Tomoko Sawada - Facial Signature

Seigensha Art Publishing 2015 ISBN 9784861524844 Acqn 24949
Pb 15x19cm 240pp 220col ills 45
Japanese artist Tomoko Sawada uses photography and techniques of performance art to explore
ideas of identity, status, culture, individualism, stereotypes, and conformity through traditional and
contemporary methods of portraiture, making use of cosmetics and costume to dramatically alter
her appearance. In her various series, each photograph appears to represent a different
individual or group, yet all of the subjects are in fact the artist herself. For her project Facial
Signature, which considers the intuitive process by which people achieve cognition of true or
false archetypes, Sawada transformed herself 300 times to look like a variety of East Asian
women.

Mariken Wessels - Taking Off. Henry My Neighbor

Art Paper Editions 2015 ISBN 9789490800345 Acqn 25180
Pb 24x33cm 330pp 500ills 49.50
'Taking Off' is a real picture story of a failed marriage, of sexual frustration and voyeurism. An
extraordinary amount of photographs and cut-up collages comprise an archival vertigo of amateur
nude art. Through people she met on a journey through the United States, Mariken Wessels
gained access to the studio and the entire archive of Henry, as well as full consent over its use.
She started redacting the work and rearranging it, so to form an artist's book, in which the
audience will be invited to a journey into Henrys vision of his wife and muse, and to discover the
photographic obsessions of Henry, which through encountering them in the book could become
our obsessions too.

'Life is Strange' displays and dissects the bewildering flood of images with which the twentieth

place in every corner of the world. Photographic all-sorts from everywhere, as the Dutch
illustrated magazine 'Het Leven' called them: photographs of dramatic accidents, extraordinary
events, far-off peoples, remarkable inventions, unusual customs, and larger-than-life characters.

Exit 58 Minimum
Olivares & Associates 2015 no ISBN Acqn 25321
Pb 21x26cm 184pp 80ills 70col 26
This issue honours the minimal, thereby reasserting the importance and the difference between
the little, the minimum, the fragment, and the micro. While technology can bring us to the limits of
perception and beyond, in order to see better, to understand the whole through its parts, without
the need for anything other than our intelligence and our eyes, we have invented the fragment.
With it, we define the scale ourselves. The selected artists confront this concept through different
perspectives and with different purposes. Featuring work by David Goldblatt, Bohnchang Koo,
Ciuco Gutirrez, Pernilla Zetterman, Jochen Lemper, Aleydis Rispa, Claus Goedicke, and others.

Kid Nostalgia - Portraits Of South Korean Youth

Propaganda 2014 ISBN 9788998143190 Acqn 24267
Hb 24x29cm 112pp 52ills 23.95
Park Sung Jins black-and-white shots of kids in their school uniforms betray an undercurrent of
restlessness and rebelliousness, a certain antisocial energy and imperfect freedom that is both
pure and nave. He sought out this raw, ironic beauty not in the majority of youths who are
devoted to their studies and obey the rules, but in those who loiter around the back alleys and
vacant lots, smoking cigarettes. Having left Seoul at age seventeen to move to New York, Sung
Jin is in a way trying to find his own forgotten roots through these arresting and powerful portraits,
fully capturing the youthful charisma and attitude in his subjects postures, expressions and eyes.

Nohara 2014 ISBN 9784904257258 Acqn 24908
Pb 19x24cm 82pp 30col ills 24.50
This tranquilly meandering volume is a record of conversations between two artists who are also
long-time friends, conducted through poetry and softly resonant photographs. Artist Leiko
Ikemuras main techniques are painting and ceramic sculpture. Photographer Rinko Kawauchi is
trusted by Ikemura to be present as she produces her taut, finely honed works. The
correspondence that continues when they are apart, radiating and responding to each others
artistic realms, expresses their individual approaches to the indeterminate nature of our world.
The correspondence accompanying their respective travels is also included in the book.

Morgan Ashcom Leviathan

Peperoni Books 2015 ISBN 9783941825833 Acqn 25448
Hb 30x30cm 74pp 33col ills 45
Morgan Ashcom was raised on a farm in rural Virginia. In 2013, he graduated from the
International Limited Residency MFA Photography programme at the Hartford Art School. His
project Leviathan was shortlisted for the Honickman First Book Prize in Photography by the
Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University. In the project, Ashcom documents the lives
of skater punks who have built a Skatopia for their group in the forests of rural Ohio. It is a
gathering place and community where skateboards, dirt, tattoos, blood, sweat, and fire
intermingle to fuel a subculture of freedom and nihilism. The compelling images found in this
photobook mark the projects first publication.

Bart Eysink Smeets - Finding Myself In India

KesselsKramer 2015 ISBN 9789070478421 Acqn 25449
Pb 15x22cm 24pp 10col ills 13.50
More and more people are travelling across the world to discover other cultures, lose themselves
in the unknown and (thanks to Eat Pray Love and Julia Roberts' alligator grin) the new number 1
travel clich: to find themselves. Bart Eysink Smeets longed for the spiritual enlightenment and
life-affirming answers to questions like; What is the meaning of life? He really, really wanted to
find himself in India, but as a happy Amsterdammer and reluctant traveller he didn't actually want
to go there. So Bart did the next best thing, he harnessed the spiritual power of Photoshop and
carefully inserted himself into photos his friends had taken when they were actually in India.

Lecturis 2015 ISBN 9789462261303 Acqn 25116
Hb 31x23cm 92pp 81ills 64col 36
In 2013 Antwerp was European city of Sport. For the MAS and Antwerp Sport city, this was
reason enough to initiate an amateur football project. Photographer Hans van der Meer was
commissioned to create eight large panorama photos to be displayed in the light boxes. At the
request of the museum he also created a series of portraits to represent the many nationalities of
the multicultural city of Antwerp. Over a period of ten weeks he not only photographed, but also
acted as director to create a film portraying humorous observations of the Antwerp amateur
football scene in his familiar style known from Flemish Fields (2000).
