Rineke Dijkstra - Krazy House MMK Frankfurt 2013 ISBN 9783000405266 Acqn 22160 Pb 23x30cm 124pp 100col ills 24.95 Published on the occasion of a major exhibition at the MMK Frankfurt, this intimate look at the work of Dutch photographer Rineke Dijkstra explores at length her relationship to art history and the Old Masters. Here Dijkstra offers personal insight into her artistic affinities, sources of inspiration, and creative process. Included in the exhibition are more than 50 works by other artists from the collection of the MMK selected by Dijkstra, ones which she relates to her own photographic portraits. Through an interview and texts, she explores both their formal analogies and correlations in content, responding to critical speculation on the roles of contemporary and classical art in her own points of departure.

Veronesi Rose By Camile Vivier Shelter Press 2012 ISBN 9782365820042 Acqn 22328 Pb 23x34cm 18pp 17ills 10col 22.50 Parisian fashion photographer Camille Vivier embraces a dreamlike atmosphere, regularly referencing literature, cinema, art and mythology. With 'Veronesi Rose', she takes as a starting point two recurrent classical subjects: the nude and the still life. The result is a strange and contrary alliance that raises questions about the relationship between nature and artifice, between body and object. Narrative tendrils and an obsession with the anthropomorphic form creep through the series of images, in which nude women recline upon concrete prehistoric beasts, and which is interspersed with abstract daytime shots of colourfully illuminated yet dormant amusement park signs.

An American Road Trip Peperoni Books 2013 ISBN 9783941825451 Acqn 22356 Hb 24x22cm 84pp 75ills 29.95 From today's perspective, it sounds like a fairy tale when Thomas Hoepker speaks about the start of his America Reportage. Would you like to discover America? editor-in-chief Horst Mahnke asked one day. Sure, we said. But what exactly do you want us to do there? I think, replied the editor, youll fly to New York and then you rent a car and you drive westward until you meet the Pacific, and then you drive back on another route and you take pictures and write about what you see. The year was 1963 and Hoepker was 27.

Patrik Budenz - Post Mortem Peperoni Books 2013 ISBN 9783941825277 Acqn 22357 Hb 23x25cm 64pp 30ills 25col 38 Until the 19th century, death was so prevalent in everyday life that it could not be denied. People nearly always died at home, and it was the task of the family to wash and cover the body. Since then, mortality rates have dropped drastically, and the elderly are often moved to hospitals and nursing homes long before they pass away. Today, death has mostly vanished from public perception, and is instead a task for morticians. What happens with a corpse between the moment it is given into the care of professionals and the burial? This series by Berlin-based photographer Patrik Budenz accompanies the dead body on its final journey, revealing what is hidden from modern society.

Tuija Lindstrom - A Dream If Ever There Was One Art And Theory Publishing 2012 ISBN 9789197998536 Acqn 22362 Pb 28x20cm 128pp 83ills 30 Tuija Lindstrm is one of Swedens foremost photographic artists. Published in conjunction with an exhibition at the Hasselblad Foundation, Gothenburg, this book is first in a series covering her work from 1980 to the present. Many of the images were taken in the 1980s while she was studying in Stockholm, a period of experimentation and curiosity for Lindstrm that laid the foundations for her later work. Using opportunities offered by analogue techniques, she conducted a creative investigation into classical themes: landscapes, portraits, nudes, and still lifes. Collected and presented together, the images also highlight Lindstrms influence on contemporary Swedish art photography.

Jenny Kallman Surveillance Art And Theory Publishing 2012 ISBN 9789197998529 Acqn 22363 Hb 22x29cm 100pp 37ills 11col 30 Swedish photographer Jenny Kllman combines the unsentimental with the sensitive, the poetic with the mundane, creating images that roam the liminal space between staged and documentary. This series could also be read as a photo-roman, including social rituals, unseen events, and authentic gestures; the inconspicuous moments of everyday social interactions. They depict the joy of friendship and shared experiences, but also anxiety and a sense of solitude; young people portrayed alone or in small groups, seemingly unaware of the eye of the camera, or ignoring it. It is as if the images capture the very moment before something is about to happen, and the viewer is enticed to create the narrative.

Peter Dekens Touch The Eriskay Connection 2013 ISBN 9789081838429 Acqn 22318 Pb 17x27cm 72pp 40col ills 21.50 Touch is a moving photo story about Stijn, a young man of 23 years old. He was born blind and lives in a modest apartment somewhere in the city. This is the only place in the world where he can move so freely. This publication consists of a leporello which on one side is printed with concatenated pictures that dont care about the size and the way of folding of the book. This makes the disorientation of both the photographer and Stijn naturally tangible. The publication shows the intimate and committed relationship of trust between the photographer and the photographed, and, in a touching way, makes the reader share the world of Stijn, and show, above all, his strength to carry on.

Cristina Nunez - But Beautiful Le Caillou Bleu 2012 ISBN 9782930537207 Acqn 22341 Hb 20x25cm 80pp 44ills 31col 29.95 In 1988, in an attempt to overcome personal problems, Cristina Nuez began taking self-portrait photographs. Giving shape to her emotions and revealing her presence to the world, enabling her to turn an uncompromising gaze upon herself, but also to project herself as she wanted to be, these images became a form of self-therapy and self-discovery. But Beautiful is her endeavour to make sense of her past as a drug addict and prostitute, to explore the roots of her behaviour and actions, and find links with her ancestors. It has worked to soothe her inner pain. Nuez has since used her personal experience to conceive an art-therapy method, which she teaches around the world.

Waterfall 5 - Invisible Cities Waterfall 2012 ISBN 9789868716216 Acqn 22347 Hb 19x25cm 166pp 95ills 27 The fifth edition of waterfall is comprised of a collection of works that imparts a monochrome perspective on our world, whether it be urban landscapes, people, objects or animals. As expressed by editor and art director Shauba Chang, it is a very minimal way of seeing, but expressed in a personal, sentimental way, one that puzzles together our relationship with the city through scattered fragments and comparisons. Through various texts and photographs, the city is depicted not as a concrete presence, but instead as an elusive and subjective concept. With contributions by Christian Gran, Weiwei, Daisuke Yokota, Chi Hoi, Lewis Chaplin, PeiLing Tan and others.
