Sibylle Eimermacher - A Guide Through Hue
Isbn 9789492051752
Publisher The Eriskay Connection
Idea code 21702
€ 40.00
Sibylle Eimermacher is a German-born artist who has lived in the Netherlands for more than two decades. A few years ago, the reds, browns, and purples of granite and porphyry found on sandy Dutch terrains caught her eye. Research into these glacial erratics pointed her to two regions, the Dalarna province in Sweden and the Åland archipelago in Finland, reawakening her urge to travel north. ‘A Guide Through Hue’ is the outcome of her quest, leading to where the rocks lay bare, to the open veins that pigment the landscape as they leave behind their native Scandinavian bedrock to eventually fade into the Dutch flatlands – a surrender to the universal condition of constant change.

Charlotte Dumas - Ao (Blue)
Isbn 9789083165851
Publisher Fw: Books
Idea code 21705
€ 32.00
Since 2015 Charlotte Dumas has studied the Japanese island of Yonaguni and the critically-endangered breed of native horses that roam freely across it. A tragic part of the island’s past comes through in her characteristically intimate films and photos. In round glass objects, ballet shoes, or a horse’s girth cloth, a special blue colour recurs to link Japanese nature, the island’s horses, and three young girls, whose spirited independence brings a new energy to Yonaguni.

Uta Eisenreich - As If
Isbn 9789492811967
Publisher Roma Publications
Idea code 21701
€ 42.00
This book of photographs is the sequel to ‘A NOT B’ (2010), wherein quotidian items are again staged and captured through the camera’s unblinking eye. Yet the images are no longer set in the innocent atmosphere of the preschool years, when the world is read through analogies, but catapulted into a darker space of representation at the cusp of adolescence, against the backdrop of a hyper-commercialised world. The compositions create a distinctive play with logic, language, and meaning. Objects transform from their humble selves into abstract shapes discharged of meaning, or alternately into advertisements for themselves, charged with desire or bad omens of an ominous future.

When the mother of photographer Ton Grote died in 2007, his father stayed behind in a large house. Their parental home where his parents lived since 1969 and he grew up with his brother and sister.

When his father started to clean up, Ton Grote decided to photograph all the loose items his parents owned: teapots, old cameras, power strips, glasses, and a worn out football. Treasured things they grew up with and the objects his parents used: everything was recorded. The result is a photo archive of more than five thousand photos, of which 2,262 made it into the book..

Simone Gooch + Derek Henderson - Rosa
Isbn 9781922545046
Publisher Perimeter Editions
Idea code 21690
€ 51.75
The still-life floral arrangements that comprise florist Simone Gooch and photographer Derek Hernderson’s collaborative project both expound and subvert the loaded historical and aesthetic potentials of its central subject matter. In 2019 they worked together with Matthews Nurseries Ltd. – a multi-generational family rose farm in New Zealand – to source, select, and cut the many unique rose varieties that appear in this book. The results are quiet yet spectacular, poetic yet expressive, with Henderson capturing Gooch’s highly sculptural and unconventionally elegant floral signature with casual warmth and formalist precision. With an extensive interview and detailed flower index.

Lithium: States Of Exhaustion
Isbn 9789569571886
Publisher Het Nieuwe Instituut / Arq
Idea code 21715
€ 28.20
Since its discovery, lithium was presented as a cure for the exhaustion that the capitalist economy exerts on bodies. Prescribed since 1817 for treating mania and depression, it is now better known as a vital element for the transition to renewable energies. Yet an increasing dependence on its extraction is causing the degradation and collapse of entire ecosystems. From salt flats in Bolivia and evaporation pools in Chile’s Atacama Desert to spa resorts in Europe, this bilingual and bipolar investigation brings together the arguments and views of activists, biologists, academics, journalists, architects, and philosophers on lithium extraction, pharmacology, and mental health.

The third exhibition by Esther Kläs at Xavier Hufkens in Brussels continues the artist’s investigation of form, openness, and presence through new works that span sculpture, photography, drawing, and installation.

While mounting the exhibition, the two produced new video works on-site which deal with joy, time, and intimacy, reflective of themes running through her practice. With her choice of materials, Kläs maintains an intimate physical relationship with her work. She is attentive to her inner experience as well as to external reality, creating mysterious presences and projections of a poetic imagination.

Roos Theuws - Binntal
Isbn
Publisher Roos Theuws
Idea code 21694
€ 30.00
Based in Amsterdam, Roos Theuws is known for her video installations in which light and sound are the subject matter, physical phenomena whose coherence is a product of interpretation. Her keen awareness of this fact is apparent in both her photography and video installations, where she often deconstructs the image for the viewer. ‘Binntal’ was inspired by a walk in the Swiss Alps in early spring, when myriads of tiny flowers emerge from the thawing snow to dot the landscape. She wondered what would happen if all the colours of that landscape were mixed together, and proceeded to take the many pictures which have resulted in this meticulously executed colour study.

Publisher House Publishing
Idea code 21695
€ 40.00
‘Power’ consist of constructed images in which Jesper Boot depicts his own family as political figures. All the work finds its origin in how power and politics have been represented in the media for decades and have therefore ended up in our memory. By showing images that look familiar, he constructs a political image for the viewer, which is then deconstructed if it turns out that it is not a trusted politician, but Jesper's own family.

See All This 24: Colour Fields, Curated By Claudy Jongstra
Isbn 24683981
Publisher See All This
Idea code 21689
€ 19.95
Colour is making a comeback. For so long we’ve been oblivious to the slow disappearance of colour from the world around us; fields and pastures have become more monochrome, our clothes have been stripped of their brilliance and our gardens have lost their wilderness. Guest curated by artist and activist Claudy Jongstra, the winter issue of See All This is coaxing colour back into our lives. For over twenty years, Jongstra has dedicated her life and her art to the traditional craft of dying wool with natural pigments. These organically tinted materials are the foundation of her monumental textile works. Using wool from her own indigenous herd of Drenthe heath sheep and plants from her own garden, Jongstra creates artworks which attest to the beauty and import of nature’s colour palette.

Kazuo Shinohara View from this Side (New Edition)
Isbn 9783906213385
Publisher Rollo Press
Idea code 21684
€ 22.50
Besides designing buildings, the celebrated Japanese architect Kazuo Shinohara (1925–2006) also travelled extensively, always with a camera in hand. Presented here is a selection of his rarely seen colour slides that were primarily intended for personal use. The majority are quick snapshots taken while casually moving through cities – street scenes, impressions of the cityscape, and monumental buildings – in order to record details, unusual perspectives, and sometimes merely oddities. Selected from five significant overseas journeys Shinohara made between 1972 and 1985, the pictures constitute the diary of a seasoned architect. With an essay by Simona Ferrari.

Alexandra Dautel’s 'May You Continue to Blossom' is a critical investigation into the nature of illusion, told via the story of Neot Semadar – a kibbutz and self-styled utopia in the desert of Southern Israel. Through a feverish, layered constellation of words and images, it walks the line between delusion and belief, visually exploring the texture and terms of ideology, and asking what lies behind the construction of an ideal place.

Care is everywhere and at the same time society faces a ‘care problem’. How do artists and photographers create more caring relationships between humans, technology, and nature, given the challenges? An editorial commitment to care by an international Belgian-Dutch-German team leads to a variety of artistic practices and underrepresented stories. Theoretical text contributions, visual contributions, and experimental, hybrid formats stand side by side. 'Trigger 3: Care' eventually gathers many forms of care through photography and visual art practices.

Publisher Corraini Edizioni
Idea code 21675

The food we prepare and ingest represents us, signifies us, and contributes to our individual and collective identity. Intended to trigger a series of reflections on the complexity of food, this book centres on the work of the eleven artists exhibited at the Biennale Foto/Industria, which is wholly dedicated to the food industry. Somewhere between a photography book and a cookbook, it arises from different parts of the world and spans an entire century while initiating a visual and textual conversation about the vast, multifaceted subject of food. Each artist’s body of work is a kind of case study, culminating with a recipe designed by writer and chef Tommaso Melilli to form a single meal.
