Martien Mulder - The City Beautiful

Martien Mulder 2017 ISBN 9780692772119 Acqn 27542
Hb 16x23cm 80pp 60col ills 47

After India won its independence in 1947, Le Corbusier was asked to design the city of
Chandigarh. What he created, realising his modernist vision, became known as "The City
Beautiful". While wandering through this brutalist utopia, Martien Mulder found a story in the raw
concrete and the artful details that make up the city. Her photographs are soulful impressions of
Chandigarh's modernist form, and a delicately abstract interpretation of the architect's
masterpiece. This book is her ode to Le Corbusier's core belief that "architecture is the skilful,
correct, and magnificent play of volumes assembled in light."

Danielle Van Zadelhoff - Relatos Del Alma

CAC Malaga 2017 ISBN 9788494619045 Acqn 27829
Pb 22x25cm 128pp col ills 36.50

This book is published with an exhibition of more than 50 photographs by Danielle van Zadelhoff
at CAC Malaga, the Dutch artist's first show in Spain. The themes of her photographic works
denote an intentional existentialism, reflected in her painterly use of chiaroscuro to convey the
textures of each subject's skin and gaze. At once simple and deeply complex, surprising and
intensely stark, Van Zadelhoff's portraits convey her fascination with the human psyche, using
models to interpret innate questions of temptation, vulnerability, doubt, and faith as a pretext for
self-exploration. It shows how the role and situation of women in today's society is one of her
main interests.

Michael Dalton - The Great Falls

Peperoni Books 2017 ISBN 9783941249165 Acqn 27981
Hb 24x29cm 120pp 54col ills 45

Hailing from New Jersey, photographer Michael Dalton naturally treats the subjects of his first
book with a sense of familiarity and reverence. His images from the faded industrial city of
Paterson, with its picturesque waterfall and run-down neighbourhoods, include landscapes,
cityscapes, and portraits of couples, all representative of the pride and resilience found in
communities that have been forced to adapt. The series is both a personal record and a social
document which explores common American themes of perseverance, reclamation, and escape,
with a focus on archetypes found within cities of the north-eastern United States and the evolving
function of cities like Paterson.

Takashi Homma - Various Shaped Hoses

Lim Art 2017 no ISBN Acqn 27312
Pb 14x16cm 48pp 18col ills 33.50

Photographer Takashi Homma began producing a series of books as an homage to Edward

Ruscha in 2014, with each publication taking a new form through its changing subject matter.
While the technique is an imitation of Ruscha's 1964 book 'Various Small Fires', this fifth
instalment in the series attempts its own adaptation of the original by focusing on a theme not
examined by Ruscha. Thus we are presented with all manner of hoses, but mostly garden hoses,
looping and snaking randomly as they were abandoned after the last use. Also, as the title
suggests, one of the hoses is actually a snake.

Malick Sidibe was able to capture the vitality of Bamako's youth and impose his unique style as
shown in this exceptional collection of B&W photographs, including many previously unpublished
images. The book is structured around his major themes: studio portraits, party photographs and
lesser-known images of the youth outdoor. The series are punctuated by the authors' texts,
testimonies of personalities who accompanied the artist from the neighbourhoods of Bamako to
the world's greatest museums.

Elian Somers - One And Another State Of Yellow (incl. C-print)

Fw 2017 ISBN 9789490119508 Acqn 27896
Hb 24x34cm 40pp col ills 51

'One and Another State of Yellow (2013-2016)' studies the interplay between architecture and
urban planning, ideologies, and psychological warfare around two landscapes of 'war' in the US:
1) the urban military experiment El Paso-Juarez at the United States-Mexico border; and 2)
Washington, DC as the US war and control apparatus. El Paso is an American city that borders
directly on Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. In 2010 Juarez was listed as the deadliest city in the world. At
the same time El Paso was listed as the safest city in the US. The work questions the ways in
which architecture and urban planning are strategically employed to threaten or stimulate fear, or
even to deceive an audience or enemy.

Nobuyoshi Araki - Sentimental Journey 1971-2017

He He 2017 ISBN 9784908062186 Acqn 27897
Hb 25x18cm 288pp 350ills 50col 41

Published with an exhibition at the Tokyo Photographic Art Museum, this profoundly poignant
collection of photographs by Nobuyoshi Araki focuses on a single theme from his vast oeuvre: his
wife Yoko. As Araki himself has said, "It's thanks to Yoko that I became a photographer". From
their first encounter in 1968 until her premature death from ovarian cancer in 1990, Yoko was his
most important subject and muse. The book explores Araki's relationship with the woman he
most treasured, beginning with his record of their honeymoon, and continuing with numerous
photos in which she is the subject, as well as many others from after her passing that give a
strong sense of her presence.

Pb 21x30cm 400pp col ills 45

Dutch visual artist Stephan Keppel's ongoing research on public space and urban structures
continues with an exploration of the known and unknown structures and surfaces of New York
City. By assembling a subjective databank of images and reproductions of architectural
references and urban forms, he strips the city of its cliched myth and gives a new perspective on
the metropolis, wherein his own photographs combine with re-photographed archival material and
other found footage. Printed using special high-pigmented inks, the book also questions its own
(re-)production, becoming part of Keppel's endless loop of recycled images, works, and
installations.

Daido Moriyama - Record 34

Akio Nagasawa 2017 no ISBN Acqn27950
Pb 21x28cm 80pp 60ills 33

For this instalment of Daido Moriyama's 'Record' series, the photographer focuses on the city of
Chichibu in Japan's Saitama Prefecture, a place which has traditionally depended on silkworms
and limestone as economic staples. Driven by a desire to escape the daily routine of
crisscrossing Tokyo and its environs while taking snapshots, something which threatened to
make him lose sight of his own mental stance in the chaos of the streets, Moriyama ventured to
this enclave in the mountains in search of a less bewildering subject. There he snaps rail yards,
eating establishments, temples, quiet backstreets, and car parks, even wandering into the city's
green outskirts.

Tsar Fedorsky - The Light Under The Door

Peperoni Books 2017 ISBN 9783941249158 Acqn 27980
Hb 23x29cm 104pp 46ills 1col 42

Based in Massachusetts, photographer Tsar Fedorsky produces work that is contemplative in

nature, quietly disarming and confronting the viewer with the same doubts she herself explores.
She describes this book as wanting "to create a photo narrative about a woman who dreams of a
larger life," one who "yearns to experience the broader world. But at times she feels lonely and
isolated, and seeks comfort in art, literature, and in her imagination." The black-and-white images
of domestic scenes and empty winter landscapes describe hope, longing, and disappointment,
raising questions of personal fulfilment as Fedorsky reflects on the choices she's made in her
own life.

Susanne Huth Sortiment

Revolver Publishing 2017 ISBN 9783957633927 Acqn 27882
Pb 24x31cm 24pp 24col ills 15.95

Cropping, details, fraction, the main features of the photographs of Susanne Huths new series
Sortiment present a fragmented perception of public space in Berlin Mitte. Through close-ups,
she draws attention to elements of the city which we, when striding across it, only register as
elusive and ephemeral. Huth juxtaposes two different groups of motifs: first, details of the window
displays of fashionable boutiques; second, the blown-up graphic structures of youth counter-
culture stickers. Depending on the area of focus, however, she approaches her objects in
different ways: on luxury articles, the camera gaze remains a distant perspective, which, through
the reflections in the glass, simultaneously makes visible parts of the exterior space.

Anoek Steketee - State Of Being - Documenting Statelessness

Rijksmuseum 2017 ISBN 9789462084148 Acqn 27794
Pb 17x23cm 124pp 28

The Rijksmuseum has organized the exhibition Document Nederland' annually since 1975. A
Dutch photographer is asked to focus on a current social topic. In 2017 Anoek Steketee was
commissioned to portray the theme stateless. Steketee went looking for stateless people in the
Netherlands: people without nationalities, without passports, who legally do not exist but live in
the Netherlands nevertheless. To create this book, Steketee portrayed people that were de facto
or recognized as stateless, as well as scenes, places, and documents. She worked together with
journalists Eefje Blankevoort and Arnold van Bruggen and designers Kummer&Herrman. This
photo document includes interviews and texts and presents a probing portrait of life in limbo.

Daisuke Yokota Outskirts

Alauda Publishing 2017 ISBN 9789082396638 Acqn 27957
Pb 23x31cm 92pp ills 51

A hallucinatory night walk in the outskirts of Tokyo, where sleepy suburbia emerges as
dreamscape. Could this be the backdrop for a nocturnal crime scene, or a tale of irretrievable
loss? For the photo essay 'Outskirts', Daisuke Yokota shot his haunting images on colour film
before inverting the colours and changing them to a monochrome palette. The camera staggers
around, resulting in a stream of images of trees, parked cars, and forlorn buildings. Yokota
unpretentiously traverses the boundaries between the digital and the analogue, overdeveloping
film, re-photographing images, and distorting them with heat, dust, or acid. Yokota's dynamic
process is permeated by the spectral qualities of the medium.

The moon has been a source of inspiration and imagination throughout human history. Laden
with mythological and superstitious narratives, it has also been a source of speculative science
fiction and surprisingly real facts. The first collaborative artists' book by Nadine Schlieper and
Robert Pufleb offers a fantastical journey through a fictitious conceptualisation of the moon. With
more than 40 photographic close-ups of what are actually pancakes, this series of "cosmic
landscapes" invites new discoveries and revelations. Join the space trip and witness fantastical
images of mysterious, cratered moons from an unknown galaxy, all while a dawning reality
creeps into perception.

Hong Kong's back alleys have long been Michael Wolf's laboratory for the exploration of
behaviours, creativity and inventiveness of the city dwellers that are reflected in the amazing
variety of random arrangements. In this book bags, brooms, pots, shoes, plants are held in the
wall by pipes; chairs dangle on wire ropes or are stacked to Babylonian towers; vegetables hang
together with gloves, umbrellas and tools on the leash; belongings are artfully laced on handcarts
like Araki's bondage models. 'Hong Kong Storage' is the last of a total of 9 volumes in which
Michael Wolf examines the diverse aspects of street life in Hong Kong.

Bec Parsons is a favourite of the Australian fashion industry, and her images appear in many
fashion publications. Her style is widely recognised as stripped down and unfussed, leaving
elegantly raw images which focus solely on the subject. Reducing things to their most basic and
timeless elements seems to be her modus operandi, and this series, which takes a single model,
Julia Nobis, and New York's Coney Island as its subject and backdrop, is no exception. The
familiar boardwalks and looping rollercoasters are shown as empty places devoid of the expected
buzz of activity, yet the special attention Parsons gives to the blossoming cherry trees hints at a
change of season.

Photography has become an obsession in Japan where only a few unspoiled spots can be found.
For three months, Veronika Spierenburg moved from Japan's south to its north. From this,
Spierenburg created an artist's book which shows the richness of textures, artifacts, traditional as
well as modern architecture in an idiosyncratic mood. The photographs shed light on how
Japanese culture manifests itself in its craftsmanship. The buildings of famous architects such as
Kenzo Tange, Togo Murano, Tadao Ando, Kazuo Shinohara and Kisho Kurokawa are presented
in the book along with folk architecture.
