Dana Lixenberg - Polaroid 54/59/79

ROMA Publications 2022 ISBN 9789464460223 Acqn 32614

Pb 24x30cm 296pp col ills £56

Dana Lixenberg's 'Polaroid 54/59/79' is remarkable collection reflecting the American celebrity
culture she encountered in the 1990s and 2000s. It takes us back to the heyday of print media,
when photos were primarily analogue. The title refers to the types of peel-apart instant film
Lixenberg used between 1993 and 2010, when Polaroid prints formed an essential part of her
work process, serving as test and reference material for lighting and composition. She made
these Polaroid tests in between shooting, usually in black and white. Their inherently analogue
qualities - marked by uneven patches, notes, scratches, or fingerprints - attest to their uniqueness
and utilitarian function.

Pauline Julier – Meadow
ROMA Publications 2022 ISBN 9789464460216 Acqn 32616
Pb 11x18cm 192pp col ills £22.50

This is the 8th artist's publication in conjunction with the yearly summer exhibition in the area of
the Mauvoisin Dam in Vallais, Switzerland, curated by Jean-Paul Felley. Meadow is part of the
Occupy Mars project, conducted by Pauline Julier and Clement Postec, which sees Mars as a
mirror of Earth at the dawn of the new age of space exploration, extractivism, and colonialism. It
bridges multiple, alternative perspectives that question both past and future to bring new
narratives to the fore. Through a series of films, publications, and public discussions, the project
aims to insert new, insurgent voices into the fray. A first exploration took place in the Atacama
Desert in Chile, where the training sites of NASA's rovers are located next to one of the largest
lithium mines in the world. From this trip was created the video installation (three-channels)
Follow The Water, in which the protagonists tell their attachment to this territory.

Geraldine Jeanjean - Rock-paper-roots
ROMA Publications 2022 ISBN 9789464460186 Acqn 32600
Pb 19x26cm 80pp col ills £26.50

The small French village of Aumont, where Geraldine Jeanjean's grandmother lives, is filled with
childhood memories and has been a subject for the photographer's work for many years. Her
photos are proof of what her stories contain and identify the places that have almost become
imaginary. By observing them, she noticed similarities between her children and her
grandmother. While the children discovered reality, her grandmother, suffering from memory
problems, lost touch with it. A search for reality has developed like a game of rock-paper-
scissors.
