Cabaret Bizarre
Isbn 9783856169817
Publisher Christoph Merian
Idea code 22613
€ 51.60
Kostas Maros has been accompanying the artists and performers of Cabaret Bizarre since 2013, following and documenting their appearances throughout Europe and taking photographs both during performances and backstage. Intimate and unadorned, his pictures reveal moments of tension before the spotlight and euphoric exhaustion after the show. Cabaret Bizarre was inspired by the sombre variety theatres which appeared in Berlin in the 1920s and early ’30s, as well as by the surreal aesthetic of filmmakers Federico Fellini and Luis Buñuel. This book celebrates that intoxicating night-time world, at once a flamboyant carnival of desires and sumptuous freak show.

Manon, Zürich – Paris
Isbn 9783907384039
Publisher Everyedition
Idea code 22585
€ 43.00
Manon is one of the first and perhaps also best-known Swiss performance artists. After moving from Zurich to Paris in 1978, she began shooting photographic scenes in staged environments. In these, she often chose to address the social construction of identity. The photographs that comprise this book are mostly based on sketches and notes for her well-known series from the late 1970s entitled “La dame au crane rasé” (The Woman with the Shaved Head). Never before published, they evolved in the period between 1977 and 1980, and were only recently discovered in the cellar of the artist’s house due to a water problem. Edited and designed by Chris Eggli.

In the fourth title of the acclaimed DecadentEditions series, Dennis Lim explores the oeuvre of South Korean auteur Hong Sangsoo via his 2005 film. Forty minutes in, we realise we’ve been watching a film within the film. The ‘real’ characters leave the cinema and find themselves reenacting what they just saw, as a chance encounter invites a suicide pact. Is it life imitating art, or the other way around?

Fiona Tan - Mountains and Molehills

Publisher Nai010 Publishers
Idea code 22636
€ 24.95
How are memories preserved - in archives, in minds, in the landscape, and on film? Visual artist and filmmaker Fiona Tan (1966, Indonesia) investigates ways in which time is recorded. This publication focuses on her works Gray Glass (2020), Inventory (2012) and Footsteps (2022), key works in the eponymous exhibition at Eye Filmmuseum. Hanneke Grootenboer reflects on the way in which looking, thinking, and time converge in Tan's work. In doing so, she places the oeuvre in a broad historical and philosophical context of visual culture. In an interview with Dana Linssen, Tan provides insight into her creative process and shares thoughts on exhibiting her work.

Idea code 22643
€ 45.00
Johan van der Keuken (1938–2001) was a Dutch writer, photographer, and cinematographer who gained recognition both nationally and internationally for images, photobooks, and films that oscillate between visual poetry and documentary. His work is usually considered part of the tradition of Dutch documentary photography and film, in which humanism is significant. His sensitive gaze, which emphasises the importance of concentrated looking and perceiving as well as thinking visually, places him among the standout post-war photographers from the Netherlands. This book is published to mark a large retrospective on Van der Keuken at the Nederlands Fotomuseum.

Walking from Scores

Publisher Les Presses Du Reel
Idea code 22567
€ 32.25
'Walking from Scores' is a hundred or so collection of non site-specific protocols, instructions and textual and graphic scores centred on walking, listening and playing sound in urban environment. It explores the relationship between art and the everyday, the dynamics of sound and listening in various environments and the (porous) frontiers between artists and audiences. It starts with two premises: an interest in walking envisaged as a relational practice and tactic enabling us to read and rewrite space; an interpretation of scores understood as open invitations and catalysers of action in the tradition of Fluxus event scores.

Deen van Meer – We are such stuff
Isbn 9789462264397
Publisher Lecturis
Idea code 22523
€ 48.50
Stories are told in the theatre. Stories that touch us, confront us with ourselves, the other and society. Stories that give meaning and hold up a mirror, always in a different way. In this way we, the public, can reflect on ourselves and the world around us, with a smile or a tear.Van Meer finds it fascinating to record these stories, to depict the magic of the theatre. It is always a challenge to capture the power of a performance, the emotion of an actor, the beauty of a dancer in a stilled image. An image that, apart from the performance, also has a right to exist and tells its own story.
