Andre Frere Editions 2014 ISBN 9791092265033 Acqn 23522
Hb 25x35cm 176pp 100ills 60

American photojournalist Stanley Greene began his photographic career in the early 1970s,
snapping pictures of the hippie and youth culture surrounding him at the time. In 1975, following
formal training in New York, he moved to San Francisco and started photographing its
burgeoning punk scene with a Leica camera. This captivating, large-format book revisits that wild
and defining time through more than 150 pages of raw, inspiring images. Guided by Greenes
written narrative threading its way through the overly cropped and blurry black-and-white images,
the reader plunges headfirst into a noisy, exuberant realm of concerts, bars, rock clubs and
unforgettable characters.

Bohnchang Koo - Slow Talk
Ivory Press 2014 ISBN 9788494146244 Acqn 23568
Pb 20x24cm 96pp 33ills 27.50

For Korean photographer Bohnchang Koo, his passion is about more than just capturing the
beauty of a scenic view. It requires time and effort in order to deliver a message, or even to
portray the essence of life. Comprising images from four recent photo series (Portraits of Time,
Oceans, White and Pencil of Nature), this book evokes the poetic feeling of emptiness that is
central to Koos work, even while he eludes traditional representations of the objects he portrays.

For centuries, the Spanish city of Toledo has been the subject of iconographic representations,
inspiring artists like El Greco to depict its majestic beauty. To honour the fourth centennial of his
death, twelve international visual artists have been invited to offer their perspectives on this city of
three cultures. Together the artists provide an updated view of the city, using the language of
photography to capture its present, as well as to commemorate its past. Besides reproductions of
these unique images, the book has also involved the collaboration of Israeli video, photo and
cinema artist Michal Rovner.

Bringing together the talents of Basque photographer Aitor Ortiz and Swiss artist Not Vital, this
remarkable publication sees Ortiz creating images of Vitals art, set in the very landscape that
inspired it. With the harsh beauty of the Engadin Valley as backdrop, the dramatic black-and-
white pictures seize upon the stark contrasts inherent to the artists work. A single phrase threads

Screendump #2 - On The Appropriation Of Photos Found Online
Eriskay Connection 2014 ISBN 9789081838481 Acqn 23611
Pb 20x27cm 80pp 37ills 30col 21.50

In its second edition, Screendump examines photography in the virtual era by presenting and
discussing the work of artists who appropriate images taken by amateur photographers the
everyday snapshots posted online for very different purposes than those for which the artists
eventually use them. Including works by Peter Mann, Willem Popelier, Joachim Schmid,
Penelope Umbrico and Corinne Vionnet, it reflects upon how attitudes toward creating,
disseminating and appreciating photos have radically shifted in the digital age, and how the act of
making a picture is now accepted as habitual. Addressing how to comprehend the massive
stream of online images is a key focus here.

Michael Wolf - Hong Kong Flora
Peperoni Books 2014 ISBN 9783941825628 Acqn 23720
Hb 16x21cm 80pp 58ills 56col 32

Perched atop drainpipes, set in glass jars, peeking out from vents and air-conditioning units, or
dangling from wires, the flora of Hong Kongs urban landscape is as ubiquitous as it is hardy, yet
almost goes unnoticed against the overwhelming backdrop of apartment high-rises, neon lights
and cracked walls. Photographed by Michael Wolf, the forlorn cultivars and opportunistic
vegetation of the city whether carefully tended, forgotten or simply growing wild appear as a
metaphor of natures struggles amidst the concrete jungle. Wolf even takes it a step further with
some images, wherein true plants are superseded, their form echoed in the root-like tangles of
cables and pipes.

This second instalment of the European photography magazine approaches the medium as an
indispensable means of observing, understanding and remembering, striving to decipher Europe
at its current moment of history. Special features on Sarajevos painful past and the rise of
populism across Europe stand in sharp contrast to Carlotta Cardanas portraits of Mod couples in
London and Martin Atanasovs grainy, black-and-white landscapes. Interviews with photo
historian Clment Chroux and photographer Guido Guidi offer additional perspectives, besides
contributions by Martin Kollar, Marc Wendelski, Sam Stourdz, Peggy Sue Amison, Pierre Kroll
and more.

What is the status and potential of the photo-book? Not only does the photo-book facilitate other
means of display and distribution than gallery exhibitions, the book format also allows for
challenges of photographys instantaneousness, illusions of movement, and investigations of the
photographic language. The photo-book has furthermore been seminal in the distribution of
avant-garde conceptual photography, as well as social documentary and political statements. Is
the photo-book today mainly a mainstream medium, a collectors item, or a platform for artistic
experiments? This collection of essays addresses current phenomenological, technological, and
practical possibilities for communicating through photo-books and other visual narratives.

Anne De Gelas lost her lover, the father of her son, to a brain stroke in 2010. He fell beside them
on a beach at the North Sea. The violence of his death placed De Gelas before a large void, a
silence that echoed in her head only equal to the brightness of the blue sky that no planes
crossed because of the ashes of a volcano in anger her anger. To face the loss, De Gelas
plunged herself into work begun more than a decade earlier. She continued writing a personal
diary, one which now focused on comprehending and relating her suffering. Yet the diary also
came to be a narrative of that surplus energy that suddenly burst within her, a lens through which
to view the shock and grief.

Vincent Cianni - Gays In The Military
Daylight 2014 ISBN 9780988983151 Acqn 23329
Hb 22x27cm 256pp 70ills 31.95

Through compelling photographs and interviews made over three years on numerous road trips
across the US, Vincent Cianni (born 1952) has created an important historical record of the
struggles of gay and lesbian men and women in the US military. As the Human Rights
Commission attests, the US military has a long history of human and civil rights abuses against
homosexuals, with harassment and discrimination frequently resulting in lost careers and
damaged lives. In many cases, these men and women had attained high rank, received
numerous medals and held top-level jobs that were essential to the military. With essays by Alan
Steinman, Don Bramer and Alison Nordstrom that shed light on the political, personal and cultural
consequences of the ban, this volume reveals the stories of men and women who served in
silence, suffered decades of abuses and often were penalized and prohibited from receiving the
benefits accorded them for serving in the military.

Daylight 2014 ISBN 9780989798105 Acqn 23332
Hb 31x28cm 124pp 50col ills 35.50

In a nondescript concrete building on a busy street in the old city of Kabul, young men file into a
dark, smoke-filled theatre and take their seats. Soon the projector roars to life, and the audience
begins to laugh, whistle and even dance as the latest Pakistani cinematic drama illuminates the
big screen before them. In his new book, Forbidden Reel, American-born, Sweden-based
photographer Jonathan Saruk documents the cinemas of Kabul--entertainment venues that had
been banned under the Taliban but which have sputtered back to life since the US invasion 12
years ago. Forbidden Reel provides an alternative narrative to life in this violence-plagued city
where going to the movies, for many, is an escape from the harsh reality that lies outside the
secure confines of the theatre.

photos on the Nieuwmarkt, Zeedijk and Waterlooplein. Atmospheric images of the fifties, the riots
during the turbulent sixties, lots of people, young people, but also architecture and degradation in

Photographer Tomohiro Muda took his camera to the towns decimated by the catastrophic
tsunami in 2011 and searched through the debris to find small, everyday objects that the waters
left behind. This poignantly beautiful series of photographs records the state of these objects,
which themselves resonate with the gravity of loss and separation that the disaster caused.
Shoes, stuffed animals, crayons, records, manga comics, dishes, handbags, a baseball the list
goes on. He first visited the affected areas three weeks after the event, but it was on another visit
nine months later that he began to document the objects as he found them. Diary entries by

Hb 20x27cm 40pp 15ills 11col 39.95

Italian photographer Olivio Barbieri is known for his use of tilt-shift lens photography, which
simulates a shallow depth of field and makes the urban environments and landscapes he pictures
seem miniaturised. For his latest series of images, presented as an accordion folio, he travelled
to Mont Blanc by helicopter to make large-scale, hyper-focused vistas of the treacherous
mountain and the climbers upon it. Although the images may seem manipulated, Barbieri insists
that they are not. The proportions of the peaks, rocks and expanses of snow are real, and the
people and their positions are also real. Deftly, he captures the mirages and hallucinations of the
mountain.

Daylight 2014 ISBN 9780988983144 Acqn 23330
Hb 33x27cm 156pp 62ills 52col 35.95

Austin-based photographer Mike Osbornes Floating Island revolves around the border-straddling
community of Wendover, Utah and West Wendover, Nevada. Once home to an important World
War II aviation training facility, the town is now a gaming destination with five sprawling casinos.
In addition to tracing this historical trajectory, Osbornes photographs reflect on the surrounding
landscapes fantastical aspects. The books title, Floating Island, refers to a small mountain
located at the heart of the nearby Bonneville Salt Flats. Due to a mirage, the mountain appears to
hover perpetually above the horizon. Drawing on the phenomenon of the mirage--a real illusion--
Osborne merges documentary and cinematic approaches to produce photographs that respect
the particularities of the site while also exploring the myths and fantasies that it inspires.

Jim's Terrible City - J G Ballard And Shanghai. Photos By James H Bollen
James H Bollen 2014 ISBN 9780992815707 Acqn 23832
Hb 24x24cm 98pp 55col ills 30

James H. Bollens photographs are inspired by the legendary British writer J. G. Ballard (1930-
2009), and Ballards semi-autobiographical novel Empire of the Sun. Ballard was born in
Shanghai in 1930 in what was then known as the International Settlement. Through extensive
readings of Ballards highly visual fiction, Bollen explores a literary exhibitions and heritage of
Shanghai with his own painterly photographic language. The images construct an urban
landscape where time ceases to exist and life becomes like a stage set. In Bollens eyes,
violence, flight, car crashes, the incongruities of time and life can seem so immediately cinematic,
or a like a ghostly glimpse of life experienced by J.G. Ballard while living in Shanghai during the
Japanese Occupation. Many of these themes and images can be tracked throughout J.G.
Ballards writings, where a near-hallucinatory state of mind merges memories of a Shanghai
exhibitions while continuing to exist in the citys present.
