Heap-O-Livin’ - Lora Webb Nichols
Isbn 9789083451091
Publisher Fw: Books
Idea code 250530
€ 48.65
'Heap-O-Livin' features a selection of images by Wyoming photographer and diarist Lora Webb Nichols (1883–1962). Nichols created and collected approximately 24,000 negatives and 65 years of diaries throughout her lifetime in the town of Encampment. In addition to the industrial and economic aspects of this sparsely populated ranching and copper mining town, Lora’s images and diaries documented the lives of the girls and women within private households. Despite the inherent isolation created by geography, the long brutal winters, and the patriarchal ideology that undervalued the role of women in Encampment in the late 19th and early 20th century, a robust female-led community emerged that provided a network of spiritual and emotional support. This was cultivated through the habitual visitations of immediate and extended family and friends into each other’s homes during their transition from children to wives and mothers. In Nichols’ sphere, these visitations often involved the act of picture-making.

Ying Ang – Fruiting Bodies
Isbn 9781922545442
Publisher Perimeter Editions
Idea code 250511
€ 49.55
Visual artist Ying Ang reimagines the mushroom as both a biological form and feminist metaphor – an emergent, generative force that challenges dominant narratives of fertility and the female body. She examines how the fetishisation of fertility shapes cultural perceptions of women, nature, and reproduction, questioning whether growth and abundance must always serve a reproductive imperative. The fungal model is a form of fertility that is rhizomatic rather than hierarchical, collective rather than possessive, disruptive rather than obedient. Just as mycelium persists unseen beneath the forest floor, connecting and shaping ecosystems, women continue to shape society in profound ways.

Eddy van Wessel - Ukraine
Isbn 9789083519739
Publisher Fw: Books
Idea code 250488
€ 48.65
In UKRAINE, photojournalist Eddy van Wessel documents a raw account of three years of war in Ukraine through (analogue) photography and firsthand testimonies. With decades of experience covering conflict zones, he focuses on what war means for those living through it – the soldiers on the front lines, civilians sheltering in devastated towns and cities, and those forced to flee. His images capture the visible destruction and the psychological and emotional toll of prolonged violence, making this book a visual and narrative testimony with a complex and layered depiction that is reflecting on the human cost of the largest war in Europe since World War II. It explores displacement, survival, and the boundaries of humanity in times of crisis. Where does humanity end and inhumanity begin? How do individuals maintain dignity and resilience under constant threat? What does survival look like when basic needs – and life itself – are no longer guaranteed?

Bas Ketelaars – Edges of Landscape
Isbn 9789493363205
Publisher The Eriskay Connection
Idea code 250548
€ 34.05
Is nature a place, an all-encompassing system, or an ideal that we carry within us? The work of Bas Ketelaars (NL) emerges from an interest in the problem of representing nature. A nature that is unreachably far away and yet all around us. Ketelaars explores the landscape in a personal and experiential way, interested in both the means of photography and drawing, in order to create images where different systems produce the image together. Edges of Landscape is a work in itself in which Ketelaars combines his photographic material with drawings in an experimental manner for the first time.

Camille Llobet - Glacier noir
Isbn 9789464460834
Publisher Roma Publications
Idea code 250485
€ 27.25
Invited to exhibit on the Mauvoisin Dam in Switzerland, Camille Llobet created a photographic series capturing a glacial landscape in transition. Shot on and around the moraines of the Mer de Glace, the images reveal a layered world of rock, ice, and sediment - remnants of a largely vanished glacier. Through diptychs that often exclude the sky and horizon, Llobet invites viewers to re-experience the scale and materiality of this grey-toned terrain. The book also features an in-depth interview with Jean-Paul Felley, in which Llobet discusses her working process, collaboration with geomorphologists, and the choreography of mountain landscapes in flux.

Raymond Thompson Jr – It’s hard to stop rebels that time travel
Isbn 9786185479404
Publisher Void
Idea code 250555
€ 44.95
Through the use of archival fragments, historic ephemera and his own photographs, artist Raymond Thompson Jr focuses on previously concealed stories of slaves, maroons, and runaways. ‘It’s hard to stop rebels that time travel’ aims to expand narratives about the Black experience and connection to the ‘American’ landscape. The project is centered around the city of New Bern, North Carolina in the US—established in 1710 as hub for the trade of human beings —an area rich with historic moments. Many maroons—enslaved people who had escaped their captors but chose not flee to the north— inhabited the liminal spaces in the vicinity. They created lives in hard access swamps or in the ungoverned wild spaces between plantations and their survival strategies and techniques can be thought of as ‘freedom practices.’ The materials in the book reach through time to these maroons of the 18th century and connect them to both the contemporary landscape and the viewer. The slim, rectangular design of the book itself, echoes the format of a travel guide or field notebook to be slipped in a pocket to be of use on a journey.

Yan Wang Preston – With love from an invader. - Rhododendrons, Empire, China and Me
Isbn 9789493363212
Publisher The Eriskay Connection
Idea code 250538
€ 34.05
'With Love. From an Invader. – Rhododendrons, Empire, China and Me' is an intensive field study. Every other day for a year, Yan Wang Preston (CN/GB) went to a particular love-heart-shaped 'Rhododendron ponticum' shrub and photographed it. In the process she also found a thriving ecology with the rhododendrons as the key stone species. British rhododendrons are all introduced plants, brought from southern Europe and East Asia for science and horticulture. Although still common and a much-loved sight in most British gardens, it is often labelled as non-native invasive. The contested perceptions of rhododendrons suggest that politics is at play within the apparent objectivity of science. The book is a love letter from a non-native species to the cosmopolitan ecology of contemporary Britain.

Between Palestine and us - testimonies of the 2024 student uprising in Amsterdam

Publisher Spookstad
Idea code 250487
€ 19.50
The first book about the global student movement in solidarity with Palestine, 'Between Palestine and us' documents and recounts the student uprising in Amsterdam in May 2024. Denouncing the complicity of their university and government in the destruction of Gaza, student protesters and other activists rose up across the city. They engaged in massive protests, organized encampments and occupations, and built barricades wherever they went. At once an activist archive and counter-history, this book documents the events from the position of the participants. Through art and literature, in addition, it reflects on the necessity and limits of resistance, painting a stirring picture of international solidarity with Palestine.

Publisher Luhz Press

€ 57.65
TORNADO by Jackie Furtado and Jennifer Haare showcases a mustang’s journey in the Sonoran Desert. Through a careful sequencing of film stills taken by a GoPro camera - suspended from the belly of a bolting horse - examines motion and its trance-like quality by way of consumer technology. A motion study in book form, the photographs begin to spiral through the layout like a slow-moving tornado as the images succeed into abstraction. Including a text by writer and Art Historian Kim Beil, TORNADO makes photography a subject to consider, questioning how aspiration and control influence the present day image economy.

Daido Moriyama: Record 59

Idea code 250029

In the year 2025, Daido Moriyama will turn 87. The year also marks the nineteenth year since relaunching his own photo magazine, ‘Record’. It was in a café on top of a building in the middle of Shinjuku (long since gone) where Moriyama received a request from Akio Nagasawa, the current publisher, to relaunch the handmade and privately pressed zine that had failed and folded after the fifth issue, more than 30 years ago. So, for the next two decades, most of the snapshots taken during the second half of the photographer’s career, even pictures from various travels and shoots abroad, ended up being published in ‘Record’. Everything is a memory, a souvenir, a record in itself.

€ 36.10
Ailsa Craig, also known as Paddy's milestone, is a 338 meter high, uninhabited island off the coast of Scotland. The island’s granite in particular has played an important role in local history and has become synonymous with curling, with many of the world's esteemed leagues using stones sourced from the island. Driessen shows the process of creating these curling stones and combines photographs of the raw material with images of human intervention and the actual island. With a clear connection to nature, he shows how humans use our environment and the effort we put into shaping our world.

Khalid Hadid
- Disasters of War
Isbn 9783950277364
Publisher Fraglich Publishing
Idea code 250351
€ 30.00
The story behind the images begins when an 11-year-old boy, Khalid Hadi, was made a photographer at a relief foundation in Kandahar for victims of the Soviet-Afghan war. He portrayed casualties of the conflict with a wooden box camera for three years. Later, he took pictures for the Taliban, but then fled to the United States, where by chance he met photographer Edward Grazda. This book illustrates a fraction of Khalid’s photographs. The silent beauty of the weathered images suggests the shocking violence of an outrageous occupation. A piece of history almost forgotten outside of Afghanistan, it marks the very beginnings of certain international terrorist groups today.

‘MUG SHOT’ casts its gaze over the wide range of compulsory identity photography stored in historic archives around the world. Whether the individuals pictured were actually guilty criminals in the eyes of the law or innocent victims of persecution, racial agendas, political prisoners, or war camp internees, the legacy of bureaucracy does not seem to differentiate – our administrative records are filled with representations of persons who acted against those in charge. Compiled by Austrian photographer and archivist Lukas Birk, all photographs appearing in this book are in the public domain.

€ 38.80
'Losing North' centres on the Iraqo-Syrian region during the period of Daesh’s control. Carine Krecké explores themes of mass surveillance, war, violence, and terrorism. Her work uses - and at times subverts - forensic-style investigative techniques such as open-source data analysis and geospatial intelligence. These documentary projects blur the boundaries between fact and fiction, truth and falsehood, past and present, and even between author and protagonist. Krecké’s investigations span several years, involving the creation of complex archives, especially maps. To translate technical data into an artistic language, she works across diverse media, from visual art to literature.

Drawing on declassified U.S. government archives relating to Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) from 1947 to 1969, this project offers an iconographic journey through the visual and contextual documents that shaped the emergence of a ufological imaginary. Sourced from military and governmental investigations (Sign, Grudge, Blue Book), these images embody a paradox: they are both traces of an elusive phenomenon and vessels of a narrative that surpasses us. They imprint upon the photographic medium the strangeness of a world for which we may not yet have the tools to fully grasp its existence.

Jochen Lempert - Local Ecology. Kastellorizo
Isbn 9788880563068
Publisher Nero
Idea code 250553
€ 26.90
Known for his black-and-white photography and background in biology, Lempert turns his lens to the subtle presences of animal, vegetal, and mineral life on this remote Mediterranean island. In a series of quietly observational images, he documents the island’s micro-ecologies with the precision of a field biologist and the sensitivity of an artist attuned to form, light, and chance. Eschewing dramatic framing and post-production, Lempert relies on natural light, analog processes, and a sharp sense of timing. The result is a slow, intimate portrait of a place where natural history and daily life are intertwined, and where the ephemeral and the enduring coexist. More than a record of a specific geography, Local Ecology. Kastellorizo explores themes of observation, belonging, and the fragile ecosystems that sustain life in isolated environments. The photographs were taken in the summer of 2019 during a residency at La Società delle Api in Kastellorizo, Greece, conceived by Cristiano Raimondi.

Rather than framing sweeping ecological narratives, Local Ecology. Moulin des Ribes focuses on overlooked interdependencies and fleeting presences. Like field notes rendered in silver gelatin, the work invites a slower, more attentive way of seeing - where observation becomes a form of ecological engagement.

The end of the GDR was not the end of its images. What perspectives do we choose to construct our view of a society whose inner realities still leave many questions unanswered? This book examines the final years of the GDR and the early post-reunification period. It brings together both well-known figures in photographic art and largely forgotten photographers – most of whom lived in the GDR – alongside perspectives from international photographers who captured the country from the outside. The images span documentary practices as well as artistic and staged imagery, and include hybrid forms like photo-film, while texts by renowned authors offer a multi-perspective view.

Medical eponyms are denominations of syndromes, diseases and discoveries that carry the name of the scientist who first isolated and described them. To this day, numerous eponyms controversially perpetuate the memory of doctors who worked under and were part of the Nazi regime. ‘The Weight of the Word’ is an extended visual essay combining archival images and texts to explore the biographies and work of nine Nazi doctors. It examines their scientific research and the subsequent damnatio memoriae following the condemnation of their actions, and offers a holistic view that intertwines their achievements, crimes, and the complex legacies they left behind.

Through encounters with objects, people, and animals, fragments of family archives, and introspective landscapes, the Italian photographer explores how childhood experiences can settle over time and reshape the narrative of who we become. At first glance, the black-and-white images in this series seem disconnected and distant, yet on closer inspection the depths of Papucci’s emotional landscape is revealed.

Rather than documenting the journey in a conventional manner, he seeks to convey its essence and fleeting impressions. His intuitive and experimental approach aligns perfectly with Belmond’s limited-edition book series, which invites contemporary photographers to go beyond mere representation and offer an artistic, singular vision of the places they explore.

Seeking a fresh perspective on travel photography, he moves beyond mere documentation, focusing instead on intricate details and abstract elements, departing from conventional depictions of the island. Devoid of human presence, his photographs exude tranquillity and mystery, evoking moments of grace that feel like faded memories shaped by the passage of time. To further enrich the project, Jeano invited author Ryan Hart to contribute, adding a poetic layer that enhances the book’s modern and evocative aesthetic.
