Sai Hashizume - Beautiful Stranger

Seigensha Art Publishing 2014 ISBN 9784861524646 Acqn 25445
Hb 20x27cm 104pp 73col ills 33.95
At the age of 25, Sai Hashizume went to study in Europe, spending almost five years living in
Berlin and Paris. During this time, she was deeply impacted by her experience as a foreigner, a
stranger, and her notions about art and self shifted. Her photorealistic, sensual paintings are
executed in a European figurative style, yet incorporate her creativity as a Japanese artist.
Despite overarching themes of classical Western art, mythology, and fairy tales, her roots remain
evident. Recently, her work has become edged with eroticism, surprise, and modern girl power.
This monograph covers three developmental periods before, during, and after Europe, when
she returned to Japan.

Annette Behrens - (in Matters Of) Karl

Fw 2015 ISBN 9789490119348 Acqn 25446
Pb 20x30cm 128pp 75ills 40col 27
In 2007, the Hcker album surfaced the only known album of photographs showing the
everyday life and leisure of Nazis who worked at Auschwitz. Based on these photographs,
Annette Behrens researched the life and person of the albums owner, SS officer Karl-Friedrich
Hcker, adjutant to the last commandant of Auschwitz, Richard Baer. The images, taken at a
popular holiday cottage, show high-ranking officers and auxiliary personnel, who are depicted
living a normal life, detached from their horrendous crimes. Behrens investigates how events
that were long suppressed or deemed forgotten can resurface in collective memory, raising
disconcerting questions.

Elisabeth Ida Mulyani - Inside Embassies

Art Paper Editions 2015 ISBN 9789490800321 Acqn 25447
Pb 20x27cm 72pp 32col ills 22.50
Elisabeth Ida Mulyani investigates notions of neutrality and objectivity in a place that represents a
given government or state in its host nation: the embassy. Intended to promote friendly relations
between two nations, and to develop opportunities for economic, cultural, and knowledge
exchange, the embassy is also simply a place of work for its inhabitants. Yet embassies maintain
an air of mystique, as we wonder what goes on daily behind the scenes. Within the dozen
embassies she has photographed, efforts are made in meeting rooms, waiting areas, and
anonymous corridors to convey something about the nation while attempting to create a homey
atmosphere.

Kasia Klimpel - The Grand Tour

ROMA Publications 2015 ISBN 9789491843365 Acqn 25450
Pb 24x30cm 48pp 32col ills 19.95
This book is published on the occasion of an exhibition of The Grand Tour, a project by
Amsterdam-based photographer and media artist Kasia Klimpel at the Mauvoisin Dam and the
Muse de Bagnes in Le Chble. According to the artist, the project is a travelogue through the
world of maps wherein she lends new meaning to the notion of the Grand Tour, which reached
its heyday in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Klimpel uses the junction between the unfiltered
mass dispersion of digital images and their use as dynamic artistic objects to insert her own
photographic yet fictional model landscapes into the unpredictable algorithmic realm of global
search engines and geotags.

Sato Shintaro - Night Lights

Seigensha Art Publishing 2015 ISBN 9784861524660 Acqn 25307
Hb 24x31cm 64pp 46col ills 28.95
Between 1997 and 1999, Sato Shintaro made a series of photographs of the streets of Tokyo and
Osaka at night. His goal was not to show the popular locations and more recognised scenes, but
rather the everyday disorder of the brightly lit urban landscape after dark. The images are
remarkable for their complete lack of human presence, despite that the big Japanese cities are
known for their bustling, chaotic nature. In the photographers words, The purpose of the lighting
is lost and only the glow remains providing a glimpse of the streets we know well from a less
familiar perspective. This reprint of the original book includes a new essay by photo critic Ueno
Osamu.

Genda 0 - Landscapse As Abandon

A+M Bookstore Edizione 2015 ISBN 9788887071597 Acqn 25296
Pb 17x24cm 136pp 109ills 90col 14.50
GENDA intersects the cultures of West and East with two sets of editorial staff one in Italy and
one in China who identify a common theme that is then elaborated through the
misunderstandings and complexities at the root of every concrete exchange. Applying an
interdisciplinary approach, seeking to trigger new questions, it gathers accidental, compressed,
distant yet similar material. This first issue is dedicated to the concept of landscape as abandon
what remains at the end of a road, the moment a path is interrupted, or when action leads to
impasse. With contributions by Jeff Wall, Bas Princen, Volker Heinze, Fan Shi San, Ni Weihua,
Zhang Kechun, and many more.

Hillie De Rooij Myopia

Eriskay Connection 2015 ISBN 9789492051080 Acqn 25312
Pb 20x27cm 72pp 52ills 48col 24.50
With 'Myopia' Hillie de Rooij shows us that we do not simply look at pictures. There are rules and
codes involved that affect the way we look at images of the world around us. And this surely
counts for images of places we have never been before. 'Myopia' deals with the way Africa is
depicted in Western media and the fact that this is often based on a stereotype image.
Journalistic codes demand a certain degree of stability. Stability provided by familiar foundations
such as vocabulary, perspectives and subject matter. We also use our memory to interpret
images. But in search of recognition we leave ourselves stuck in clichs.

Rene Beekvelt Smorfia

Eriskay Connection 2015 ISBN 9789492051103 Acqn 25313
Pb 14x33cm 42pp 24col ills 11.95
For hundreds of years Catholic Neapolitans have gathered around for la smorfia, a bingo-game,
where dreams are associated with the numbers 1 to 90. La Mamma is 52, if she is laughing, the
number is 9, meaning fertility. The cat is 3, the child is 2 and 89 la vecchia, is the old woman.
The lottery spans your whole life. From naked birth to naked death, through hard times and warm
summer nights. Ren Beekvelt often visited the city of Naples. He wandered around through the
narrow streets where there is unlikely chaos. He intensely enjoyed the sincerity of the
Neapolitans and all facets of life taking place so openly. A selection of his images are used in this
Smorfia card-set.

counterpart, such is his thought. What began as a seemingly random idea grows through various
exhibitions and beach expeditions into a major project. These are 14 postcards taken from the

Boris Mikhailov - Arles Paris...and

Tarasieve 2015 ISBN 9782954476452 Acqn 25455
Hb 29x23cm 86pp 78ills 72col 28.95
Born in Kharkiv and already active as a photographer in Soviet times, Boris Mikhalov is
considered one of the most successful photographers to have emerged from the former USSR.
His style combines social documentary with conceptual art. The series Arles, Paris and
comprises 67 photographs from 1989, retouched by the artist 26 years later, which thereby offer a
fresh perspective on his work. Made on his first trip to the West, shortly after the Soviet Bloc
collapsed, the black-and-white images, now ornamented with gold and splashes of colour, reflect
his discovery of a new world, and convey his sense of wonder and disbelief. With an essay by
Chantal Pontbriand.

and Jacques Damez shed light on the multi-faceted figure that was Pierre de Fenol.
