Looking back to losing both his parents just 22 days apart when he was only three years old, Salih Basheer presents poignant memories and images in this moving visual narrative of loss and healing.

Hans van der Meer – Minor Mysteries
Isbn 9789083225173
Publisher Fw: Books
Idea code 22755
€ 35.00
Inspired by legendary street photographers, Hans van der Meer left for Budapest in the fall of 1984. ‘Minor Mysteries’ reflects what fascinated Van der Meer as a young and curious outsider in a country that at first sight seemed alienating and distant. Without a preconceived plan, he let his intuition guide him, wandering the streets like a director collecting scenes for a script. This is how he stumbled upon wonderous, playful, and at times tragicomic situations. In retrospect, the series is like a monument to an era in transition. An era nearing its end, in a city in the heart of Europe that seemed battered under the weight of history, but with hope for something new.

Viktor Hübner – The Americans I Met
Isbn 9782492696077
Publisher Andre Frere Editions
Idea code 22767
€ 52.70
The title of Viktor Hübner’s immersive series is perhaps too modest for the scope of the project and the ambition behind it. Styled after the American road trip, he not only photographed people and places but also engaged the strategies of conceptual and performance art. He made rules, set up a system, and went where the process took him. With only enough money for food and film, he covered 16,000 miles between 2017 and 2019, a first-hand witness to the “culture wars” of the Trump presidency. His experience reveals it is not just a question of monolithic nationalism or racism, but a profound sense of fragmentation that reaches much deeper than any labels.

Somewhere - Lisa Klapstock
Isbn 9781778284700
Publisher Something to think about
Idea code 22763
€ 39.50
Toronto-based artist Lisa Klapstock photographed cultural bookstores in Berlin, Paris, and New York over the years, resulting in this artist book. She began by photographing books, eventually shifting her gaze to the people interacting with books, showing how the mostly solitary, immersive act of reading can make everything else fall away. Her abstract pictures are rich in colour and pattern and often combined with multiple perspectives, alluding to the worlds hidden in books, evoking landscapes, cityscapes, or interiors. Klapstock’s work focuses on everyday places and the ways they are occupied by people. She has exhibited widely in North America and Europe.

1,2,3... Couleur! L'Autochrome exposée
Isbn 9782915704952
Publisher Jeu De Paume
Idea code 22749
€ 10.20
Symbolizing the arrival of color in photography, the autochrome constitutes one of the great revolutions in the history of the medium. Appeared in 1907 and following a great craze, it gradually fell into a long period of oblivion from which a few historians and collectors, who knew how to appreciate the finesse and sensuality, gradually draw it. Accompanying the exhibition at the Château de Tours, this album is a contribution to this history in progress, in the hope that they will allow to sensitize the public to this so particular poetry of the autochrome. It crosses two collections: on the one hand, the AN collection, gathered since 2006 by the collectors Soizic Audouard and Élisabeth Nora, and on the other hand the fascinating collection of autochromes from the First World War housed by the Médiathèque de la photographie et du patrimoine.

Cato Lein – Northern Silence
Isbn 9782492696091
Publisher Andre Frere Editions
Idea code 22768
€ 41.95
The images appearing in ‘Northern Silence’ were taken over a period of 25 years, from the mid-1980s to 2012, at the far northern tip of Norway, where photographer Cato Lein grew up, in Finnmark. The mood is dull, with a blackness that reminds one of the sharp contrasts belonging to social documentary, rather than classic landscape photography. Over the last 50 years, the appearance of the Varanger Peninsula has changed dramatically. It has become warmer and the tundra is on the verge of disappearing. Moss grows on the bare granite mountains of the past, and Arctic birches are being replaced by southern varieties. A melancholy look at a transformed place. The book has been nominated for the Swedish Photobook Award 2023.

Publisher Everyedition
Idea code 22745
€ 32.25
Graphic designer Alberto Vieceli presents 110 postcards from the time before Google Maps existed. While postcard collectors consider those with writing on the picture side as inferior, the artist presents his personal collection of postcards featuring small interventions. Made with crosses, arrows, circles, or comments, their purpose was to give the receiver more precise information, such as the position of the hotel where the sender stayed or where they laid on the beach, therefore making “the observer an accomplice.” With an introduction by Max Küng, who also contributed a postcard, every book also comes with an original postcard selected by the artist.

Becoming Van Leo

Idea code
€ 71.50
Becoming Van Leo is a study of the life and times of the late Armenian-Egyptian photographer. Born in 1921, Leon Boyadjian would come to be known as Van Leo, one of the most singular twentieth-century studio photographers in the Arab world. Van Leo left behind him a 60-year body of portraiture and self-portraiture work, as well as professional and personal documents. Drawing on this abundant archive from the collections of the AIF—its most iconic one—and the American University in Cairo, in addition to accounts of people who knew him, the publication intricately narrates the story of the photographer and the man, contemplates the complex practice of commemoration, and reflects on the task of the archivist, the curator, the designer, and the author at large.

Israel Ariño - On nous a dit qu'il n'y avait rien et nous sommes allés le chercher
Isbn 9788409447909
Publisher Ediciones Anómalas
Idea code 22731
€ 35.75
This book is the result of the collaboration between photographer Israel Ariño and anthropologist, Irma Estrada. Their complementary perspectives drove this photographic project set in the region of Amiens in Northern France, where they spent three periods of several weeks together. Developed in two movements, through the action of walking, and of the continuous interrogation to strike up a dialogue about possible realities, Ariño and Estrada also found a connection with the people of the region and a realisation of how much they all had in common. Ariño’s bold black and white images document their time there, while Estrada offers insights into their process and shared experience.

She had moved to the UK to study art and graphic design, and worked for more than ten years for magazines and newspapers in London.

A visual meditation on the nature of belonging, Konstantakou’s dreamy images pull you into her world, celebrating the wonder of an ordinary life. There is also is a text from Joanna L. Cresswell included.

Publisher Yundler Brondino Verlag
Idea code 22744
€ 28.00
‘Youth’ is the first publication of evocative images from Israeli photographer, Alon Shastel. It is an intimate journey through a selection of his work from the past decade as he captures the raw spirit and soft sensuality of the youths he photographs. Shastel’s keen eye for light and composition pays homage to this coming-of-age period that is both challenging and exuberant, inspiring artists for generations. The photographer learned photography from the young age of ten, and learned to develop analog images in a dark room in the back of an old bus. He feels that he can establish a closer connection to his early memories of Israel through the medium of film.
