Michaela Fruhwirth - Latent Image

ROMA Publications 2016 ISBN 9789491843648 Acqn 26663
Pb 22x28cm 112pp col ills 26
According to the essay by Manuela Ammer, the drawing practice of Michaela Frhwirth responds
to sites where the balance of matter and energy is negotiated, where physical force has acted on
or is acting on its surroundings. It can be thought of as a negotiation of matter and energy,
through works in which tons of rock detritus is transformed into a delicate web of abstract lines, or
where the structure of a hydroelectric dam is detailed in countless graphite strokes. Five of
Frhwirths seemingly monolithic drawings are reproduced in this artists book on fold-out pages
and through installation views. With additional texts by Raviv Ganchrow and Maaike Lauwaert.

Batia Suter - Parallel Encyclopedia #2

ROMA Publications 2016 ISBN 9789491843761 Acqn 26764
Hb 21x28cm 592pp col ills 62.50
Batia Suters work intuitively situates found images in new contexts to provoke surprising
reactions and significative possibilities. This volume follows on from the first Parallel
Encyclopedia, published in 2007. Underlying themes of Suters practice are the iconification
and immunogenicity of old images, and the circumstances by which they become charged with
new associative values. In my work, I collect groups of images based on various themes and
characteristics, and I investigate how they can manipulate each other, depending on where and
how they are placed. In the process of making this book, narrative lines unfolded before my eyes
as I shifted images around.

Louis Luethi, Kasper Andreasen - The Preparator

ROMA Publications 2016 ISBN 9789491843754 Acqn 26766
Pb 16x26cm 76pp 30ills 5col 14.75
This fiction, a collaboration between Kasper Andreasen and Louis Lthi, takes as its starting point
the painter Alexander Cozenss publication 'A New Method of Assisting the Invention in Drawing
Original Compositions of Landscape' (1785). Set one morning in an empty gallery and told from
the point of view of a man who installs exhibitions for a living, 'The Preparator' combines text and
image in a series of compact, associative tableaus, each revolving around a landscape: a title
page, an eighteenth-century ink drawing, the network of cracks in a ceiling, a walk along the
Rhine, a satellite photograph, Thomas Bernhard holding forth in a private garden, and others.

Johannes Schwartz - The Athens Recorder

ROMA Publications 2016 ISBN 9789491843792 Acqn 26737
Pb 27x38cm 546pp 750ills 62.50
What do people do, if they are out in the street? Reading? Waiting? Can we recognize the
inhabitant, the stranger, the traveller by his actions and deeds in an urban setting? This is the
premise of Johannes Schwartzs exploration, which was set in Athens in the fall of 2015. The
result are photos of streets, public squares, museums, ruins and shops, places of culture and
consumption. Devided in 17 chapters everything passes by in a set of chance driven encounters.
Designed by Experimental Jetset.

Mohamed Bourouissa Horseday

ROMA Publications 2016 ISBN 9789491843730 Acqn 26738
Pb 17x23cm 32pp col ills 15.75
Algerian-born photographer Mohamed Bourouissa is interested in systems, in how societyand
particularly subculturesare structured. For his project Horseday (2013), he worked with a local
Afro-American horse riding community in Philadelphia. He was fascinated by the status of these
urban cowboys and organised a competition with artists and riders to find the best decorated
horse. Bourouissa translated this event into a series of photos, a two-part video, and several
sculptures. Both scenes from everyday life and the staged event were recorded. In his
preparations, Bourouissa made many sketches and draft compositions, which are also included in
this book.
