to photography, divided into four themes: The Photographic Fossil, Chemical Matter, Optical Confusion, and Performing the Image. The accompanying text insert engages a discourse among artists and intellectuals on defining photography and technique. ‘Off Camera’ is the conclusion of a research project carried out by Belgian researcher Steven Humblet’s group, Thinking Tools, at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, Antwerp.

Mashid Mohadjerin - Freedom Is Not Free
Isbn 9789490521530
Publisher Royal Academy Fine Arts Antw.
Idea code 21122
€ 45.00
What does freedom mean? Through the lens of her camera and through a kaleidoscope of history of women in resistance, Mohadjerin put together a multidimensional work which takes the viewer on a dreamlike journey bound by neither space nor time. The art-book accompanies an exhibition focusing on the private and public world of Iranian women who grew up after the revolution of 1979 and on places of significance from the artist’s childhood. Her works are part of an artistic doctoral research at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts and the University of Antwerp, which started as a research on female freedom fighters and culminated in a very personal journey to her native Iran.

Secret Societies - A Graphic History Of Organised Crime

Publisher Same Old
Idea code 21075
€ 51.65
Born in Sicily, Giuseppe Morello (1867–1930) emigrated to the United States in the 1890s and soon established a gang that would eventually become the Morello crime family, the precursor to the oldest of the Five Families in New York. Through the rise and fall of this first Mafia boss and his brother-in-law, Ignazio Lupo, this book examines in riveting detail the early evolution of the Sicilian-American criminal network, from the “Black Hand” to Prohibition. Photographs, documents, and contemporary articles show how in this period the hierarchies of crime families in America were established and reinforced while they gained new recruits and resources and spread across the country.

Emma Phillips - Send Me A Lullaby
Isbn 9780648680192
Publisher Perimeter Editions
Idea code 21081
€ 37.55
In the lead up to the PHOTO 2021 International Festival of Photography, Emma Phillips was commissioned by Photo Australia to make a portrait of Melbourne. ‘Send me a Lullaby’ is the result – a reflection on connection, navigation, and time, as well as the constantly evolving relationship between people and space. Images contemplate urban, domestic, and psychological spaces, interwoven with portraits of people Phillips encountered in Melbourne. Taken during different seasons, her images capture the city as it responds to catastrophic bushfires and a global pandemic. The book includes a colloquial text in bricolage form, key to unlocking the images and exploring boundaries.

Madrid - Book Of Books: Jorge Carrion | Alberto Garcia-Alix
Isbn 9788412279238
Publisher Ivorypress
Idea code 21106
€ 29.95
‘Madrid: Book of Books’ is a collaboration between writer Jorge Carrión and photographer Alberto García-Alix. It is part of the ‘Cities’ series, which explores how to visualise a particular place, in this case, the Spanish capital. Like a puzzle, each fragment contributes to the city’s literary landscape; each piece reconstructs part of the history, objects, conversations, memories, anecdotes, sensations and even phantasmagoria of cultural spaces dedicated to books in Madrid – a dimension of the city that is often invisible for many. Guided by Carrión’s knowledge, plus interviews and analysis, the journey through these reading routes is accompanied by images by García-Alix.

Jacques Pugin - Tracehumance
Isbn 9783906822389
Publisher Sturm & Drang
Idea code 20393
€ 46.80
During his career, artist-photographer Jacques Pugin has experimented with every available technique to achieve his creative purpose. ‘Tracehumance’, published in conjunction with an exhibition of his work at Musée Gruérien, Switzerland, covers no less than four decades and illustrates an artistic approach characterised by an almost obsessive quest for signs and traces created by humans or nature. Pugin has developed a highly coherent body of work in a style that emerges as the changing landscapes unfold. It is notable for the recurrent use of handwritten markings, traces, and signs, as well as his experimentation with photographic techniques, video, and satellite images.

Yu Yamauchi - Planet
Isbn 9784861528057
Publisher Seigensha
Idea code 20522
€ 46.05
‘Planet’ follows photographer Yu Yamauchi’s five-year journey to the heart of Mongolia and the Inner Mongolia region in China. His pictures record the different ways of life of the Mongolian people, from nomadic groups with their reindeer and camels, to city dwellers with their modern technology. In a way, he is tracing the progress of humanity. The scenes he captures seem to exist independently of each other, yet all are from the same region, the same time. Travelling thousands of kilometres, Yamauchi’s sense of time and place faded away, leaving him to contemplate planet Earth itself. A planet with multitudes of worlds, separated only by experiences and differences in perspective.

Publisher Lecturis
Idea code 21077
€ 30.00
This book is comprised of almost 100 photographs, each remarkably special in terms of artistic, aesthetic, and social qualities. Together the images tell the story of 180 years of photography in the Netherlands and its colonies, from 19th-century daguerreotypes to contemporary works by Rineke Dijkstra, Dustin Thierry, Bertien van Manen, Dana Lixenberg, Lee To Sang, and more. Compiled for the Nederlands Fotomuseum by a committee of five experts, the selected images display the richness of the work of photographers who explore the borders of the medium and are unafraid to challenge them. Encompassing numerous narratives, the photographs also show how radically the technology and sociocultural function of photography has evolved.

The Eyes 11 - Transgalactic
Isbn 9791092727418
Publisher The Eyes
Idea code 20586
€ 21.50
The 21st century is proving to be a time of disruption, of total deconstruction. For its 11th issue, ‘The Eyes’ invited artist-researcher SMITH and performer and curator Nadège Piton to provide an in-depth study on the theme of gender. It sketches a possible panorama of the role played by photography in the construction of (trans) gender, highlighting a constellation of works and publications by trans and/or queer artists who emerged from conversations between the guest editors. It contains authentic and touching testimonies, both visual and written, by artists such as Cassils, Juliana Huxtable, Gabriel García Román, Annie Sprinkle, Shu Lea Cheang, and Sébastian Lifshitz.

Ari Marcopoulos - Boarding Pass
Isbn 9780648262886
Publisher Perimeter Editions
Idea code 20453
€ 31.75
For photographer and filmmaker Ari Marcopoulos, air travel is quite a point of obsession. Before moving to New York in 1980, where he would eventually carve out a career defined by his raw and intimate renderings of some of America’s most significant subcultural protagonists, he spent much of his childhood flying with his father, a commercial airline pilot. ‘Boarding Pass’ takes this experience of flight and the machines that make it possible as its defining motifs. The characteristically intuitive, spontaneous images in this volume offer countless perspectives of airplanes on the tarmac or in flight, rerouting our gaze from the pragmatic and economic towards the poetic.
