Daido Moriyama - Record 31

Akio Nagasawa 2016 no ISBN Acqn 26625
Pb 21x28cm 144pp 100ills 48.95
This instalment of Daido Moriyamas diary-like journal contains a mixture of snapshots he made
whenever he was visiting Paris for his second solo exhibition, Daido Tokyo, which was held at the
Fondation Cartier pour lart contemporain in 2016. Also included are shots he made in Tokyo both
before and after travelling to Paris, making it, in his own words, a tentative tale of two cities.
Moriyama considers Paris something like an adopted second home, and moreover holds the city
in high regard with respect to its role in the history of photography and photographers alike. The
journal consists of the typically shot street scenes and urban details that proliferate throughout his
oeuvre.

Jeanne Mandello - Views of the world

Fotohof 2016 ISBN 9783902993335 Acqn 26750
Pb 25x21cm 86pp 90ills 22col 18
The German-Jewish photographer Johanna/Jeanne Mandello trained in 1920s Berlin, emigrated
to and worked in Paris in the 1930s, felt French by choice, but was in danger in Germany as well
as in France during the Nazi regime. She finally found refuge in Uruguay and Brazil before
returning to Europe in the late 1950s. She thus had no choice but to become a cosmopolitan
person, embracing many different countries and cultures. Her natural sense of curiosity combined
with her life experiences opened her eyes and mind to any and all new influences and
impressions. With her camera, she engaged with all facets of her exile. She observes, interprets
and creates a view of the world through her lens and according to her interests. Although and
precisely because a major part of her work was lost in occupied France, it is worthwhile to
discover the selection of her work documented in this catalogue that firmly puts Jeanne Mandello
among women pioneers of 20th century photography.

Christian Wachter - Obergrenze (Fuga)

Hb 17x25cm 104pp 68col ills 22.95
In the course of what has been referred to as the refugee crisis since the summer of 2015 the
term upper limit was introduced into the Austrian domestic political debate as both a theoretical
and, thereafter, factual notion. In his new artists book featuring photographs of Christian
churches in central Europe loosely alternating with images of swarms of birds in the Algerian
skies, Christian Wachter wonders whether in the dispute over the right of asylum and basic
existential provision (...) it might not be better to relate that upper limit to top incomes and
assets?. Wachter spans an associative network of formal and substantive levels of meaning,
referencing on the one hand the contrapuntal music form of the fugue, Lat. fuga i.e. flight,
running away and the widespread fears relating to differences in religious confessions and
cultures.

Elfriede Mejchar - Road Trip

Hb 30x33cm 88pp 58ills 30
Elfriede Mejchar, the grande dame of Austrian photography, helped write the history of Austrian
photography with her series of photo-documentary studies on the outskirts of Vienna in the
1960s. As a professional photographer for the Austrian Federal Office for the Protection of
Monuments she helped capture for posterity many of the countrys art treasures in specific
regions of Austria, first and foremost Lower Austria, Upper Austria and Styria. At the same time,
i.e. roughly between 1960 and 1990, she compiled a collection of landscape photographs, from
the roadside as it were, as part of her travels, her Road Trips through Austria. They featured wild
sculptures in the form of electricity pylons, scarecrows, car wrecks, and the dilapidated faades of
houses. After numerous exhibition catalogues and monographs, an artists book entitled Road
Trip has now been published for the first time. Elfriede Mejchar has once again embarked on a
journey, this time through her personal photo archive, re-examining and shaping it into an
impressive and visually stunning epic.

Enda Bowe - At Mirrored River

Pb 23x28cm 64pp 35col ills 34
Enda Bowes project At Mirrored River was inspired by the Gaelic word Teannalach (pron.
chann-ah-lack). Teannalach is a Gaelic word used in the West of Ireland that means
awareness, the awareness of who we are, the questions we ask and the dreams we project. It is
about the teannalach of a place. It was important for the artist to construct an unrecognisable
geographical picture of a town that didnt have recognizable iconic images, to avoid the obvious.
Bowe looks at the ordinary every day spaces we inhabit and our ordinary daily lives because for
him, the ordinary is where all the of the universal beauty, magic and possibilities lye.
The respected Scottish poet John Glenday has also contributed a beautiful poem that will be
used as the introduction to the book. Award winning playwright and author Lucy Caldwell has
contributed a new short story. The extra contributions stand on their own as independent pieces
within the book, but resonate within the notes of the work.

Julia Steinigeweg - Ein Verwirrendes Potenzial (a Confusing Potential)

Peperoni Books 2016 ISBN 9783941825925 Acqn 26660
Hb 24x33cm 48pp 21col ills 41
This series by Julia Steinigeweg is based on the relationships humans can form with silicon dolls.
Such a circumstance lacks the emotional element of a physical human counterpart, but also
causes a feeling of unease through a strong objective presence, which has been designed by
manufacturers and artisans to be eerily lifelike. Perhaps the main reason for acquiring such a doll
is its sexual attractiveness, yet the couples portrayed in the series tend to have a soothing
relationship, free of fear and loss of control. Do love and coexistence require the exchange of
feelings? Or do we ultimately feel and love by ourselves, detached from each other despite a
physical counterpoint?

Dmitry Lookianov - Instant Tomorrow

Pb 22x26cm 104pp 49col ills 36.50
Russian photographer Dmitry Lookianov finds his subjects in the high-rises of Moscows suburbs,
mystifying the demystified surroundings. White and grey dominate, with pastel pinks and blues
injecting a seemingly premeditated comfort. The human subjects dispassionate and
experienced consumers, inhabitants of the future are engaged with various gadgets and
machines, acting out a world of simulacra where problems such as ageing, illness, or death can
be solved. We observe in them an expectation of sensations, or at least their belief that these
magical objects will deliver such sensations. This illusion of control is at the root of Lookianovs
clinical and uncanny images.

Torsten Schumann - More Cars, Clothes And Cabbages

The absurd story about a black dot and a passport control at the beginning of this book says a lot
about Torsten Schumann and his view of the world. In short, life in the civilised world is full of
curiosities. Schumann photographs ostensibly mundane scenes that nonetheless cause the
viewer to pause, to chuckle or marvel at their accidental ingenuity. He has a keen eye for the
improbable as it infiltrates the everyday, and for unremarkable detail framed in such a way as to
make it suddenly remarkable. His skill as a photographer lies in the juxtapositions he plucks from
the world around us, be it dirty towels draped over traffic cones or cabbages parked against a
shiny tin facade.

Josee Schryer - Sur-la-Rouge

After a twelve-year separation from her father, photographer Jose Schryer returned to Grenvillesur-la-Rouge in Quebec, Canada, with a daughter that he had never met and a deep longing for
the landscape of her childhood. Through the uncomfortable weight of their past mistakes and
decisions, the artist and her father reconnect. The narrative is framed by green, forested hills and
narrow roads. Winter arrives and snowy landscapes form a backdrop for scattered deer and a
cosy, wood-panelled house. We observe a young girl as she discovers this new world, wandering
among the rocks outdoors or sitting patiently, piecing together a jigsaw puzzle. Slowly, the
distance melts away.

Janine Graubaum - Kosmos Train

Thousands of kilometres by rail from Albania to Belarus and beyond. Attracted by the charm of
old Soviet trains, photographer Janine Graubaum travelled to Eastern Europe in 2010, and again
from 2013 to 2015. Her discoveries about the everyday life of travellers, who often spend days
and nights in the trains, are published in this long-term documentary photo project that covers
multiple journeys and places. Making her way through Serbia, Macedonia, Romania, Moldova,
Ukraine, Russia, Uzbekistan, and more, whether in a sleeper car or a luxury carriage, she is fully
aware of the microcosms inherent to train travel, as people and goods are transported across
vast distances and landscapes.

Heiko Sievers - 1980. In Berlin.

Hb 24x22cm 82pp 54ills 33.75
According to Heiko Sievers, who was born and grew up in Berlin, his photographs of West Berlin
in the early 1980s testify to three things: my state of mind in that city at that time; people in the
subway or on the street who were unknown to me; and a specific city atmosphere. With pictures
that are neither portraits nor documentary, the project amounts to his own narrative and
experience of that time and place, offering a record of moments of life through fleeting
impressions in shades of grey. Sievers recognises these images as history; nothing more than an
extract, an intriguing memory of a city that has not existed since more than two decades ago.

Andreas Trogisch - Vineta 1985/1990

Pb 18x24cm 120pp 100ills 36.50
Andreas Trogisch has made photographs for the better part of three decades, but only recently
have any of his images been published. This book combines two series he shot in the streets of
East Berlin, just before and shortly after the fall of the Wall. Portraits from 1985 serious and
uncertain children, optimistic young people, and older men and women who seem disheartened
and disappointed are juxtaposed with the deserted cityscapes of 1990. The demise of the GDR
is tangible: advertising has lost its meaning, facades and vehicles are without a future. Trogisch
documents a visually stunning parable about ongoing, unstoppable social development and
processes of change.

Ed Panar - Animals That Saw Me

The Ice Plant 2016 ISBN 9780989785976 Acqn 26384
Pb 22x18cm 80pp 37ills 36col 28.95
The second volume in Ed Panar's popular and whimsical project photographing animals that
stare back.
Animals That Saw Me, Volume Two presents a new collection of photographs from the
observational wanderings of Ed Panar, author of Animals That Saw Me, Volume One (2011, now
out of print). This body of work, encompassing recent pictures and newly discovered gems from
Panars vast back catalogue, records a series of brief, often strangely amusing moments in which
nonhuman species (mammal, reptile, bird or insect) seem to behold the human photographer.
Edited for the viewers maximum delight, the photos convey a whimsical concept with surprisingly
complex ramifications under the surface. Why do we distinguish between us and them, and
what exists in the space between these distinctions? What does it mean to make eye contact
with another species? What does the presence of a camera add to this phenomenon?
Channelling the same thoughtful humour, wonder and peculiar engagement with the world that
made the first volume of Animals That Saw Me an instant hit, this second instalment also includes
an original essay by acclaimed speculative realist philosopher Timothy Morton.

MAXXI celebrates 70 years of the Republic of Italy with a major photographic exhibition entitled
Extraordinary Visions. Gathering more than 130 images by well-known Italian and international
photographers, it reflects on how the nation has presented itself and been observed. Divided into
four sections that highlight and shape the countrys different identities, the exhibition explores the
physical body, behaviours, customs, identity, and memories of Italy today, but also interprets the
cultural transformations that have come about in recent decades. Detailed texts elucidate each of
the selected contributors, among them Luigi Ghirri, Giovanni Gastel, Paolo Pellegrin, and Petra
Noordkamp.

'Aeronautics in the Backyard' is a catching, fairytale-like photo series about the dream of flying,
freedom, and creativity. In China, in the most unexpected of places, farmers rise up to build their
own aircraft from recycling scrap metal. Some of these aeronauts have worked for decades but
never achieved to get airborne. Xu is driven by questions of why, of all people, Chinese farmers
have the guts and skills to become aeronauts, even though they lack both education and
resources. Their stories, pictures, original sketches, and technical documents are brought
together in the book, unveiling the hidden world of Chinese aeronautics in full detail for the first
time.

Judith Jockel - You Breathe From A Garden In Your Neck

Fw 2016 ISBN 9789490119447 Acqn 26792
This is a book that uses photography to get a grip on something that is lost. In 2011 Judith's best
friend Mieke died; they had shared a friendship and a studio with a garden in Amsterdam Oost.
After her death, Judith uses Mieke's analogue Cambo 8 x 10-inch camera to photograph every
flower in their shared garden. The camera has a technical malfunction, but Mieke kept using it.
The result is a collection of photographs that show the flowers, but the camera is also present
because of light flares on the negative.

Ludion 2016 ISBN 9789491819681 Acqn 26795
Hb 25x32cm 160pp 170ills 85col 36.50
The young Belgian photographer Lara Gasparotto has made her name with a quickly developed
and spontaneous style, by which she documents her own life. In her words, she concocts an
autobiography that holds the middle between dream and reality. Young people are often her
subjects, yet she also photographs landscapes and interiors, and her keen vision is permeated
with an atmosphere of beauty and intimacy. Gasparottos love of the countryside where she grew
up, and to which she often returns, is also readily apparent. With an introduction by Italian art
critic Francesca Alfano Miglietti, this publication presents her new work from the past two years.

'Henk Schiffmacher Photographer' is an extensive overview of Schiffmachers work as a
photographer and, as the title suggests, is all about photography (and not tattoos). Featuring a
wide selection of photographs taken between 1970 and 1985 in Las Vegas, Los Angeles,
Amsterdam, Tokyo, Mumbai, Manilla, San Francisco, and Kuala Lumpur amongst others, one
finds a raw mix of direct analogue shots on society in the 70s and 80s with a rich array of
individuals showing off their best and worst features in front of Henks camera. You will find all
sorts of different stories and people, joined together in a pattern that was Henks incomparably
raw and curious sense of photography.
