Salvo 10 - To The Point

Salvo 2017 ISBN 9789082029161 Acqn 28187
Pb 17x24cm 64pp 58ill 29col £28

The search for an answer to the enduring question of the smallest thing in the universe has
evolved along with humanity. The idea that even the smallest particle is divisible into two halves
is mind-boggling. Yet a photograph is indifferent to the size of its subject. What seems
infinitesimally small in reality, becomes big before our eyes. Once photographed, the quark will be
divisible into millions of pixels. Encouraged by this unsolvable enigma, 'Salvo' turns its attention to
the smaller parts of the universe. Produced using Risograph printing, this inspired edition takes
the elementary particle as its subject: the rice grain of the paella, the brick of the building, the star
in the Milky Way.

Michael Ruetz - Sea Change. Facing The Sixties

Nimbus 2017 ISBN 9783038500445 Acqn 28017
Hb 24x31cm 208pp col ills £45

German photographer Michael Ruetz revisits the images he captured in the pivotal decade
between 1964 and 1974, asking himself: "Did I actually see things as I photographed them then?"
Many of these pictures are part of the collective visual consciousness of the period, but are the
most well-known images in fact the essential ones? In this book Ruetz depicts people as he
experienced them at the time, preserving their individual character but with a new eye towards
the choice of details and enlarged sections of photographs. In this way he leaves it up to the
viewer to interpret what is expressed on the faces of the many onlookers, followers, thinkers,
strikers, and fighters.

Sayeda - Women In Egypt

Nimbus 2017 ISBN 9783038500377 Acqn 28038
Pb 22x30cm 288pp col ills £43.95

Between 2014 and 2016, photographer Amelie Losier travelled to Egypt several times. There she
sought to discover what it is like to be a woman in Egypt today. "Sayeda" means "woman" in
Arabic. Losier visited Cairo, Alexandria, and a few places in the countryside, meeting with women
of different ages, social classes, familial status, and religion. She met the women at their homes,
because she wanted them to feel confident in front of her camera. She asked questions and
recorded what they told her, making a portrait in both words and image. She also took pictures in
the streets and in public places, in order to better comprehend the everyday lives of the women.

Per L-B Nilsson - Chigaco Ireland

Art And Theory Publishing 2017 ISBN 9789188031532 Acqn 28046
Hb 30x22cm 112pp ills £47

This book juxtaposes selected street photography from two series by Per L-B Nilsson, a Swedish
photographer who has been making pictures in Ireland since the late 1960s, and who later spent
two years in 1980s Chicago. His approach to the rough, working-class Irish city and its
inhabitants is one of curiosity and candour, which lends his black-and-white images a narrative
dialogue. Likewise, Nilsson's exploration of Chicago, with all its glamour, commerce, and
towering skyscrapers, as well as its slums and cultural poverty, can be viewed as an attempt to
overcome the city's geometry and thereby glean differing roles and perspectives through the eyes
of its citizens.

Christoph Oeschger - They've Made Us Ghosts

Cpress 2017 ISBN 9783952471029 Acqn 28133
Pb 18x29cm 140pp col ills £33

Calais is a bottleneck for refugees in Europe. People from Afghanistan, Iran, Eritrea, Somalia,
Syria, and elsewhere find themselves stranded in the French port on their way to the United
Kingdom, stopped by a complex border control regime comprising surveillance systems, fences,
and militaristic security. Christoph Oeschger captures the perspectives and realities of border
guards and refugees in this new series, exploring the layers of violence embedded there:
displacement, political architecture, statistics, and so on. The emptiness of the places he
photographs and the absence of dramatic scenes act as an echo chamber, reflecting the sense of
void that comes with enforced waiting.

Mike Slack - The Transverse Path

The Ice Plant 2017 ISBN 9780999265505 Acqn 28316
Hb 19x26cm 100pp 50col ills £35

Clouds, electronics, fog, bugs, glass, cellophane, rust, weeds, waves, particles: Mike Slack (born
1970) delves into an overheated terrestrial ecosystem in his new book The Transverse Path (or
Nature's Little Secret), surveying a luminous topography of monumental details and mundane
vistas alike with cosmic curiosity. Transcendental in mood, Slack's vaguely sci-fi photographs
envision a sun-blasted wilderness of synthetic and organic stuff tangled together, flourishing and
disintegrating on its own terms, as if engaged in an ageless negotiation (or flirtation?) just beyond
our grasp. Where does nature end and its opposite begin? And where do people figure into this
balance?

Made primarily around the American Southwest from 2011 to 2017, these vivid photographs-like
a series of thought bubbles in search of a narrative-are concise and direct, yet driven by an
emotional ambivalence that hovers between stark environmental dread and calm intimate reverie.

Alex Webb & Rebecca Norris Webb - Violet Isle

Radius Books 2018 ISBN 9781942185376 Acqn 28232
Hb 26x29cm 144pp 70col ills £49.95

Back in print, this multilayered portrait of "the violet isle"-a little-known name for Cuba inspired by
the rich colour of the soil there-presents an engaging, at times unsettling document of a vibrant
and vulnerable land. It combines two separate photographic visions: Alex Webb's exploration of
street life, with his attuned and complex attention to detail, and Rebecca Norris Webb's
fascination with the unique, quixotic collections of animals she discovered there, from tiny zoos
and pigeon societies to hand-painted natural history displays and quirky personal menageries.

The result is an insightful and intriguing blend of two different aesthetics inspired by Cuba's
existence over the last 50 years in an economic, political, cultural and ecological bubble virtually
untouched by the rest of the world, and unlikely to remain that way for much longer. Award-
winning writer Pico Iyer provides an accompanying essay for this English/Spanish bilingual
edition.

Osmos 2018 ISBN 9780990698012 Acqn 28239
Pb 22x28cm 96pp col ills £21

OSMOS Magazine is "an art magazine about the use and abuse of photography," explains
founder and editor Cay Sophie Rabinowitz (formerly of Parkett and Fantom). The magazine is
divided into thematic sections-some traditional, such as "Portfolio," "Stories" and "Reportage"-and
others more idiosyncratic, such as "Eye of the Beholder," where gallerists discuss the talents they
showcase; and "Means to an End," on the side effects of non-artistic image production. This issue
features an essay by Tom McDonough on Raymond Boisjoly, a portfolio of images by Mishka
Henner as introduced by Kenneth Goldsmith, an interview with David Ogburn by Leslie Hewitt,
Isolde Brielmaier on artists engaging with migration and borders, a reportage from North Korea by
Matthew Connors and a reflection on America's most successful girl group, The Supremes, as
performers who made themselves for and in broadcast media.

Color Works, Solids And Models - Michiel Van Der Zanden

Eriskay Connection 2017 ISBN 9789492051165 Acqn 28268
Pb 21x28cm 32pp col ills £18

In the years after his graduation Michiel van der Zanden (1979) has developed himself in a
unique and consistent way into the artist he is today. His visual constructions contain both ironic
lightness, as sincere wonderment and are rooted in pop culture, virtual games and the images
from his childhood. Small oddities and props in his environment and the scenic decor in the
border region with Belgium, trigger him. Ideas arise here. Van der Zanden takes his conscious
observations, but also his personal memories and the collective past, into the digital world. Here
he can examine his observations, magnify and manipulate them. Using 3D software he recreates
these observations and puts them to his will.

Blauwdruk Publishers 2017 ISBN 9789492474889 Acqn 28355
Hb 35x27cm 132pp 91ills 90col £42.75

In 1992 photographer Wout Berger published Giflandschap (Poisoned Landscape) to wide

acclaim. The book contained photographs of badly polluted locations in the Netherlands. Twenty-
five years later he retraced his footsteps, returning once again to capture the same locations with
his camera. Complementing Berger's intriguing photographs of the fifty locations are introductions
by Frits Giersberg, curator of the Fotomuseum in Rotterdam, and Hans Aarsman, photographer
and picture editor at De Volkskrant newspaper. Soil scientists Theo Edelman and Willem
Hendriks provide a lucid yet impressive account of over 40 years of soil remediation in the
Netherlands.

Keith Calhoun And Chandra McCormick - Louisiana Medley

Frist Center for Visual Arts 2018 ISBN 9780998681771 Acqn 28231
Hb 28x27cm 136pp 94col ills £24.95

Louisiana Medley celebrates the 30-year collaboration of photographers Keith Calhoun (born
1955) and Chandra McCormick (born 1957). Partners in life and work, the two have worked
together to document African American life in and around their native New Orleans. Calhoun and
McCormick's photographs show the artists in tune with each other as well as the rich complexity
of Louisiana identity, from the local street culture and parades of their city to life in the Louisiana
State Penitentiary, locally known as "Angola." Their intimate understanding of labor practices and
prison culture has informed their activism, around Angola and outside its walls. The
photographers' activism-and their appreciation for their city's stubborn, fragile beauty-has only
grown since Hurricane Katrina. Louisiana Medley surveys Calhoun and McCormick's work over
the course of three decades, revealing how the two photographers have used their cameras as
tools for social engagement.

Photography in Service of Racial Politics - Anna Koppitz's Works for Reich Minister R.
Walther Darre
Fotohof 2018 ISBN 9783902993557 Acqn 28117
Pb 16x22cm 120pp 53ills £11

Photography was Reichsminister Richard Walther Darré’s medium of choice for illustrating and
disseminating his ‘blood and soil’ ideology. The protagonists staged before the camera at his
request consisted of athletic youths from the Bauernschaft farming community specially educated
at the Burg Neuhaus Reichsschule. It was onto their bodies that he projected his utopian notions
of the ‘Nordic Race’ and of farmers as Germany’s genetic future. Working for him was Viennese
photographer Anna Koppitz, the widow of the renowned photographer Rudolf Koppitz. Her
photographs were modelled partly on the elaborate body studies perfected by her husband and
partly on the contemporary sports photography in the style of Leni Riefenstahl: a highly explosive
mix that was ideally suited for propaganda purposes.
