Ruth van Beek & Mariken Wessels - Fruits of Labor
Isbn 9789072532558
Publisher Van Zoetendaal Publishers
Idea code 23086
€ 22.00
The Ravestijn Gallery brings together new work by Dutch artists Ruth van Beek and Mariken Wessels. Their mutual interest in exploring the act of creation and their interventions in existing material overlap to form a powerful reflection on the female artist. In Van Beek’s spatial installation of collages, ordinary objects take on a body and life of their own. She explores the thin borders between studio and domestic life, the repetition of daily tasks, and the origins of her interest in manuals and household books. In the new series of sculptures and collage works by Wessels, it is the female body that becomes matter. With poems by Basje Boer and an essay by Robert Petzoldt.

Wildflowers - Photos by Hans Bruggeman and Lotus Michiko Bruggeman Thieme
Isbn 9789090366555
Publisher Lotus Michiko Bruggeman Thieme
Idea code 23051
€ 59.00
For almost half a century, boxes filled with photographs by Hans Bruggeman had been waiting patiently in the family home until the day his daughter, Lotus, would find them. Portraits of people her father associated with in the 1960s and ’70s in Amsterdam. Years when the Dutch capital flourished as a progressive and artistic haven, when counterculture, experimentation, and the spirit of the underground emerged to define the city’s cultural life. It was the time of Provo, De Kabouters, happenings, and the liberalisation of drugs and sexuality. ‘Wildflowers’ assembles more than a hundred photos in a single volume, lovingly selected by Lotus and with a musical playlist to match.

Trigger 4: Together
Isbn 9789083285825
Publisher Fw: Books
Idea code 23094
€ 21.00
While collaborative practices are not new to documentary photography, the national, environmental, and digital contexts in which people are “making together” have been changing to a large degree. Today’s topical issues have made the need to question myths and ideologies related to photographic authorship more urgent. Increasingly, photographers are integrating participatory, collaborative practices into their documentary projects. The fourth issue of ‘Trigger’ looks at how togetherness leads in different and often opposing directions. It can be bordered, but also thrive in the borderlands. With contributions by Kaali Collective, Hettie Judah, Rehab Eldalil, and more.

Gianluca Calise - Utopia Ending

Publisher The Velvet Cell
Idea code 23077
€ 49.00
Gianluca Calise specialises in long-term documentary photography projects. His research focuses on social issues and themes related to identity, belonging, and memory. His book ‘Utopia Ending’, with photographs taken in the period 2014–2019, looks at the urban transformation of London since the 2012 Olympics. Through images and text, including three interviews and an essay, he compares the city’s current finance-driven development with post-war expansion based on council houses. Investments in social housing have been almost entirely eradicated and now the new buildings are more financial assets for global investors rather than actual homes for Londoners.

Ewan Telford - Ecology of Dreams
Isbn 9781908889805
Publisher The Velvet Cell
Idea code 23080
€ 45.95
The last outpost of the American West, Los Angeles might be described as the culmination of cultural history in the United States. Ewan Telford’s vision of the city is not that of “Tinseltown” and Californian sun and surf, as it is commonly (mis)understood, but that of a 21st-century megalopolis after 40 years of neoliberal capitalism. It is a city of corporate empires and militarised police, gated communities and environmental catastrophe. But Los Angeles is also a city of unfathomable mystery and strange beauty. ‘The Ecology of Dreams’ is a superbly photographed and annotated subjective compendium of the city’s collective unconscious, its memories, history, and fictions.

Fabio Magara – Protocollo K.
Isbn 9791280750099
Publisher Danilo Montanari
Idea code 23072
€ 43.00
Fabio Magara’s fascinating ‘Protocollo K.’ tells the story of the Republic of Cospaia, a microstate located between Umbria and Tuscany that existed between 1441 and 1826. Born due to a cartographic error between the Papal States and the Florentine Republic, Cospaia remains a historically unique case of anarchist republic, with no laws other than that of the supreme “Perpetua et Firma Libertas”. To tell this story, Magara imagines the Cospaia period did not end in 1826, but continued until the 1930s. He imagines himself as an agent of Italy’s fascist police, sent to Cospaia to collect information, documents, and photographs in order to compile a protocol for his superiors.

Thomas Sauvin - Verso

Publisher RVB Books
Idea code 23027
€ 48.40
With VERSO Thomas Sauvin revisits his collection of ID photos amassed in China over the last fifteen years. By exposing them to a strong light source, the characters inscribed on the back of the prints show through by transparency and materialize on unfamiliar faces. These handwritten notes provide us with allusive pieces of information about unknown people who obviously no longer belong to our world. It is as if the fusion of the front and back sides, by bringing a face and modest biographical elements into the same level, opened up a new register, that of a latent encounter between an image and its hidden side.
