Bharat Sikka – The Sapper
Isbn 9789083225197
Publisher Fw: Books
Idea code 22667
€ 40.00
Bharat Sikka’s 'The Sapper' is as multi-layered as the relationship that it narrates between a father and an adult son. Through photography, Sikka creates the possibilities for observation, recollection, close comparison, and collaboration, and gives this long-term project a title that both describes and belies its substance. 'The Sapper' is an entitling that offers up a cue for the viewer: an explanation of the circumstances, behaviours, and predilections that we can read into the portrayal of this former “sapper” of the Indian Army Corps of Engineers. It suggests a double-edged understanding of this father—the push and pull of his sense of selfhood—as both held in his public, now-historical role, and despite of it. The title could be read as holding its subject at an observable distance and implies, perhaps, the urge of an adult child to adopt a vantage point of parity from which to see their father as another adult.

Publisher Void
Idea code 22694

‘Death is Not Here’ is a personal time capsule for a particularly significant period in Wouter van de Voorde’s life. Coinciding with the Covid-19 lockdown, the photographer was also about to become a father for the second time. He reflects on the convergence of life and death. Exploring and photographing the areas surrounding his adoptive homeland give him a sense of belonging.

Julie van der Vaart – Blind Spot
Isbn 9786185479244
Publisher Void
Idea code 22693
€ 42.90
'Blind Spot' was made over the course of six years by photographic artist and educator Julie van der Vaart, who deals with the concepts of imaginary time, questioning if our perception of time is real or a constructed concept that we cannot seem to break free from. She wants to show possible connections and correlations between different elements of life and question our place in the larger scheme of things. The artist shoots most of her work in black and white analogue film, focusing on nature and the human body combined with cosmic themes. She has multiple publications and exhibitions under her belt, and is supported by the Mondriaan Fund.

Tiane Doan na Champassak: Paris - Hollywood
Isbn 9782492175183
Publisher RVB Books
Idea code 22703
€ 34.40
Tiane Doan na Champassak revisits a number of issues from the iconic magazine “Paris-Hollywood”, launched in France in the 1940s. In the middle of its pages, the original magazine had the particularity of offering pin-ups in relief or on tracing paper that the readers could undress. By using his extensive arsenal of postmodern tools, Doan na Champassak cannibalizes the original content with his own photographs, creating a hypnotic dialogue between then and now, recto-verso, dressed-undressed, Bangkok-Paris, Paris-Hollywood. In addition, the alternation between censoring the genitalia and hiding the identity adds a thought-provoking rhythm to the whole.

Sari Soininen - Transcendent country of the mind
Isbn 9789492051899
Publisher The Eriskay Connection
Idea code 22688
€ 30.00
In her early twenties, photographer Sari Soininen regularly and excessively experimented with LSD, which eventually led to an extended psychotic episode that impacted her life in a profound way. ‘Transcendent Country of the Mind’ is a deep dive into encounters with alternative dimensions of reality and perceptions of otherworldly signs around us. Through a kaleidoscope of mesmerising landscapes, unfamiliar portraits, and more, it tells a story of subconsciousness, about the world that resides in the back of our minds. Soininen’s colourful body of work shows our vivid surroundings in all their beauty and darkness, and embraces a journey towards the undiscovered.

Petra Noordkamp – Better not Move
Isbn 9789461400727
Publisher Architectura & Natura
Idea code 22700
€ 39.50
In ‘Better not Move', Petra Noordkamp explores a recurring theme in her work – the influence of dreams, experiences, and memories on the perception of architecture in the public space – on a very personal level. The photographs were made during a residency in Japan, soon after the death of her beloved. Images of stones, walls, moss, tree roots, tea rooms, and architectural spaces are interspersed with memories of her partner in the form of pictures of his things: his dress shirt, a comb, a porcelain dish. The work touches on anguish, grief, emptiness, and spatial experience, but also on how objects and buildings provide support during a period of mourning.

Hans Bol – On My Doorstep
Isbn 9789080876781
Publisher Recto Verso Publications
Idea code 22696
€ 63.00
Hans Bol has been living in the Ooijpolder, in the east of the Netherlands, since 1993. Following an earlier series of landscape photographs of this area which he published in 2004, the pandemic presented the perfect opportunity to further investigate his immediate surroundings. According to Bol, it felt liberating and beneficial to be able to explore the landscape with a calm sort of concentration, a small camera always at hand, making pictures inspired by amazement or chance rather than any preconceived plan. This new series of photos made him more conscious than ever of the significance of the concept of “home”. Includes a text by Dutch behavioural biologist Tijs Goldschmidt, recipient of the 2023 P.C. Hooft Award for his complete oeuvre.

Travels in Sardinia - Through the Mines of Iglesias
Isbn 9782493283122
Publisher Caryatide
Idea code 22706
€ 32.25
'Nelle miniere di Iglesias / Into the Mines of Iglesias' is the first part of an exploration that focuses on soil, excavations, incisions, mutations, transpositions and silence of Sulcis-Iglesiente, a territory marked by an industrial history. A wandering through time and space of a region «built», transformed, crossed by different types of works, infrastructures, relationships between things. These signs, these scars, are today the distinctive features of an extraordinary mining landscape. A space to discover through visual and textual narration. 'Voyages en Sardaigne' is a collection of unconventional thematic guides on this island in the middle of the Mediterranean. They offer to the reader different ways of observation and restitution of its territory, always characterized by an uncertain temporality: the present and the past merge to build a unique landscape, far from the convulsive setting of the contemporaneity.

This project is about erasure; memory, forgetting, data, archives, etcetera. The book 'Nostalgia' contains 300 image descriptions of deleted photographs taken on various digital cameras since the early 2000s and stored on computers, hard drives, and memory cards. Their diverse subjects range from personal moments, to visual note-taking as a mnemonic device, to photos used in artworks. This artists’ book questions tendencies to produce new images and instead moves in the opposite direction by deleting them and creating texts that produce images in the readers mind.

Encyclopaedic in form, Marina Roy’s ‘Queuejumping’ eloquently unspools manifestations of capitalist, colonialist, agrologic, and scientific impulses, all within the context of the letter Q. Roy enlists art writing, poetry, lists, found images, and essays on humankind’s hunger to supersede the Other (in order to uphold what she calls “the vertically directed world”) in this artfully academic work. From queens, queers, quadrupeds, and the Quran, to quick, quiddity, and quotidian, and from millions of years of organic decay to contemplating contemporary art, dive into the origins of hegemonic forces, what is lost by winning, and what can be gained by stepping out of line.

Loosely translated as ‘Grief and Sorrow’, ‘Duelos y Quebrantos’ is a traditional dish from Castilla La Mancha. Historically, it was offered to those who had converted to Christianity, symbolising the break with their ancient religion. Between 2013 and 2018, Sebastián Bruno walked 2,500km through the central Spanish regions of Cuenca, Ciudad Real, Guadalajara, and Toledo. He positions himself as a modern Don Quixote, taking the route from the book ‘Don Quijote de La Mancha.’ Bruno’s black and white photographs offer a glimpse into the everyday lives of the people in this territory, and how their values and traditions have survived the passage of time.
