Perpetual Care - Clay Maxwell Jordan

Fall Line Press 2024 ISBN 9798987625828 Acqn 34354
Hb 26x31cm 94pp col ills £49
"Perpetual care" refers to a service offered by cemeteries providing long-term upkeep of one's
gravestone and plot. In his new photography monograph, Clay Maxwell Jordan inverts this phrase
and applies it ironically to an American society that has failed to protect its citizens. Jordan
photographs those on the periphery whose predicament is exacerbated by the dubious
philosophies of the "rugged individual" mythos of the Wild West and the "pull yourself up by the
bootstraps" mentality popular with certain politicians. Poetic and enigmatic in equal measure,
"Perpetual Care" touches on aspects of the religious, existential, and social in modern America.

Infinite Bonheur - Brittainy Lauback

Lauback's "Infinite Bonheur" is a visual romp and emotional roller coaster that will bring the
photograph and photo book lover back again and again for new reads and greater discovery. Her
fresh wit and acuity of vision strikes a new line for considering what it is for humans to be
embodied and trembling from the sheer playful absurdity of our condition - mortality and sexuality
with a wink and a nod.

Off Days - Tatum Shaw

Hb 25x28cm 128pp ills £49
Photographed mostly in the Southern United States, Shaw's wry black and white images depict
people and places that are neither idealized nor embellished; Shaw pulls back the curtain on the
idyllic suburban American dream to reveal its sobering underside. "Off Days" is among other
things, an eloquent, candid depiction of childhood and an unflinching examination of how we live
today.

Photowali Didi by Buku Sarkar

One Saturday morning, Sarkar happened upon a group of ladies doing their laundry. She asked if
she could photograph them, and they agreed. A few days later, she returned to give them prints.
Thrilled, they invited her into their homes to take more photographs. And so it went for months
while Sarkar became known as their Photowali Didi, "the sister with the photos."
This is an exploration not only of our strange and intimate relationship but a project about the
resilience of communities, an investigation into the altered narratives that permeate their lives,
and perhaps most importantly a project about belonging, breaking barriers, and that of
challenging stereotypes and myths. It is a celebration as well as an elegy." - Buku Sarkar.

Ocean Gleaning - Pam Longobardi

Ocean Gleaning proposes a collaboration between art, science, activism and like-minded groups
that begins with the assumption that the ocean is a conscious entity that, in many different ways,
from rising levels and temperatures to declining fish stocks to coral bleaching and finally to the
deformed material plastic objects that float the world round, is attempting to communicate its
declining state of being. Pam Longobardi has channeled her lifelong love of the ocean into an
artistic practice that transforms the mountains of plastic debris that wash up on beaches around
the world. For more than 15 years, Longobardi has utilized found ocean plastics as her primary
source material, arranging hundreds of plastic pieces into wall-mounted artworks or floor-based
sculptures. Working collaboratively with communities around the globe, Longobardi has cleaned
beaches from Hawaii to Greece to Panama, and dozens of locations in between, removing tens
of thousands of pounds of plastic from the environment and converting them into thought-
provoking works of art that shed an unflinching light on the effects of global consumption on the
natural world.
