With and Without You
The latest book by Jacob Aue Sobol, With And Without You
is a tribute to his father who died when he was 20 years old. Printed
on Jacobs 40th birthday it is a compilation of all the projects that he
has made and that his father never got to see. This beautifully
presented book features key images from all of his work including the
yet unpublished projects Home, Road Of Bones and America as well as
Sabine, The Gomez Brito Family, Arrivals and Departures, By the River
of Kings and I, Tokyo. With And Without You by Jacob Aue Sobol is in stock now here.
London Ends
New photobook London Ends by Philipp Ebeling
is about the forgotten parts of London. Leaving behind the landmarks of
the centre, London Ends takes the viewer on a journey to the places
where the city ceases to be a city and becomes a series of amalgamated
villages. Sleepy and yet full of life, the places where London ‘ends’
are the places that German photographer Philipp Ebeling has been drawn
to with his camera for many years. Taking in the Chiselhurst Caves,
plane-spotters at Heathrow Airport, Brimsdown and Tottenham, Ebeling
photographed places that are normally overlooked in the story of the
capital. Shifting from the industrial to the idyllic, day to night,
from crowds to solitude, intimate interior to boundless landscape,
these photographs depict both the rhythm and contrasts of life on the
peripheries of the city. Signed copies of the recommended London Ends by Philipp Ebeling are in stock now here.
Message from the Exterior
Message from the Exterior
by Mark Ruwedel explores the ruins and remains of failed attempts to
live in the desert’s harsh environments, depicting abandoned houses –
small, often eccentric huts, both humorous and a little forlorn.
Ruwedel examines the desert regions east of Los Angeles as a palimpsest
of cultural and natural histories, presenting an inventory of a
particular, and poignant, form of vernacular architecture; each
structure might be read as a clue to the lives of anonymous
individuals, and the impulse to create a home in the wilderness,
however transitory. The first section, 'Desert Houses', comprises 68
desert structures, while the second section, ‘Dusk’, presents houses
photographed after the sun had disappeared over the horizon, now
rendered in subdued, dusky tones that suggest both present and absence,
and the weight of isolation. Signed copies of Message from the Exterior by Mark Ruwedel are in stock now here.
Bound to the Ground
After
the well-known disaster in 1986 the Exclusion Zone around Chernobyl
became a prohibited area, the ground there is still severely
contaminated. And yet for some 140 Samosely or self-settlers, this is
their permanent residence, and more than 2,000 people are still working
in and around the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. In new photobook Bound To The Ground,
photographer Esther Hessing and writer Sophieke Thurmer visited the
Exclusion Zone and ‘city of the future’ Slavutych several times to
capture the first-hand stories of power, perseverance, hope and
solidarity. See our video preview of the carefully researched and
elegantly presented Bound To The Ground here. Signed copies are in stock now here.
At Mirrored River
Enda Bowe’s project and photobook 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 which means
awareness. In particular, it is awareness of that which is intangible
and hushed; of being aware of the quietness and presence of people and
the spaces they inhabit. With this in mind, Enda sought to capture the
teannalach of stories and dreams within a singular town. The project is
entirely made in an ordinary small industrial town although it is not a
literal documentation about the town. The chosen space is deliberately
reflective of other similar industrial towns across the world. Praised
by Irish Times Art Critic Aidan Dunne as a project in which “the
ordinary is leavened with the extraordinary”, signed copies of the
haunting At Mirrored River by Enda Bowe are in stock now here.
Other new and forthcoming arrivals
Other new arrivals include the evocative 1973
by Keiichi Tahara, part of the Super Labo 32 series, and the similarly excellent new book Guyu – Allegory
by Maki. Be sure to check back regularly as we expect several
other new books before the end of the year including new titles by Jim
Goldberg and Daido Moriyama.
